Mischief, tomfoolery, waywardness, your everyday shenanigans ;-P lots of pranks-my motto: the more craziness the better.
"Being cool is mostly ridiculous, but so is sugar cereal, that's why we like it." -Chuck Klosterman
I'd like to meet:
Such an interesting question?umm right off the top of my head anyone who knows the hilarity that ensues from being both Croatian and gay. Oh, and someone that has a reasonable understanding of feminist queer theory. If you want bonus points the intersections of multiple identities, masculinities, or just regular useless popular culture.
