My Interests

My general interests consist of:Star Wars, Cinematic Adventures, Xenomorphs, Graphic Novels, Phat Burrito, Elvira, '80s Dance Parties, Lounge Singing, Ninjas, Zombie Security Scenarios, Japanese Wrestling, Heists, American Football, Bikini Car Washes, Sushi, Writing, Super-Heroes

I'd like to meet:

Less Than Jake is a ska-punk band from Gainesville, Florida - and coincidently is the greatest band in the world. I've seen these guys live but if there was any group I could interview or spend a night out with, it would be these guys.
Then of course there's the creator of Star Wars, George Lucas. After gushing to him about how I'm the biggest Star Wars nerd ever, I would be tempted to bash him and set him straight on the way he handled a few things in the prequels. Okay, that's a lie - I don't have the balls.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
