I'm in a SUPER committed relationship (it wears spandex and fights crime.) I like my friends. They are people who think it's cooler to have fun than to be cool...People who read more than they watch television...People who are quick to smile. Hilariousness is always a plus, especially when tempered with kindness. They are as comfortable with a fab pair of heels and cocktails as they are with a tent and campfire. I enjoy people who enjoy local music, roller derby, horror movies (zombies are my particular favorite,) tattoos, Audrey Hepburn, napping, singing at piano bars, dancing like no one can see you, scraped knees, fairy tales, short skirts, the great outdoors, and video games.FYI: I'm not likely to add friends I haven't "spoken" to--In the most internety sense of the word. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just a strait shooter.
