WELCOME TO MY PRECARIOUSLY BALANCED UNIVERSE…
...in which I ask important questions like "If I'm the centre of the universe, why don't I get my way more often?" and "What if the laws of the universe are merely suggestions?" and of course the key questions, "Have you subscribed? How will I know you like me if you don't?"Join my universe
Meet me...
