I love music, film, dancing, drinking, cooking, art, politics, computers, gaming, having no-bullshit conversations that last until that evil ball of fire rises in the east, meeting new and interesting people, and experiencing new adventures to check off of my list. And how could I forget Guitar Hero!!!
I'd like to meet:
I want to meet people who are out to have a good time and are open to other cultures and value systems. I need to meet people who listen to waaay too much music and spend more time at live shows than they do watching TV. I'd like to meet people who don't give a shit about what other people think about them...but don't regularly make an ass out of themselves despite it. Mostly, I want to meet people I can travel with across the globe.
