Goth-industrial-darkwave-fetish clubbing. Airplanes and aviation. Politics - local, national and international, and especially liberal. Latex clothing - wearing it and seeing it on other people. The Wave-Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany (see you there: AmericansInLeipzig ). Macs - all Apple since 1987! New York City - especially Soho (my neighborhood) and the Village. Traveling around the corner or across the Atlantic - I have the perfect traveling companion. History - particularly Cold War-era. City life. Camping and hiking. I subscribe to the power of science and am disturbed by the Republican culture of anti-knowledge. Languages: German and French. And I'm also interested in proper grammar and punctuation. Thank you.
I'd like to meet:
Rock stars, porn stars, astronauts and the Wright Bros. Rubber girls, rubber boys and rubber dolls. Characters from outer space, characters from anime comics, and characters from that dream I had the other night. FDR, Churchill, and Hitler - all in one room. Jean-Paul Sartre, Nietzsche, and Antoine de Saint-Exupery. And Nicole Mitchell from the Weather Channel.
BY THE WAY: I pretty much only add people I know in real life to my friends list. You're welcome to send a request, but please don't take it personally if I don't accept. Or send me a personal note or something.

...any Michael Moore, Al Franken, Jon Stewart...
...Bill Bryson, Edward Gorey, and Voltaire (Oh My Goth!)...
