complexity is the mother of pretention

I am a fountain of blood, in the shape of a boy. I don't tend to follow back if you post nudity, it's nothing personal. I'm a graphic design student hacking his way through school with a box cutter and a cash register.

When I was young and gay I desperately wanted curly hair and spent many years disappointed that I couldn’t talk my mother in to letting me have a perm.

I have a theory that all gay boys have a story involving permanents.
