I like... hanging out with my AWESOME friends.. buying tacky crap to fill my apartment, decorating and arranging the tacky crap I've bought and talking about the tacky crap with my friends.. I like Bowling and going to dinner and a movie..I love Pep's, Junior Mints, and things with Caramel.Exotica and escapism (tiki tiki) intoxicate me.. (along with the rum based drinks)I like cars, my first car was a 68 chevelle. Some day I will have a 57 Pontiac (or an earlier Pontiac, I just want a freakin Pontiac) though my Chevelle has made me a lover of MUSSCCCLLEE CARRS!!!Music obviously plays a major role in my "interests" ... ART without artfag attitude etc etc.. am I done yet?
People in exotic places with guest bedrooms, or comfortable couches...
People who are just happy being themselves before they slap on a label, who have interests outside of whatever aesthetic they subscribe to. People who would rather have 2 great friends than 200 average ones.. People who aren't afraid to stand up for themselves... People who collect things... People who like to write letters.. People who aren't too cool to do stupid fun stuff like.. like.. going to the planetarium or..... playing nintendo... or... playing charades... or dressing up and going to a swanky hotel to have 'high tea'.. or being an urban archeologist discovering long lost gems like "Trade ur Vac's" tropical themed vacuum store.. (ok, I found that one already.. it's on Kingsway between Clark and Victoria) or.. drinking in the dark in the Waldorf's Twilight Tahitian lounge.. or going to the Mod night and dancing like a freak... or treasure hunting in weird little stores on hastings..or riding bikes around drunk in the dark.. or driving to hunt down old houses you used to live in.. or breaking out into song in public (I do this a lot.. and it always seems to turn out that I'm the only one who knows the second verse to whatever we were singing).. Jazz hands! PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO DANCE!! I dance all the time.. (.. actually I should clarify the dance thing.. raver dance type crap = lame.. jiving, jitterbug, the twist, mashed potato.. = awesome)... optimists! (but not flakes) people who think being a bitch (or asshole if you're a guy) is a waste of energy.. people who are REAL, people who are comfortable enough with their own company.. that they enjoy solitude! people who surround themselves with people who aren't manipulative shits, deep thinkers... I'd like to meet interesting people who have something to say.. nerds.. people with imagination.. fellow nostalgia junkies.. more more more!!

Lessee.. I really like escapism.. so James Michener et al. Mollie Whuppie rulz.. I love Kerouac, Vonnegut, Bukowski I think everyone should read The Alchemist (Coelho)...I also really like Charlotte Bronte (Villette and Jane Eyre in particular) Right now I'm reading Life of Pi (Yann Martel), and a few other things.. Let's just say I read a LOT.
People who are true blue. Who live their lives by the golden rule, and don't fuck over everyone they know. People who have backbone, and don't tolerate bullshit. People with integrity, convictions and who set their sights high. It's a tougher road to travel but the more rewarding, as you will never have to make excuses for the friends that will be there beside you.
