Who I'd like to meet: i like regular people...but being around poets, artists, musicians, singers, and actors is especially groovy. i like having interesting people to add to my collection. no arrogance, no smugness, and as little politics as possible.
(oh, and i really like people who venture beyond the new releases in video stores.)
Happy happy birthday! You should drink too much green beer and make an ass of yourself and then be like, What? It's my birthday, jerkoff. That's what I plan on doing, and it's not even my birthday.
<---This person would never hurt you <---This person is a true friend <---This person has your back <---this person is alwayz there for u
I want you to know that you are amazing, and I appreciate your friendship greatly. If I don't get this back, I understand. But I have a game for you. Once you read this letter, you must send it to 15 people that you really care about, including the person that sent it to you. If you receive at least 7 back, then you are loved
