"I caught that falling star - It cut my hand to pieces" - Echo And The Bunnymen
People who are kinda old fashioned, non sociopathic, exhibit proper manners, and have a clue, other people with bangs, mods, punks, elves, hobbits, wizards, UK and German boys, dancers, dreamers, knights, lovers, artists, muses, firestarters, chimney sweeps, and Ian McCulloch (again, even tho once was oh so nice and he signed a setlist to me using my back as a writing desk). People who inherently understand that libraries don't exist solely as a free place to log onto the internet, but actually contain books, and are enthusiastic about possibly reading one. No psychic vampyres, but the other kind are welcome. ((((*NO* bands just looking to promote themselves unless I know and love you.)))) Someone who can give me a time machine so I may travel backwards to another era and century. If you are just looking to collect random girls for your page, forget it - seriously, no way. Or in plainer English - sod off!! No wankers - my dance card is full, I don't really want to meet anyone. For real! (Maybe, if you are a German or a Swiss scientist, to take me away from all this).
"'Torn between the light and dark', I suppose that's a lot of what I'm on about, seeing things that both attract and at the same time repel." - Ian McCulloch, 1984
