I am here for Friends and Networking

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Musicians, metalheads, photographers, writers or anyone genuinely interesting.

I love my boyfriend with all my heart, so I'm not interested in what you have to offer unless it's friendship.

Note to bands: I've recently come to the conclusion that most bands on Myspace are awful, and I'm tired of bands trying to add me solely for networking purposes. Unless you are listed under my music or you personally know me, there's a very good chance I won't add you (unless you happen to impress the fuck out of me). I don't need anymore "friends" who don't bother to even talk to me.
