I'd like to meet:
Blake Schwarzenbach, Henry Rollins, Lewis Black, someone who's had a run-in with a candiru. And just about anyone who is a music addict like me, and won't be an asshole. And the dickhead who stole my leather jacket, so I can beat him with a crowbar.Basically, anyone who doesn't really suck.If you get bored and want to talk to me, IM: SocialDistortAY
