Myspace Layouts
Not really into meeting famous people unless they are writers I like. If it's not good friends or relatives, it would be people who educate, enlighten or entertain me, maybe give me ideas for new stories. I enjoy meeting other writers and creative minds. My mind becomes bored easily if I'm not constantly learning new things.
