People to talk about trashy novels and bad tv. Anyone who'll watch silly movies with me. People who listen to lame music. People who live in the Bay Area, since I live here. People who dig art, and have an interest in art besides impressionist painting (I'm running into too many of these people lately as is!). People who still watch cartoons. People who like to laugh a lot. People with ambition, even if it's just really wanting to perfect the art of paper airplanes. People who like to go out for a beer and cheap tacos. People to have uno battles with. People to teach me how to be better at crafting. Anyone and everyone who despises 'hip' internet speak which pop culture has only glorified (dammit, you has a y and an o in the word as well!). People who make me do stuff besides sitting around!
