I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

see that train, the midnight train runs both waysREAD THIS GAWD DEMMIT!: I will not be friends with your band unless you ask me to listen to them before requesting a "friend add"!!!!!!! I may like your band but if you don't tell me why you found me or at least nicely ask me to listen then fuck off! You may be really talented but I won't be your "friend" for that! TALK TO ME DAMMIT!!! also, I may add you because I like your music, but as of now I will not approve comments advertising your new track/album/show date unless I personally know you. This does not include any internet-only "know you"s. I'm not a damn billboard.I'm tall. I'm a geek. I'm thin. I love music, I love books, I love movies, I love computers. I'm a big fan of disorder and chaos. I read books obsessively. I like to go out and dance, but I'm not too good at dancing -with- someone. Breakbeats, punk rock, and hardcore do special things inside my head.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer. Things fall apart. The center cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. The blood-dimmed time is loosed and everywhere, the ceremony of innocence is drowned. The best lack conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.

My Interests

I like bars and other people who like bars. I like computers, have(had) a career in computers, play with computers, etc. etc. DnB owns.

I'd like to meet:

a gangsta bitch. strapped but loveable, hateful but huggable. always in trouble but definitely.... well you know the rest. word life.
if you don't fit that bill and you're someone that goes to shows in Pittsburgh, TELL ME ABOUT SHOWS AND MAKE ME GO! I don't see enough bands perform live music anymore.

Not you if you can't keep your profile legible. Those of you I've never met aside from across the internet: I don't mind at all if you want to add me as a friend, but it would be nice if you wrote a message telling me what it was that made you decide to send a friend request. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but why bother requesting to be my 'net friend (or my friend in general, for that matter) if we're never going to exchange any words?
