I am here for Friends

About Me

Kicky, kooky, krackers, I have a loud and distinctive laugh, I make risotto from scratch, I once worked selling meat over the phone, I have been chased down the street by a man with a cake and bad aim, I'm learning a wide range of useless skills which make me interesting at a cocktail party but only able to perform the most obtuse of tasks in day to day life, More than one friend has told me I am always 'put together', I compulsively visit London but Toronto is my boyfriend on the side, I am not a licensed therapist - but I portray one on the phone with friends on a weekly basis, I sing some mean karaoke, Whoever wants to sleep on my sofa is free to do so - as long as you tidy up after yourself, I know everybody, I come in peace.

My Interests

More people should read my music blog. Treat yourself by doing it now:http://toooldtorock.blogspot.com/

I'd like to meet:

Lets be frank, I hate MySpace.I am only interested in being friended by a few different types of people:1 - Someone I already know2 - Someone in Servas3 - Someone who is already terribly interesting and has something to offer me in the way of intellectual stimulation (and then you'd send me mail because we don't know each other, get it?4 - Bands I am a fan of or former members of bands I like with new projects. Old punk rock celebrities.5 - Same as number 4 but with artists and authors.6 - Record labels.I hate getting email from strangers hassling me to listen to their band. If I don't know about you, this is the surest way to make me hate you before we have even met. If I don't already know you in some way, please go away.The same applies to mysterious 'internet sex people'. Oversexed strangers of all kinds do me a favor and get off your computer and into a therapists office. That is the place for people with borderline personality disorder, not here hassling me. To be blunt: piss off.
