bio raze i think if i had to write one now, it would go something like this: i am a bearded biped who lives and dreams in a canadian border town named for a knot. i only write about myself in the third person when i'm swaddling the truth in fiction's clothes. i can snap my fingers, but i never learned how to whistle. most of my best friends are squirrels. and i'm good with that. 240904 ... nr "someone who seems like they could own a lizard" seems to have gained me some intrigue 240905 ... nr i never learned how to whistle either, but i can make blades of grass whistle, so there's that. 240905 ...

Not like anyone would care, but I worry about looking stupid. 240906 what's it to you? who go blather from
