101 Things you didn't know about me: Part II
Well, I'm expanding on my "101 things you didn't know about me" post, even though a lot of people know these things because well, it's taken me forever to write this and I need content.
Here we go:
- I once managed to talk myself out of a handicapped parking ticket while in a well-off intoxicated state.
- I am NOT handicapped, no matter what my friends think.
- I want everything I can't have. The sad thing is, I don't want much, but even the simple things are elusive.

- As much as I tend to think practically, I lose my mind to my imagination constantly.
- I know exactly what I want.
- I lied, and have no idea what I want.
- I'd rather have a short meaningful relationship, than a long meaningless one, no matter what the cost.
- And I will always reserve the right to be hung up on it.
- I live in Detroit. I like my neighbors, I hate my taxes.
- I've began to drink coffee again. Religiously.
