Cycling (with pedals), aquaria and biotopes, tattoos (104.5 - 107.5 hours and counting), feline behavior, reptiles, electric guitar (not now nor will be in a band), conservation, all manner of art be it modern, pop, classic, or conceptual, piercing (11, doubtful I'll get any new ones), photography, PC & Xbox gaming, and Adobe Premier when I can play with it.
I'd like to meet:
Meet? Fuck if I know. I am broken and pieced back together. I don't really like most humans unless they're served medium rare with a side of tabasco and some collard or turnip greens.
My ex and I remain good friends - talk shit about her and you'll wear your ass as a hat.
As for friends...you must have an intellect of reasonable stature, such that you grasp the concept of "your" vs. "you're" and so forth.
I don't care what you look like nor how different we may be but I do not suffer fools lightly. FWIW my friends list are IRL. As a rule I won't add you if you're under 25 and I don't already know you in person.
Also I now require you to message me something about yourself such as why you'd want me on your list. If I already know you then say so. I'm not snobby but I do have standards.

None of these are necessary to watch; I'm content to catch re-runs.
I won't have cable/DSS - I refuse to pay for advertisements if I have the option. I also absolutely despise the show Friends. There are a plethora of reasons and if you want one, ask me. Come to think of it, I loathe most network programming aside from what I've listed. I'm a picky bastard.
Books:
I adore Vonnegut and have come to appreciate Willa Cather.
The most recent book I've read would be Aquarium Designs: Inspired by Nature by
Peter Hiscock. Yes, I did laugh at his last name for a second.
I also enjoy some Stephen King, a splash of Anne Rice (though I could give two shits less about vampires), Nietzsche, Frank Herbert, and Douglas Adams.
I'm open to suggestion for a good read.
Heroes:
Your average parents
