I'd like to meet:
My soul mate will put up with my quirks: my constantly cold feet, my habit of leaving chew marks in any pen laying around my apartment, my occasional need to be a complete geek, my rampant arachnophobia. They will like dirty americanos and clean socks. They will not say "that's so metal" unless they're being facetious. They will know what the word "facetious" means. They will understand the proper usage of irony.

funky basslines, beep beep boop boop video game shit, power chords, intricate elements, songs about Belgian Expressionists via accordion, gangsta rap and britney spears need not apply.

Television:
my TV gathers dust...but I used to watch a disproportionate amount of x-files.
