About Me

AIM-HammLilly www.people.ucsc.edu/~jgross www.myspace.com/JGfilm
Sometimes you just have to be a little immature...

My Interests

music (going to shows, playing guitar). movies (hence that whole film major thing). sports (soccer, tennis, snowboarding, martial arts). world cup soccer. photography. writing (lyrics, poetry, etc). reading. friends & family. laughter.

I'd like to meet:

Gwen, Johnny Depp, Edward Norton, Christopher Walken, Kevin Spacey, Angelina Jolie, and I'm sure Tori would have some interesting insights... along with Lucille Ball and Jim Morrison (if they were still around). Otherwise: chill, drama-free people that I have something in common with.

Music:

I'm a very eclectic one, really... I listen to punk, hardcore, rock, classic rock, hip hop, rap, pop, oldies, blues, etc. Want more detail? Don't hesitate to ask.... It would just take too much energy to type in.
