I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I ride my bike to work because it's nice, gas is expensive, it's better for the environment, and it allows me to rock out to my music at a much louder volume. Dangerous? Sure. Lovely? You betcha!!!..

My Interests

Finding better ways to rock out to music in the car without being seen while stopped at a red light. Freeze Tag, Non-stick pots and pans, harrassing those not registered to vote, reading aloud from the dictionary, forcing other people to taste my cooking, forcing other people to read my writing, dodgeball, HB City Jail visiting hours, Maliciously calling friends to say 'happy birthday' when you know they didn't remember yours, listening in on conversations at the table next to me, letting waiters know that I feel their pain, coffee, bartenders, Scene select mode on DVDs, people who get up early

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who has a good spirit, an open mind, and loves culture and life. I'm a people person so I love new things and new people. I dig on artists and poets, people who dare to dream, or anyone out there who has had enough of doing what everyone always told them they should. Just be yourself... Whether or not we've met, I would still respect and admire you for for it.
