I’ve never written a good bio for anything
I don’t really like videos where people are doing little dances but I will always watch the ones where they’re doing the Rasputin dance

Sometimes I wish I had the power to pass messages back in time just so I could tell myself what the weather ended up being like that day. I’m always wearing the wrong clothes
