I am Skull Fucking Lady, and I can analyze a mean image. In fact, I know you're being brainwashed by images before you're even aware that your looking at one. I'm so badass that someone NAMED me Skull Lady in high school. Because I wore a skull on a necklace to school, bitch. I'm good at not caring what people think of me AND not taking things too personally. I'm a good teacher. I'm Hi-larious. I see the core of the issue. I finish what I start and meet deadlines because Finnish people follow 150% of the rules and still manage to outdrink everyone in coffee or vodka.

I am Kelly Fucking M and I got a degree in Chemical Engineering, and was on the Deans List, and was still drunk half the time. I know everything there is to know about drinking water. I passed the EIT, the PE, and my driver's exam all on the first try. I am an amazing chef and chocolatier, a talented knitter, and can sew my own clothes. I throw awesome parties and weddings. Actually I am excellent at organizing pretty much anything. I have a great sense of direction and never get lost. I'm funny and a good listener and give good advice.
