Ha, that one's actually pretty true. I never really look people in the eyes and always look off to the side acting like something is catching my attention. Just about everyone i've talked to said my stare is intimidating. So i never really look people in the eyes...Or wear sun glasses.

So you've got that serial killer look about you? Laughing I drive my friends nuts whenever we are out because I am always pointing people out putting them into 3 categories if they have the right look: rapists, serial killers, or crack heads, etc. Surprised

Yeah, some of my friends think I am being silly but, it's the ones who wear the "members only" jackets that does it for me. They have that very lonely blue eyed slash your throat look, hair just a little messy like Willian Gacy (The Clown Killer). I refrain from socializing with them and also, the men who drive vans. I stay away from them. They have bodies in those vans. I am not kidding. I don't go near any vans ... Wink

Jojo I'm not sure what you are on about here, but you are coming across as if you are just a tad unbalanced.
