May we be LJ friends? I like your expressions of indignance. My journal is more or less worthless. I found you via uncleanton. My ass is the one featured with the snake on February 10th.

I'm happy to know anyone who starts a sentence with "My ass is the one featured with the snake..."

For me it gets routed through Dusseldorf!
