complaining that i dont write enough, constructing giant origami animals, dryer sheet smell, studded belts, jeans that hang waaay too low on my hips, meeting eyes with someone at a concert and feeling the surge of excitement as the music blares, schoolgirl skirts and white knee-high socks, sweaty punk shows, batman comics, international toy fairs, yard sale action figures, greaser and pin-up culture, pop art, propaganda, local band poster art, wearing my all-stars down to shreds, hating my cell phone, KAIJU big battel, those cheapskates on craig's list, Iron Chef, BDSM, joe bob briggs, hardcore making out. oh, how could i forget the pirates. arrrrg!
I'd like to meet:
have some semblance of a clue. dont talk on your cellphone all the time, carry around one of those frufru dogs in travel bags, or get scared off when i tell you i like things a little rough in the bedroom. know who you are, know how to laugh, and for god's sake, use some sarcasm once in a while. brains are there to constantly move and learn. lets keep eachothers working.
you need words? you need website copy for your band or a sales letter for your business? let me know.you'll want to meet me, and i want to meet you.
