Writing, reading, and swedish engineering. Swimming at night, etymology. Sitting in the park rooting for teams I do not have any alligiences for what so ever. Hating teams like duke and carolina, for no explicable reason except some kind of messed up pride. Crosswords. ghost stories, camping, flashlight fun, festivals where I become mysteriously stoned, songs of myself, bromelia, catepillars, salsa, merengue, all forms of dancing, prancing, and glancing. Hotels, wake-boarding, legends, little fuzzy animals, living room eighties parties, hullucinigenics, ego-tripping, bike riding, gerands, watching birds as they fly in formation. Cheese, wine, coffee, beer, chocolate, bonobos, bugs, kneeboarding, old things, urban exploring, cartoons, and of course, the keyword of the year,
I'd like to meet:
aerobes who take responsibility for their actions. little tiny bubbles. someone with an indoor pool and the patience to ride up on an hour ski lift, only to ski down through out the day, ice skaters, and loquacious gentlemen who open doors and ask me questions concerning life the universe and everything. People who love cheese and calculus.
folks who do not hold it against me that I keep them up, late at night with the expectation of chattering on about nothing and everything as time flies into the past. inventors and those committed to a shift in reality. Swedes.
friends.
Music:
Everybody hates my music- there I've said it. Talking heads are my favorite.
Revel, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Ween, The Supremes, Dolly Parton, the list goes on and on. Think music, wall of sound, classical, and distinctly composed with general tendancies towards curious vocals and poetic lyrics.
