Whoever life happens to bring my way.
I am not, however, looking to meet anyone with romantic or sexual intentions through the interweb.
I am terrible at identifying songs and artists.
I like making it and listening to it.
I sing along to songs I've only heard once before (or never before); and I somehow usually get the words right or close to right... even in different languages.
Something I can dance to.
Something I can understand the words to is preferable.
I'm not a big fan of polka, hip hop, rap, or grindcore, though some exceptions to this rule occur as well.

"A boy doesn't have to go to war to be a hero; he can say he doesn't like pie when he sees there isn't enough to go around." - Edgar Watson Howe
