I'd like to meet:
Anyone who's ever been called "boring" or "no fun" for staying home on a Saturday...because you knew if you went out you would never write that song, paint that canvas, pen that novel, or whatever. And then after that song was written or that canvas was painted, you went out and drank yourself silly on tequila and danced to the Cure on the beach at 3 AM. Fellow creative souls who eat, sleep, and breathe whatever it is they are giving back to the world. Or maybe just fellow bipolar types who are as unpredictable and intolerable as I am, so when you complain about how crazy I'm acting, I can call you a hypocrite.No Sagittarian drummers, please.
