About Me

..I'm that anomoly among Leos, a shy one. Don't get me wrong, I like to be the center of attention, I'm just not a schmoozer. So if you see me and you think you wanna talk, make the move.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who aren't FLAKES. There seem to be a lot of them out here and I am sick of that bullshit. People who don't have to make sure they always act cool. People who will be a complete dork no matter where they are just to make me laugh. People who are up front about what they want from me, be it in regard to work, friendship, or intimacy. I can't be bothered with passive aggressive crap. People who are themselves, not who everyone thinks they should be. People who are into roller derby, have similar musical tastes, like bad movies and shitty hair bands from the 80's on vinyl. People who read, as I am a hardcore book weenie. If you don't read at all, we probably won't get along. People who buy me whiskey, tease me on a regular basis and call me on my bullshit.

I DO NOTadd people I don't know, I've never met or have never even had at least a couple of messages between us.
