I aim to misbehave.

People who question, people who read, students, poets, those aiming to misbehave.

I will not friend bands unless your politics fly in the face of everything corporate and mainstream.

Also, I will not friend you if your page is full of half naked pictures of women. Pictures of yourself are fine, but don't assault me with your pinup fetishes. Thanks.
