I'd like to meet:
Friends, people to hang out with, people I can converse with and learn from. I've begun to dabble in tatting, knitting, and sewing, and I would especially love to have some people to be crafty with. Other Asian/horror movie fans would be a plus as well. I'm a super science and medical geek, especially the more unusual or macabe areas, and would love to meet others of my ilk to share knowledge and resources. I am always down with having my mind blown by a twisted artist I'd never heard of or a whole new direction in thought I had yet to find. I enjoy it when I find new music to fall in love with. Revel in oddness, teach me, and explore along with me.
Also- Doc Hammer, Jackson Publick, Takashe Miike, Penn Gillette, Teller, Weird Al Yankovich, Tim Henson, Jon Stewart, Adam Sessler... plenty more whom I am forgetting at the moment.
