My Interests

CURRENT MOON moon phases

I'd like to meet:

You! Although I'm not into the phrase "Thanx 4 the Add"! it needs to be eradicated from the MySpace language. I have had many friend requests from MySpace phonies and friend collectors, that I now only accept friend requests from genuine people who send an accompanying message.

I look forward to meeting you!
