Looking at the sky, annoying my dog, watercolor, theater, writing, music, movies, sculpture, prosthetic makeup (any theater design), cooking, gardening, guitar, playing with puppies, costuming, pirates, history, archery, and the history of beer.
I'd like to meet:
Awesome people who I either know or who share interests and would like to waste time discussing silly things.OR people who are artists (musical or visual) who would like to comment on my work, send me their work, or collaborate. I would especially like to find out if anyone out there with a kick ass band needs artwork to go on posters, cds, websites, whatever. I'll do it!By the way, I only add people I have actually met or spoken with (except for bands). If you are an artist and you want to add me, send me a message first. I don't add people that I have nothing in common with, and I don't add people because "they have a kick ass profile". We actually have to have similar interests, okay? K.However, if you happen to be Sufjan Stevens, Jack White, Andrew Bird, Stuart Murdoch, or Gary Lightbody, feel free to send me a message any time. Any time!

Now if they would only release all of the old school nicktoons... and Daria!..
