Scored!

I love scoring.  I score all of the time and I want to talk about it.  I score in the bedroom, the kitchen, the bathroom, the living room and all around town.  Sometimes I score alone, and sometimes I have a partner.  Everyone can, and should score.  It makes me feel like I'm "in" on a big secret and hold all of the power regarding it's future.

I'd like to show some photos of my favorite scores.
