Thanks for stopping by! ^-^ I'm Twisted, a 27 year-old baseball-crazed middle-child wannabe musician living outside Kansas City who loves guinea pigs and her 5-person family.

'Cause Hunter x Hunter doesn't get enough love.

P.S. ShikamaruRocks is my sister - emphasis on her being female. Thank you for your time. ^.^
