Puns, malt liquor margaritas, printing, mix-taping, collecting things, thrifting, board games (especially word games), food that comes in buckets and/or on sticks, baking, swimming, bowling, $5 shows, the word "taco", the Chippettes, late 70's-early 80's gang movies (preferably with dancing), Fred from "Valley Girl", neon signs, dive bars, people with uneccessarily vast knowledge of almost anything.....
I'd like to meet:
People who call you back. People who show up. People who make plans and people who call you in the middle of the night for an adventure. Someone who will go to demolition derbies with me, and go bowling in the afternoons. People who understand the value of a grammatically correct phrase. Hot boys who can fix my car. Someone who can beat me at Boggle. And anyone who will try.
Please don't friend me if we've never met or have no mutual friends. Thanks.
