Going to coffeehouses, late night diner visits, concerts, taking pictures of inanimate objects that please me, photography, acting, driving late at night with a good mix, being a radio DJ, improvising, cuddles, dropping it like its hot, getting rained on, discussing literature, flirting with waiters and europeans, napping, the hilarious outcomes of phrases lost in translation...
I'd like to meet:
Someone who can observe my glee for Cereality and not consider it absurd. The man who can make "Between The Bars" by Elliott Smith and "I'd Rather Dance With You" by Kings of Convenience a simultaneous reality. A literary 6'4"+, broad-shouldered chiropractor/carpenter with an affinity for mockumentaries and cooking. People with excellent stories about adventures and misadventures along the way to wherever.
I'd pretty much have John Cusack's babies.

I miss the now defunct Brendan Leonard Show. I watch Adult Swim (especially Home Movies) and Noggin (especially Degrassi: The Next Generation). I secretly love Sex and the City.
I like american TV dubbed into German, and I'm a whore for youtube.
