Here’s my Story:

Hi, i’m Grayson. i’m only 14 but if Myspace reads this i’m 16 hehe. i’m just your normal fun-loving guy who likes all the same things you do. i think my biggest passion is for theater. or cooking. My mom says i’m really good at both. if you think you’re coming in between us you’re sadly mistaken. from birth to death, womb to doom, Sherri is my No. 1. she’s all of my top eight. i also play basketball, so maybe if you’re lucky i’ll perform the “Get’cha Head in the Game” choreography.

Nov. 21, 2008: just saw the midnight showing of Twilight. anyone want to go see it again tonight?

Jan. 15, 2009: i’m just so insecure about my height…



Jan. 22, 2009: hey there delilah, what IS it like in New York City? thinking of moving.

Feb. 10, 2009: my dad has been pushing me towards basketball, but i’ve just always wanted to sing…

Feb. 14, 2009: Hey guyzz, it’s February 14, so you know what that means. i just want to give a SHOUT OUT to Sherri. she’s the best woman I kno. my dad’s a lucky man and he doesn’t even know it. like, she makes the best food and like always smells good. maybe dad doesn’t have a sense of smell. i don’t kno. but she made me a valentine and it was BEAUTIFUL.

Feb. 22, 2009: anyone want to hang at the mall tonight?

June 5, 2009: trying to sneak into “The Hangover” tonight. Who iz innnn

June 6, 2009: Starting my own lone wolf pack. message me if you want in.

June 7, 2009: OK, none of you want to be in my wolf pack. that’s kewl. wut ever.

June 9, 2009: decided to play basketball full time, if anyone cares.
