Drawin', paintin', computerin', designin', listenin', spinnin', buildin', readin', writin', drivin', shootin', drinkin'... thinking about giving up sleep. I cultivate a scholar's interest in the most bizarre and outrageous stuff this silly world has to offer, from mythology and supernatural phenomena to News of the Weird and its endless parade of 'human' follies. Anybody who thinks we don't live in a fantasy world should open their eyes. You can't make this stuff up. (I seem to have become a regular reader of Fark.com, as well.)
I'd like to meet:
You, at these upcoming events. :)
Note: I'm fairly liberal and open with my friend list. 'Numbers Whores', however, may be arbitrarily ignored. It's my page, and I'll delete if I want to. Also, please, limit the size of any graphics you put in my comment list . Oversized ones may will be deleted. Thank you!
CONCERNING FRIEND REQUESTS: I have been swamped with requests from camwhore clones, to the point where any halfway normal-looking, attractive female picture gets automatically marked as spam. If you're NOT a camwhore, and really want to be my friend for some reason, send me a message telling me you're a real person. :P Thanks!
If you suddenly find yourself no longer on my Top Friends List, please, don't be offended. I don't love you any less. I'm just using the space to plug some people/bands/organizations/events.
