I'd like to meet:
Mike Westfall is a writer, web editor and semi-professional stuff enthusiast. He has black belts in hugging, getting vented at, remembering your birthday, and Super Mario Bros. His girlfriend thinks he's a total nerd. She is probably not wrong.
Probably.

Honestly, I'm kind of tired of meeting random people I don't know who won't ever talk to me again on here. So I'm really only looking to stay in touch with people I already know, and the occasional band I like. And maybe some old friends that I haven't seen in a hundred million years since we rode the dinosaur to school together. That'd be nice.
Oops wait was I supposed to post a photo of my girlfriend and go I ALREADY MET HER!!11
And hey, how's about sending me a message or something before you add me?
The only reason I'm not naming a bunch of famous people is because I don't think my conversation with them would be longer than
"Hi I like your books and/or movies :) "
"Thanks."
" :) "
"..."
" :) "
Music:
Mostly rock and power pop, but I'm going to feed you the "I'm pretty tolerant and will listen to almost anything" line, and you're going to like it. My work in music retail ages ago has conditioned me to be able to like just about anything, so as long as the singer stays .. and doesn't scream too much.
