Reading, writing, good movies, being outside if it's raining, foggy, overcast (persistent migraines have insured that I'll never live anywhere with a lot of sunshine), Warhammer 40k, good live music acts, good music, good food (Thai, Italian, Greek), decent bars,
good coffee, hanging with friends.
I'd like to meet:
Numerous people.
Also, I randomly change the top 8 of my friends list (Except for my wife which will always hold the ..1 spot). Such changes are totally random including the decision process. I may choose all women, celebrities, people who have interesting profile pictures. Your movement to and from my top 8 has nothing to do with personal friendship. i.e. removal from the top 8 doesn't mean I'm mad at you or don't want to be your friend. No outside sources have any influence as to time, frequency, or friends changed. But then, outside influences haven't arrived in unmarked, legal U.S. currency of small denominations (but large piles).
"You are not entitled to your opinion, you are entitled to your informed opinion. If you are not informed on the subject, then your opinion counts for nothing." - Harlan Ellison
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Also, if you want me to add you as a friend, send me a message. Let me know how I know you or why I would want to know you. If there's a similarity of interests that's cool. No message-no addy. The fact you're an up and coming band and sound like ______ is not enough reason for me to add you. Also I'm married, I'm happy for you having a webcam that allows you to charge people to see your breasts. I get that from my wife for free. Go elsewhere.
