I want to meet someone who is made of plastic, metal, and glass, has nylon hair, and has nerves made of fiber optics. And I also want to meet a unicorn. and some octogenarians. Seriously though, I want to meet more people that like comics, video games, wierd music, wierd movies, etc. No vacant hipsters. I want to meet people who actually have something to say and are inspiring to be around.
