I'd like to meet:


People who only type words in my Comments section instead of pictures and graphics and videos. Please, I'm sure the thing you found online is very funny/cool, but I want to keep my profile simple and easy to look at. Those things stretch it out so that you have to use a scroller bar thing to see it all. It's just not what I'm into, 'kay? Nnnthanks.
