My Interests

writing, music (see section), subcultures- the more obscure the better, politics, futurism, dadaism, surrealism, art nouveau, art deco, fin-de-siecle art and culture, absinthe and other spirits, fluevog, jack the ripper, interior design, people who think for themselves, maps, urban environments, gardening, tarot

I'd like to meet:

artistic people who aren't pretentious about being artistic, politically aware people who aren't intent on telling everyone what they should be doing, intellectual people who realise that if you don't see the humour in life, you end up sniffing glue.now, unfortunately, i feel i have to say a few words on who i don't want to meet: i am not interested in getting emails from men randomly cruising the internet for girls' profiles to add to their collection.if your profile is set to "private", please send me a message to let me know who you are.if you're interested in chatting, you might want to see if we actually have something to chat about. i can meet people i have nothing in common with anywhere. music is an interest, but my tastes are fairly specific, so you might want to see what i listen to before telling me that your band will rock my world. if i'm old enough to have given birth to you, i'm probably not interested in anything else. sorry.so hit me with your best shot...

It's a room, but a strange one, you've not really seen one like it before, strangely divided with curtains, spiraling inwards like the rings on a tree trunk, leading you towards an unknown center. Str...
