Arson, thievery, piracy ,excessive booze consumption, jaywalking, public intoxication, firearms, tax evasion, that sorta thing.
Drinking good antifreeze, software development, Noreaga. Hanging out in dive bars with my friends, bearded dragons chuckwallas and iguanas (A few of my girlfriends already called dibs on being the crazy cat ladies; I call dibs on being the Iguana Hag.), Floyd Rose bridges, drop D, shit stores in Fordham and Kingsbridge, icebreakers, waking up my neighbors with bad Slovenian hardcore, AGS programming & other authoring languages, stealing federal property internet.
F.S.U. Local 718
People who I already know or met at previous shows/nights out/trips. And ran into when severely drunk at shows and other shindigs then suddenly remember these enlightening conversations and bottle smashing sprees about a year later. (Especially if you witnessed and/or participated in the infamous "chicken incident" that took place at the Plaza in Yonkers in 2006. OH GOD YES.) Other worldly bitches like me who need/offer crashpads and travel whenever possible. Other guitar snots who can rant for hours about action and playability while other people look completely clueless. My fellow skins, byrds, punks, psychos...we're all out there. My fellow programmers, AGS-ites, and IT nerds always welcome too...I kinda miss my programming days in a sense.
No, I don't care to hear about your crappy band or solo artistship.
Girls who go to shows for the guys and not the bands: fuck off and die. Stop making the girls who actually care look bad.
Mindless attention whores who need clothes and self-respect need not apply.
Nor do fencewalkers, skingirls by injection (cock is great but that is NOT where our strength and pride rely), and if 14/88 is written anywhere on your profile seriously (aside from just making the reference like right here), don't fucking talk to me. Stop disgracing and mutilating this culture and go embrace the correct one of growing a mullet, losing half your teeth, and running around your auto part-scattered lawn in NASCAR gear ranting about how white American society has degraded so much. I'm not a SHARP but that shit makes me fucking sick.

PIGEONS WOULD BE THUGSOtherwise I'm only into older movies/stuff you've never heard of/bad B-movies/stuff with a fucked up sense of humor.
Sitcom world, refuse to see... though I'm a sucker for Sex and the City, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy, anything with a twisted sense of humor like pretty much most of Adult Swim.
Too Many To List
Many and don't give me that bullshit that you're too hardcore/too punk rock to have heroes. We all have them in some shape or form or end up being heroes to the people we least suspect.
Al of Hate. For having faith in me when no one else did; both as a person, an upstanding part of New York Hardcore, and as a musician. Maybe I won't do as good of a job as he did...but I've got to fucking try.
My sister, for truly being my working class hero since I can't say that about my parents.
