Actually, I have enough friends, thank you. I'm just here to hang out with people I already know or with whom I have stuff in common. Don't be offended if I don't add you...but I need to see the bulletins from my actual friends -- sorry!People I already know and love are in this parade: And I loved the GSU!! Dancing Twileks and Imperial Officers!
Pretty much everything: I'm still into exploring new music from almost all genres. If it's not top-40 pap, right-wing country, or gangsta rap, I'll probably be into it. Someday I'll make a list -- but it'll be loooooong!
