I Am Not Your Stereotypical Anything

I feel like I have all these deep thoughts and feelings. But they've all been thought and felt before. I like to believe I have an original outlook and taste in music, but in reality there is at least 2 million other people like me...

I'm not like that. Yes, I have my lazy days. Like everyone, I like a lie in on a weekend. But...

My body is made of sepia tone painted skin, a billion thick strands of silk black blanketing the whites of my scalp, two dark marble eyes glaring through small slits at the top of my face, and stubby, compounded legs that sprout my...
