I'd like to meet:
Kurt Cobain, Anthony Michael Hall, and you.
I've had Myspace for almost three years now. Three years after the fact, I'm now making it possible to search for me by my given name. The reason for the change is that I've been nostalgic recently and looking up old friends. The trouble being is that I can't find a few and I guess I'm giving them a chance to find me. I have a feeling that this is a really REALLY bad idea on my part because, let's face it, I quit talking to some of you for a reason. *ahem* That said, I'll ignore the feeling...for now.
It was a really REALLY bad idea...
• People who are all about themselves. I have no intention of joining your one member fan club, so move along.
• People that ask me some really stupid and obvious questions...especially if I’ve already answered. I really hate repeating myself. Read before you ask questions, and when you ask questions pay attention.
• Guys who think it's ok to call me "honey", "babe", "baby", "sweetheart", "doll", or anything of that nature. Don’t do that unless you know me. It bugs me. I have a name. If you want it, ask.
• People who would add me just to look popular. It's people like you that make me more likely to add bands than actual people. Don’t waste my time or yours feigning interest in adding me if you are only trying to boost your numbers. You either have a good reason to add me, or you don’t. I assure you, I won’t be crying myself to sleep if you choose not to.
• People who don’t plan on posting past "Thanks for the add". Lack of communication = your deletion. Don’t bore me. Have something to say.
SPECIAL NOTE TO BANDS:
Ok, I'm just on this side of blocking bands from adding me. I would have to log into Myspace on a daily basis to keep up with the add requests and, frankly, even if I had the time I'm just not that interested. Don't get all butt hurt if your request is denied. There's a 99% chance it will happen. Nothing personal, I would just prefer to find bands on my own. Or it is personal and I thought your band sucked. Either way, you'll get over it.
SPECIAL NOTE TO CHRISTIAN BANDS:
If you send me an add request and I deny it, there is definitely nothing personal. I really admire and support what you do. The dismissal is only because your style isn't my taste.

There are too many books to get into but I’m big into crime and mystery fiction, true crime/forensic books, suspenseful books and thrillers, anything twisted or in the realm of horror, books that challenge you and make you think, and biographies on whomever I find interesting. Oh, and, I think Poe is a genius.
