I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I say things like "any-hoodle", and "ta taa", and "Word." I am very outgoing, and shiny happy people; but I get sad easily and am very sensitive, with myself, and to others... sometimes that sucks. I like to close the bag tightly with my french fries in it so they get soggy. That's all you need to know.

The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily. What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

LA thing?

So I don't know what it is about the people out here. But just when I thought I was used to it, I realize I am not. What is with LA people being so goddamn flaky? "We'll hang out" really means "I'm ju...
