I'd like to meet:
stoner dudes who will charm me with fresh fruit and new yorker knowledge, then cancel consecutive dates, stand me up, and forget our plans even when they bother to show, probably two hours late with some lame-ass excuse for leaving early. also, the promiscuous ex-girlfriends they still boff, especially if knowledge of my existence drives said (ex)girlfriends to lurk around my myspace page and to vandalize innocent shower curtains at five a.m. while screaming like banshees.on my more social days:
the dalai lama, jeff buckley, nick drake, other dead musicians (i have a strong predilection for dead men ~ maybe it's my checkered goth past, but i suspect it may be bigger than that), fellow buddhists, kind-hearted smartasses, passionate music lovers, clever storytellers, my own buddha nature
