And since I don't want to be imprisoned or get needle marks, I assumed a psuedonym! Maybe one day soon I'll let my family kno my alias, but that day hasn't come . . . yet. ...more

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
