MUSIC, music (did I mention music?), and more music.Day of the Dead crafts (there's nothing better after spending a day among the living than to relax among the bright and cheerful dead).The paranormal (but you probably guessed that one, right?)Jewelry-making. Despite all the slivers of silver getting stuck in my fingers and cats running away with the beading wire trailing tiny little beads all over the place, it's one of my favorite things to do in my rare spare time.Reading, although I really have to steal time to do that these days. I have a pile of unread books next to the pile of unwatched.......Movies. Since I don't get out to watch them in the theaters when they come out I tend to buy them after they are out on DVD. I am woefully behind in watching those too. Sometimes, two hours is too much of a time commitment...Cooking. Those who know will tell you if I am any good or not.Oh wait! Did I forget to mention MUSIC?
Interesting people who are into MUSIC - live/love/breathe music! Friendly, quirky - and most importantly - FUNNY people with a highly developed sense of humor. You'll need it around me.Also, those with a mind open to ideas bigger than what's easiest or right in front of them are quite welcome here. You'll need to have that too. ;-)Please don't try and add me if you are just looking to add to your "collection" of women. I'll just snicker at your request and delete you. If I don't know anything about you and you want to be a friend, please do send a message first and tell me a bit about yourself. I do like meeting and making new friends, but at least give me a reference point that we can progress from. :-)Don't worry - I'm not mean, I don't bite, I'm not snobby, but like to have people on here I would really like to be around in "real" life - and would have the greatest party in the world with all of them! So bring your records and your guitar and come set a spell. I'll make the tamales!
