| Introduction | I was born at a very early age! From a tiny little cleft called Inagimation, I was carried over to Lexington Kentucky by way of a fairy named Millicent Blue. There I grew up inside of a movie theatre. As far as earth goes, I don't really belong here! Thus, my stay will be short. My gifts are on loan to me. My life belongs to someone else. My selfish wants and desires are nailed daily, up a hill and on a cross. I'm invisible. All day long I crave blood. And my best friend is a Rock! |
