Art, literature, thunderstorms, faeries, brownies, dryads, All other manner of wee people, extra sauce on my pizza, mustard and vinegar on my fries (or gravy... oh poutine is wondermous!), oversized comfy shirts, gents that open doors for ladies, the smell of rain, ceiling fans and believing in the unbelievable.
I'm looking to connect with old and new friends and make contacts for work. If you're an interesting person and live a creative life, I'd love to meet you.
My interests aren't limited to traditional art, that's just where my own talent takes me. I love the works of art and worlds created by photomanipulators and computer graphic artists.
I've taken quite an interest in music since technology finally caught up with the hearing impaired.
I'd love to meet other writers out there as well! I've got two different novels in progress and sometimes I feel like I don't know how to divide my time between painting, penciling and typing! It'd be great to hear how other writers balance their time, confront the mental blocks, and not want to scream and "delete" every time someone interrupts the sacred "stream of consciousness!" *laughing*
I suppose you could say that I'd love to meet anyone "original". I am not interested in spammers. If you just want to advertise a business unrelated to my work, keep going! I'm not going to advertise beer, porn, or anything else that doesn't mesh with the atmosphere. (So nyah!)
Note to Bands, Singers, etc:
Please do not spam my inbox with constant invites. If I contact you, that's one thing -- if not, then don't ask. I'm interested in people who share my interests and will take time to reply to the occassional "hello" passed their way. It's nothing personal, but I'm interested in making and maintaining friendships, meeting others in my line of work and discussing ideas. Thanks!

Everything from gory horror to sappy historic romantic comedies.
I'm currently obsessed with "Pushing Daisies"! I don't really watch that much television, and what I do tend to watch when I do are the legal documentaries: Cold Case Files, American Justice, The Next 48 Hours, and various court shows. When I'm not watching something like that, it's a complete one-eighty and I'm watching the Comedy Network. I'm a huge fan of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. I'm also a sucker for South Park and more recently was finally convinced to watch the Simpsons.
Anything fantasy related, poetry, and quotes. I read a lot of books on alternative and Eastern religion. I've started reading more on alternative health and of course books related to the arts -- particularly those that have some educational value.
