Parties. Preferably ones with lots of people dancing with beer in hand. But not freaking, which is a kind of dance that simulates doggy-style lovemaking. Grrross. Sandwiches with gobs and gobs of peanut butter.
Graphic Design, a kind of art that people use. Writing and telling stories.
Collecting sneakers, especially hightops. Metaracism, which is when a hilarious person makes fun of racism by being racist. I like to make .txt lists on my computer and email them to myself.
I'd like to meet:
You do things. You are creative. You like going out. Maybe more than once a week. You are positive, not a Debbie Downer or Negative Nancy. You are the kind of person who causes happiness wherever you go, not the type who causes happiness whenever you go. You do not mind getting actually dirty. You can beat me at Street Fighter. You collect records and know a lot of bands that I've never heard of. Perhaps you even play in one. You are driven by extraordinary desires. You've gotten over saying things are ironic all the time as though the whole world were one big joke that other people don't get. You are post-ironic. You understand that there's nothing to get and approach new things with a friendly attitude and an open mind.
