About Me
I'm 21 years old, and I've got spina bifida, but I'm very fortunate. I'm able to walk, and have pretty much complete control of all aspects of my physical health. I'm newly married and just moved to Virginia. I've got a MySpace page if you'd like to see it! It's http://www.myspace.com/i_r_punk_hear_me_roar.
