Hmmm........ Not much to put here.
I am a lurker. I peep in your windows at night, nibble holes in your bread, poop in corners, and then blame the mice.
22, long haired, and always wearing black. Oh yes, I also usually read/post while drunk. Huzzah!

For the love of all things good and pure, learn some geography!
A few years back I was trying to organise a meet up with a friend of mine from the USA. Yes, another one of *those* stories...
I thought a nice half-way spot might be fun and interesting, so I suggested the Azores Islands.
She didn't have a clue where they were, even after I said mid Atlantic.
Fair enough, thinks me. Not everyone knows. I then proceed to say it is west of Portugal.
Where is that? Comes the reply.
At this point I'm grinning to myself and thinking perhaps the stories of Americans not knowing geography may be true.
I tell her it boarders the west of Spain. Surely she must know that, they colonised most of the Americas afterall!
To my dismay she doesn't know where Spain is either.
South-West of France? I enquire tentatively.
At this point she gives up and goes to find a map.
*headdesk*
I also remember the time a different American asked me where I lived. I told her I was from England.
She then asked me what state that was in.
*groans*
Please people, maps will not bite you! Learn about something that is outside your disturbingly shallow lives!

Stupid crap
Flyers from the last 2 months, bits of wire and string, a leather strap, the obligatory chewing gum...
and about 20 lighters.
It's great during winter. Hands cold while waiting for the train? Get the lighters out and start BURNING them. I learnt this handy tip after nearly freezing to death one cold lonely winters night when I missed the last train. Your skin isn't suppossed to turn blue...
