My Interests

coziness, being silly, hot chocolate, old FPS computer games that rock like the day is long (doom, wolfenstein..etc.), painting, singing to tunes when i know i'm crap, playing intstruments, reading, travel, going to the cinema, loooong walks, snuggling/cuddling/spooning, web design, 'skinning' for various games cos i can't be too much of a geek or anything, sitting in on classes i'm not/was not registered for (old habit, very amusing.. lots to learn out there...), making collages, pretending i'll finish that zine some day, collecting vinyl because it just sounds better (nope, not an elitist vinyl only girl.. to each his own), rummaging through old magazines and cds in used shops, photoshop, parks, deep thoughts, hand-holding, road trips, photography (intermediate amateur of sorts), kink, atari, emulators, computers, and so on.

I'd like to meet:

the truth is, i've met the person i wanted to meet. i couldn't be happier. i am so in love, it hurts :)

i'd like to meet intriguing souls who make hours feel like seconds. i don't really need acquaintances, but wouldn't mind a few more friends.

i'm pleased with what i've got, and who i know.

i don't add bands when i get a friend request, and i don't generally add people i don't know (unless you're a friend of a friend). this rule is broken if you're special. i keep the circle as large as it needs to be but never turn anyone away the first time.
