I am 44% Tortured Artist.
.. I have some artistic ability, but it is probably a hobby and doesn't drive my life into a dark abysmal hole were I am alone and against the world. Take the
Tortured Artist Test
@ FualiDotCom
I'd like to meet:
People who actually are able to GO OUT AND DO THINGS!! People who throw parties...nobody does that anymore and it makes me sad.
Artists of every type. People who have a passion for life and aspire to do more than get drunk and stupid. People who are outgoing, fun and positive. People who paint, take photos, write, act, play music, whatever... People who are geeks about music, movies and art and can engage in animated conversation. Basically just cool people in general. Oh and a cute girl who likes to go to galleries, and rock shows and cuddle on the couch watching movies. awwwwww.
