I am here for Serious Relationships

About Me

INFP on Meyers-Briggs. I am Scorpio. I love some music very much but am perceived to be a music snob. I don't think it's true but I do only like a limited amount of music. I play & record music so much that it's detrimental to my relationships with humans. I don't leave the house as much as I should. You can hear it at: http://www.myspace.com/spookie. On the music front, I used to play in the seminal preeminent speed metal band and press favorites, Archers of Loaf. I like odd people, but funny people even more so. I love animals but hate being slobbered on. I just passed the NC bar. Now I'm looking for the job. I love bowling. I love gadgets like my MP3 player and Alco-hawk but I'm not materialistic. I'm a shoe connoisseur. I'm immature by choice. More than ever, I hate all that is Dook basketball and love all that is UNC basketball. I like sports like a man and shop like a woman (is that sexist? probably - sorry). I'm heterosexual but enjoy frollicking.I like piers, Pirates, Great-white sharks, cookies, 7 & 7s, LITs, driving an old rickety car, music, sleeping (probably more than anything), humor, justice, some TV, going to baseball games, playing Mortal Kombat and Twisted Metal II, ice cream, taking pictures, jumping on trampolines, swimming, the beach, salt air. I love the underdog but I don't think all overdogs are bad.I am in the market for a lap steel guitar. Anyone wanna donate one to me?

My Interests

What’s Tina Turner got to do with it?

So I'm sitting in class today and my professor said, totally by accident, "what's love got to do with it"? He kind of chuckled because he realized he had inadvertently quoted Tina Turner. Well, I thou...
