mens rea 01hide bio
 Hmmmmm... A bio about me? - When I get nervous, I start cracking jokes to the point that I start looking like the class clown. - I blare my car stereo with all my windows down when I pull into work in the morning. It's like my little way of damning the man. - I buy too many of those reusable bags they sell at Target and the grocery store, but then I never use them again. So much for being reusable. - I hate that I now have to root for Favre, because he's with the Vikes. - I'm overdramatic, especially when it comes to my hands when I'm talking. I'm so overdramatic at times that I've been accused of being drunk when stone sober. - I love Russian beer, even though it makes me sick every time. - I'm not clever enough to write fanfic, so I write reviews. |
