Music in the indie pop vein, improv, politics, cooking, gardening-really any type of home improvement, books, movies, obsessing about meaningless crap.
I'd like to meet:
In an ideal world: laid back individual who knows how to go with the flow; music lover who has an affinity for brit pop, americana, singer-songwriter, or indie rock; creative genius who feels inclined to act on their talent; established in work and personal life; stable with a capital S; self-assured without the influence of alcohol;loves to travel and has;leftward leaning politicos; thinks life should be lived.
Not for me: anyone who says their favorte band is Metallica, Soulfly, Aerosmith, Phish or Eminem (nothing against Em-just not sure I could handle what goes along with being a fan); anyone who needs to be enrolled in an anger management course; someone whose entire myspace friend list comprises naked or nearly naked women; someone who is still "figuring it out"; desperate attention seekers; anyone who voted for George W Bush.

You Are Miss Piggy
A total princess and diva, you're totally in charge - even if people don't know it.
You want to be loved, adored, and worshiped. And you won't settle for anything less.
You're going to be a total star, and you won't let any of the "little people" get in your way.
Just remember, piggy, never eat more than you can lift!
