most humbling moment: The blessing of making it through another day.

heroes: Kent Cadogan Loftsgard, my dad, Beth Dart, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore.

crush: depending on what I'm in the mood for... Christina Hendricks Natalie Portman Elisha Cuthbert Rachel Miner Jessica Alba Jaime Murray

body mods: long keloid scars on both thighs and spine. smaller scars on ankle and hip. Oh and a neato hooking scar on my wrist from that time I jumped from a low hanging branch.
