Someone who wants to sit on a tall hill (not too tall) and enjoy the cool grass (not too cool). Someone who would get stoned and listen to Godspeed You! Black Emperor records with me but also laugh at me for wanting to spend an entire evening in such a fashion. Someone who will talk about "Blood Embrace" by Oldham/Sweeney and how FUCKING AWESOME the 'Rolling Thunder' sample sounds. Also, I'd really like to meet Peter Falk, Samantha Power, Kris Kristofferson and Isabella Rosselini.
