Amusing and intelligent artists. People who have an appreciation for absolutely dry and dumb humor. People who have a strong love for movies and/or music are the people with whom I bond the most. Musically unemployed, looking for unconventional musical collaborations. People who are too legit that it is not optimal for them to quit.
