General
 
Writing, Making web sites, Terrible puns, Baseball — Phillies and Rays, Rocking out in the car, Waterslides, Nintendo, Jumping in puddles, Waxing nostalgic, Drawing, Stand-up comedy (watching it, I mean... I'm not that funny.)
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 in tune and doesn't scream too much.

Green Day, Butch Walker/the Marvelous 3, the Mr. T Experience/Dr. Frank, They Might Be Giants, the Aquabats, the Beach Boys and the Beatles just like everybody else with properly working ears, Ben Folds plus or minus Five, Billy Joel, the Bouncing Souls, Copperpot, Eastmountainsouth, Elvis Costello, the Ergs, Foo Fighters, Frenzal Rhomb, Inspection 12, Jimmy Eat World, Live, the Living End, Mae, MxPx, the NESkimos, the Network, Pinhead Gunpowder, Punch Drunk, Queen, Reel Big Fish, Relient K, the Rocket Summer, Second Saturday, Shades Apart, Sister Hazel, SR-71, Stephen Kellogg, Steve Burns, the Tattle Tales, the Unlovables, Weezer, Weird Al Yankovic

I don't feel like thinking of any more. Music is not my life.

Who I'd like to meet:
 

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."
" :) "
"..."
" :) "

Within the next two weeks, I hope. We're living in a hotel right now, which sucks ass. The second I can, I'm registering; I am soooo not doing the whole "absentee ballot" thing cuz I actually want them to count my vote, not that they ever did in Jersey lol.

You can't fool me - you only sent me a message to bait me into stalking your page and seeing that YOU GOT ENGAGED!!!! HOLY SHIT I didn't even know you two were together! This is how far out of multiple loops I am.
Congrats to you and the future-Mrs!!!

I watched your Rays lose on Saturday night, 3-0. I had no idea what was going on, as I pay almost no attention to American League baseball.
