Any number of people that can appreciate a good time and enrich my life, maybe even teach me something new about the world and myself. Or drinking buddies...
Fugazi is the most important band ever. I just realized that I don't have any Afghan Whigs on my iPod and got a little sad. A party isn't a party without some Prince. Justin Timberlake is not a guilty pleasure- just a pleasure. The Descendents ruined my self image and chances with girls as a teen. Sly Stone is back. The Replacements would be the soundtrack to a movie about my life. Brainiac forever and ever.
I cry during them. My Netflix account gets a lot of mileage. I've seen more Alfred Hitchcock movies than you have.
