Reading (boring alert), Writing (second alarm), playing guitar or anything else I can get my hands on, taking pictures, making movies, watching movies(not typical hollywood B.S.), instigating battles of the intellect between good friends, getting high, drawing, staring at pretty things, making uncomfortable situations likable, human culture, art in general, defaming the character of religious icons, cursing, giving compliments. Also check the About Me section for more about me.
Passionate people, those who feel too intensely to hide it. Individuals that view the world differently, and that can open my eyes to new aspects of myself or my surroundings. People that are too busy living and creating to be concerned with trivialities. People who have survived incredible suffering and can smile. Someone who can tell a joke.
