| Name: | elgordochico |
| Bio: | Of an iceberg's mass, seven out of eighth must lurk below water. Usually icebergs stretch 120% to 130% longer under the waterline than they do above. | 
| An iceberg just a few hundred feet tall can rise as much as a mile before breaking the surface of water. |
About me
I'm just your average urban nerd, who loves literature, movies, trying new things, slinging webs, learning new languages, improving himself, and dreaming of doing bigger and more exciting things. |

My "friending" policy
I am not sociable these days; I don't make new friends easily. That's why I may not add you back. But I will come over and read your journal occasionally.

WHEN I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
‘Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.’
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
‘The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
’Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.’
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true. |  |
