About me:
What about me?Who I'd like to meet:
People with similar interests. I'm a stage rat, so people involved in theatre would be great. Also folks that are into old movies are always cool. Writers, particularly funny ones are welcome. I'm a pinko/old school Canadian socialist, and I'm not looking to be converted. I like Smart People, they're always welcome.Friend Space (Top 29)
