Travelling, travelling, travelling. Kicking some ass at board games, Photography, collecting things no one else wants(typewriters, old instruments, old furniture, old postcards), Tai Chi, traveling, anything related to food, spending time with family and friends.....I like learning about people. Picking brains. Beer(sometimes PBR, sometimes good shit). Coffee. Cigarettes. Carbohydrates. Tom Waits voice. Tattoos. kicking ass at bar shuffle board. Clean laundry, especially that smell emitted from the dryer that you can smell outside. Kisses from good kissers. Buying too many groceries.Getting actual letters in the mail. Photography. Starting projects I have no intention of finishing. Flying kites. Falling in love. Bowling(really, it's sad I know). Museums. Finding old mix tapes from 1992 and laughing my ass off at my musical choices. Great ideas. Great people. Great film and literature. Funk. Good jeans. Remembering people's names. Postcards. Xmas trees. post it notes. flip flops. sexy underwear. songs so beautiful they could make you cry. NPR. solo road trips. cooking. architecture. That's it. i don't like ANYTHING else. In fact, i hate everything else. (jk)
I'd like to meet:
Old school friends and new school friends who remind me of old school friends. People who make me think. People who make me feel. People who leave an impression on me, good or bad. People who come to my Farmer's Market in Moore Square in Raleigh and buy stuff so my farmers are happy. People who enjoy Charles in Charge and can sing along to Bel Biv DeVoe, yet could easily enjoy a night at the symphony or a philosophical conversation.
I'd like to find a boy to take naps with. And do crossword puzzles in bed with fruit loops and cartoons. And make chicken pot pie for. Someone to dig through alleys and dumpsters and salvage yards to find forgotten gems. To take me camping. To go on road trips. To make me happy.
