100 things about me (part 2)

welcome to installment number two of "100 things about shivery!" before i continue, i must clarify something: seastreet, i was being literal when i said i was afraid of flying. i'm far too egotistical and self-important to mean it metaphorically! and it's true, i do kind of fly a lot. i just sedate myself heavily, pray, and know that whatever awaits me on the other end is going to be completely worth the hell of the travel experience.

but, if i had my druthers, i'd go all over the bloody planet by train.

and now, back to the show...
