Interests make stuff with found objects, paint, collage anti-war posters, create new jewelry from old, fix little mechanical things, spot liars, thieves and cowards before it's too late, find acceptance even if I talk (! reinvent myself as needed, know when to fold 'em; Laugh, sing, dance every day, even just for a second.

What did you dream when you ate a spider while sleeping?

I dreamed I was a sleek, flexible and very powerful industrial vacuuming device that constantly snaked through the building's heating and cooling system. I never needed electricity since I recycled energy from any amino acid-based forms I ingested to keep running and to vaporize any dust. That one was particularly large thus useful. Invented in "Brazil;" now used world-wide.
