i enjoy music, so much it overwhelms and inhibits me from making rational decisions. i see alot of bands, i don't know why but i need to something to do since i don't drink away my problems and overproductive mind. i absolutely am sick of this routine life, i wish i could afford a major change of environment. it's overdue! i used to travel alot, now it's less frequent but all the same enjoyable. i don't feel very thrilled being stuck in one place too long, although i've been back in minnesota for 4 years now and it's really taking its toll. i work so much that it seems impossible to do anything else, but i try. i miss having a life, not sure that i ever really had one though.
my other half (or have i already blown that?), my dad (not always, the feeling passes), derek michaels (too bad it's too late). and stormy llewellyn, totally.
unobtainable desirables: faun fables (dawn mccarthy), aimee echo, emily haines, maura davis, caithlin de marrais, julia lancer. you beautiful and very swoon-worthy women make music even that more enjoyable. thank you.
These will pretty much always dominate my top 24.
