I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet new friends. People who knit. People who like horror movies. People who I can drink martinis with. People who like to cook and chill out with a bottle of wine. People who are alive, and not just in that "I breathe, therefore I am" kind of way. People who are smart but not completely self absorbed. People who like cats. Indie rockers. People who laugh. People who know the secrets of the universe.
It's only you, who can tell me apart
And it's only you, who can turn my wooden heart
if you try to add me, please send me a note saying why, otherwise i won't approve your request. I WILL NOT ADD RANDOM BANDS WHO ADD ME. Stop it already. PS: gross metal guys, please stop hitting on me. really.
