Educate yo'selfs on some jog-raphy, and stop asking such stupid questions.
About Me
- Name: Autumn
- Location: Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
Look, I'd like to tell you more about myself, but I really hate these kinds of things. It seems really conceited if I go on about myself in anyway -- obviously loathed to do it. But then I think, "Maybe someone gives a shit."
Walt Whitman wrote in Leaves of Grass: "Do I contradict myself? Fine, I contract myself. I'm large and I contain multitudes." I always thought that Walt wasn't the only one. And anyway, if you want to know more about me, read the blogs.
- Hey, there are LOADS of cool things further down the page! Just scroll down.
Would you move thousands of miles away from everyone and everything that you knew and held dear to be with the one you loved? Man... that was a STUPID thing I did.
