Allow Me to Introduce Myself…

Hey there. I’m Alex.

Earning my acceptance is easy. It’s my respect that can be tricky. I find people who use substances too murky to make good companions. I’m totally cool with people’s bullshit, because I’ve found it makes excellent fertilizer. If I close my left eye, the whole world goes blurry. Sometimes I wear an eye patch to soften the edges a little. I plan to fold and name a thousand paper cranes. I tend to procrastinate severely. I only really serve one purpose: cat food can opener. I typically reek of incense. I’ve had the same best friend for ten years, and her ass has grown exponentially. I’m pretty obsessed with infectious wounds. I make up words when I’m at a loss for them. I’m fueled by Diet Coke. I don’t eat animal. I dream vividly every night. I chew on my tongue when I’m nervous. My scars warn me when I need a cigarette. I hate wearing shoes a whole lot. My favorite jeans are patched with hemp and an old t-shirt. I never throw anything out. I prefer my bottleneck ring to anything shiny. If I eat something salty, I have to eat something sweet within twenty minutes to restore the equilibrium. If I ever get out of this damn town, I’m pulling the rug out from under it on my way out.
