outofstepxvx (1:03:09 AM): when someone answers a question wrong, you chime in "are you alicia silverstone? are you clueless?" everyone laughs for ben and adds you on myspace, good looking japanese ladies give you their numbers and ride off on keirin bikes with pleather seats wearing earth crisis shirts after making you yellow curry while karl crisis gives you a high five, some old records and shirts and snapples fall from the sky...i can see it now

My Interests

- veganism
- animal/earth liberation
- the natural order
- straight edge/drug free
- NOT working (job free youth)
- being intimidated by girls
- history
- Learning/self education
- reading (non-fiction)

- good food
- and exploring stuff is cool, especially if its abandoned/haunted.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who's worth it, in this murkiness. someone who's never seeming to be scheming... I do believe that the more you give your love... and i do believe that the more you give your trust... the more you're bound to lose.
