For the last few years I've been mostly an indie rock/alt country (and some hip hop thrown in) listener. Lately I've been listening to the blues more. But I want to learn about other kinds of music. Help me out!

Sting. The music that he makes, I don't really listen to it. But the fact that he's still making it- I respect that.
Who I'd like to meet: I already have an mp3 player, so I don't need friends who want me to buy an iPod.
Other than that, I usually appreciate people who are: reliable, interesting, smart, witty, considerate, friendly, honest, good with power tools, introspective, willing to remove spiders from my home
I'd also like to meet people who want to be in my "Ms. Pacman Players of Seattle Group."
Funny story. My friend from work did one of those Elf Yourself things with a picture of who he drunkenly thought was me he'd taken from my profile, and passed it along to about 20 people from work. Thing is, it was totally YOUR face instead. Just thought I'd share. hope you're having a good weekend.
hey Marj. Just thought I would let you know your account might have been compromised. I got a comment from you trying to get me to click on a link for a free Macy's gift card. Just an fyi. Hope you are well. :)
hey, the image in your comment didn't like hotlinking... though I did get a cute frog and an urging to check out some image-hosting services. I'm guessing that's not what you were going for...?
Oh man...Holly's gonna be super jealous you're a part of some weird Scrabble club. That, and yes, the other night was a blast. We'll do again soon, next time complete with Der Herr Der Ringe.
Are you driving to the P&R? I was wondering about carpooling with someone who would possibly be driving by my place of residence. You're the only person I know who lives so close. I'm totally in support of Global Warming, and don't want to put anymore shit in the air :-p call me if you would be willing or know of anyone that can drive me fat arse to the P&R. Coolio
I gots me a job! Yeeeehaawww!! We're both employed and can be sugar mamas! Starbucks hired me, and I'll be working at the Elliot store. Can't wait. I might see you tomorrow, I'm still debating if I'll do the whole ride, or just me ya'll at a pub. Either way, I'll see you. Cheers
Oh I'll tell them alright! I think Aidan needs a headband to match yours, that would be cute. Oh yeah! btw, my birthday is on the 25th, which it a tuesday, and I'm planning on having just a casual dinner with whomever wants to join, but the more the merrier! You're invited! Not sure where, but I'll keep you posted. Have a great day! Cheers
