My Interests

reading, writing, sleeping, eating, dining, music, poetry, traveling, drinking

I'd like to meet:

writers, readers, feminists, hippies, freaks, nerds, people who can make me laugh, people who will sing to me, people who will reenact a scene from a funny show or movie with me, people who "know what I mean when I say nothing", and, of course, people who will actually talk to me and be my friend instead of just adding me because they want an extra friend on their friends list to make themselves feel special. If you are one of those people, then I hate you.
