Sociology [masculinity, queerness, sex, power, drugs, discourse], cutting stuff, making a fool of myself at nightclubs, cane-dancing, cooking, ties, fabrics, colors, feels, growing things, ink, bending, things I can't understand, netflix, junk food, or junk in general...and things & stuff..... width="425" height="350" ...........
I'd like to meet:
I want to meet people who want to meet me, I suppose. I prefer folks without shame. Pain managers are fine specimens. I fancy smart, prolific kids. Peeps who are chemically enhanced, but not dependent. Agents of mischief, pretty posses, conscious poseurs, famously contoured creations, sassafrasses, queasy smilers, crooked winkers, fine diners, constrained whiners, star aligners, the boldly pretentious, the backwards, fellow bionics, the scarred. People with sensitive ears, and therefore, sensitive senses…Overall, I want to meet fancy people!Oh, and Christian Bale, Javier Bardem and Clive Owen so we can resume our platonic orgy.....
Music:
From some of these people I might just like the one song, or not even own an album, but they mean something, you know? So if you hate them, it makes no difference really...
