I'd like to meet:

I like the night time. I like wandering round in it, taking photos of things in it, dancing at clubs in it. I like artificial lights and electronic beats. And hotbeds of postindustrial glitz. I got that out of a guidebook. Sounds good doesnt it? ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .................................. I like stying up late listening to electro and minimal techno mixes, trawling myspace and laughing at posers in silly outfits, then justifying posting photos of my hair on it by saying its a social experiment and blabbering on about Dada and situationism................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................... I love football, singing and chanting in dingy pubs, fanzines, borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered 70s, flares, home made banners, standing on terraces feeling time melt away........................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ................................ I like going to clubs and getting the bus home through ghostly dark streets. I like being an urban flaneuse, I like psychogeography, derives, disorientating myself and rediscovering my surroundings. I love street art and graffiti and stencils and subvertising and appreciating what people are doing to make our city more interesting and beautiful, and going on expeditions in the darkness armed with cardboard, craft knife and spraypaint.................................................. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............ I like making mixtapes, thinking up really good T-shirt designs but never actually making them, being a geek at club nights and tune-spotting to people who really dont care. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ................................I like action, protest, and anger at injustice and control. ............................................................ ............................................................ .................................................. .I dont like big cars, xenophobia, meat and dairy production, "charity", soulless corporate spaces, do-gooder christians, "crazy" students, new age hippy bullshit, people with those annoying middle class southern accents who say their vowels all weird, and Liverpool FC.
