Surrounding myself with worthwhile individuals, stimulating conversation, 50 cent words, old concert tees, "family" dinners, board games, spelling womyn with a "y", crossword puzzles, fashion faux pas, ROCK N ROLL, witty banter, staring shamelessly, talkin' trash, lewd comments, over-accessorizing, impromptu danse parties, tom foolery, passive aggressivity, studying popular culture, Phoenix Public Library, sewing stuff to other stuff, losing one earring, frenching, old bicycles, reinventing myself as a clarinetist, guitar hero II, trying to play the harmonica, Denmark, etc.
I'd like to meet:
Worthwhile conversationalists, people who are intelligent AND interesting, pop culture aficionados, music junkies, nerds, people who like to hang out at places other than bars, a harmonica teacher, someone who prefers phone calls to text messages, people who aren't wasting their 20s treading water in a sea of gossip and booze.
