IF YOU STEAL MY PHOTOS I WILL FIND YOU AND HURT YOU
Who I'd like to meet: droll folks, grammarians, travelers, knitters, recommenders of good books, picture takers, thinkers, anyone who will sit in silence and read with me, interesting conversationalists/ storytellers, good drivers, subscribers to dictionary.com's Word of the Day emails, a best friend.
old friends/acquaintances and new friends with similar interests. please don't add me if you don't intend to communicate occasionally.
Yo brooke (does that make it seem less impersonal?)
Feel free to delete this comment if you're in a band that's gigging in Norwich somewhere else on this date, or if you hate any of the bands playing this gig, or hate me, haha, or don't like people advertising their gigs on your comments. :o)
Can’t complain, just being all normal and what not. I thought that Goldfrapp song on your play list was Hooverphonic, nice song. Does this analytic fellow leaving all these messages know that you’re engaged? You’re engaged? Congratulations!
