Hmm. Well, I'm a pretty genuine person... I'd say my biggest priority is disrupting order and trying to get people to take things a lot less seriously than they do. Because of this, you will not see me getting mad about stupid shit. I like cookies, am lactose intolerant, love avant garde everything, am a liar, will let you pay for dinner if you want to, and do not particularly enjoy drag queens.
