Much in the way of music; singing, screaming and crooning, movies, comics, computers and various forms of geekery, everything Twin Peaks, photography, philosophy, web design and graphics, climate controlled personal space bubbles with built in speakers and anti-bug technology, demons and ghouls and vampires and zombies; pretty much anything dead or resembling it closely, bad horror movies, babies on spikes and other bloody, gory, sordid nonsense, anything off color and far from politically correct, vintage clothes cause they don't make 'em like they used to, Bloody Mary's and breakfast food, people who stay up all night for no good reason, 24 hour everything, conversation and coffee, sharp and pointy objects, platform shoes and short skirts, extreme croquet, striped knee socks, caffeine, nicotine, adult beverages, Nina Simone and blackberry merlot, smoking indoors, bookstores, crafting, camping, knitting, smuggling small children out of the country and selling them on the black market, poker, darts, thrifting, live shows, incessant swearing, running with scissors and generally enjoying the company of people who can sit around anywhere and have a good time because it's what they're there to do. Oh yes, and monkeys. Of course monkeys.
The Muppets. Animal in particular. He's so dreamy.
People who will laugh at me when I fall. Point and laugh. Truly. It's a much more cathartic experience that way.
People who understand and appreciate the beauty of sarcasm without using it to be a douchebag.
People who are not offended by "babies on spikes"...or anything else for that matter.
Mellow, drama-free, non-pretentious people cause I'm too old for your petty bullshit and while I'm far too lazy to dismember you entirely, I may just stick a spork in your eye. Consider yourself warned.
