Do I look cool yet?

About Me

26 and living in Oakland. I'm a pretty decent person and people seem to enjoy being around me, an LA snob who freezes if it gets below 65 degrees, and a whore for the Simpsons and Ab Fab. Oh, and I really really really like energy drinks.

My Interests

peace theory, psychology, recovery, guitar, friends, affecting positive change, couching inside w/ some tea or red bull, laughing.

I'd like to meet:

Amazing, intelligent, dorky, casual, laid back, low maintenance, politically active/aware and open-minded people. The use of proper grammar is always a plus. I also enjoy those who give good hugs, and who know how to laugh at themselves and the oddities of life. People interested in making music. And of course, other people in recovery
