I enjoy movies, music, hiking, biking, swimming, reading, BBQs and cocktails with friends, and the occassional Vegas trip.
Looking to make new friends and reconnect with old ones. For new friends I'm mostly looking for LA locals rather than penpals. I'm not interested in collecting links to hundreds of "friends" who are actually strangers - I'm more interested in people that I have a good chance of actually seeing face-to-face and socializing with away from the computer.
