I'm starting to think I only want to talk to people I know in real life on My Space, if I spend time on MySpace at all.
That said, I'm usually up for finding new partners in crime. Thrifting buddies. Trivia demons. Bad ass gal pals who can artfully misspell dirty words when we get the top score playing naughty Photo Hunt in old man bars. People who can teach me a thing or two. Folks that can talk about porn parodies of the Gong Show, Lancelot Link and the good block/bad block syndrome in Philly in one conversation. Badasses who wear eye patches. Good cooks. Exercise partners. Photo explorers. World travelers.
