I'd like to meet:

Authors, artists, musicians, queer radicals...in other words creative people, as well as people who appreciate things like Dada and Surrealism, filmmakers like Fellini, and bands such as the VU and The Stooges, and people with open minds and open hearts. I would also love to meet anyone still alive whose name or whose band I have referenced in any of the other categories here, such as Bowie, Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Henry Rollins, Kim Gordon, Nan Goldin, PJ Harvey, John Cameron Mitchell, John Waters, Paul Rusesabagina, Aung Sang Suu Kyi,etc.

You Should Travel to India
You're a passionate, gusty traveler - and India's gritty urban centers won't scare you away.

I took the " "if you were an artist" quiz on gURL.com
I would be a...DaDaist
Does your sense of humor sometimes leave people scratching their heads? Do you tend to wander off the beaten path? If so, it seems like you could be a Dadaist. Dada was a popular art movement during the late 1910s that rejected traditional forms of art. Read more ...

what kind of artist would you be?

You Are Expressionism
Moody, emotional, and even a bit angsty... you certainly know how to express your emotions.
At times, you tend to lack perspective on your life, probably as a result of looking inward too much.
This introspection does give you a flair for the dramatic. And it's even maybe made you cultivate some artistic talents!
You have a true artist's temperament... which is a blessing and a curse. What Art Movement Are You?

You scored as Throbbing Gristle. Throbbing Gristle are probably one of the most notorious and controversial bands of all time. Their proto-industrial music is self-consciously confrontational and alienating whilst their lyrics often deal with disturbing subject matter. Their best album is probably 1979â€,,s deceptively-named â€,,20 Jazz Funk Greatsâ€,,.

The Teardrop Explodes

Wire

The Slits
