I'd like to meet:
tall, skinny brooklyn boys with mismatched clothes who wear glasses. latino boys who don't speak spanish as well as me. pychics, gypsy folk, carnies and mole people. people who speak russian and dance tango. people who get naked at the drop of a hat and stay that way for long periods. flashers. people who don't read newspapers and ones who do. surfers, skateboards and guitar players. guys who want to take me camping, even though i've never been and don't have much desire to go. meat-eaters who aren't afraid of vegetarians; vegetarians who aren't afraid of meat-eaters. guys with a little hair on their chests and a trail to happiness. brunettes and blondes. boys with beautiful cocks and nice teeth. mathematicians and daydreamers; poets and waiters. people who don't think i'm odd and ones who do, but love it. martha wash, natalie cole and gloria estefan's son (yum!). people who can do the splits and follow a good lead.
Music:
mostly female artists, ranging from country to rap (i know those are the two genres that everybody seems to hate). most of what i listen to falls into the r&b/soul (erykah badu, n'dambi, patti labelle, brandy, india.arie, jill scott, floetry, heather headley, vivian green, lalah hathaway, sade, fantasia, en vogue) or pop (pussycat dolls, kylie, madonna, eden's crush, christina aguilera, kelly clarkson) categories, with a bunch of hip-hop (lauryn hill, jean grae, tlc, mala rodriguez, amanda perez, nefertiti, queen latifah, da brat, missy elliott, snp) and a spattering of country (dixie chicks, emmylou harris), folk (tracy chapman, joan armatrading) and rock (kittie, courtney love, melissa etheridge) thrown in.
i'm an avid cd shopper with well over 2,500 cds in my collection.
