Making Out. Music by people who are more than just marginally talented and write crowd-pleasing tunes to make money to spend on things they couldn't possibly need. Making my own music (which isn't terribly crowd-pleasing) and writing... Having my photograph taken. Proper grammar. I like my guitars, I like my cat. I like some of my friends. Vegan food and atheism. Having fun and never being sad (who can never be sad?).
Anyone who'd like to meet me. I love people -- as individuals, not as groups. I do like dirty dogs as a group, though -- are there any other dirty dogs out there?
