People who call other people 'cats'; that's awesome. People who think knee-socks are a crucial fashion accessory. People who love music. People who like pinstripes, polka dots, or black and white stripes as much as I do. People who will dance the Death Twist or the Creepy Kitty with me. People who won't take it personally that I've chosen not to eat bits of dead things. People who respect honesty and integrity as mush as I do. People who can disagree with me completely, and still have a stimulating conversation about why. People who aren't afraid to say what they mean. Oompa Loompas (do you know any?) Smurfs. Ghosts. People who love cats. People who like beer- and I mean GOOD beer- not carbonated donkey whizz.
