(Encarta World English Dictionary)
Intellectual bent? sorry to say, but I think so
Disapproved of? all my life
Bite heads off live animals? … uh I guess not, leave that to Ozzy
Unattractive and socially awkward? can’t you tell at first glance??
Excessive computer use? … my three blogs and countless failed websites speak for themselves
So… what’s the hassle?
I am who I am, I am what I am, and the sole fact that I prefer to reveal the brighter side of my life doesn’t mean I can’t claim the darker one.

I FEEL: cold
