I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet people who can use apostrophes.
I have a lot of friends on MySpace, but do not let my apparent popularity deceive you. I add mainly musicians and comedians to find out about tour dates and new acts. In real life, I spend most of my time sitting alone in a puddle of weak soya tea, crying into a shoe.

Every time I even consider filling in this section I get stressed enough to scratch out my own appendix as a pleasant distraction. I love so many artists, I feel I would be doing a huge disservice to all the ones I can't fit in here if I try to list them all.
