mikeian Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 wait, you used "favourite" and "favorite" um... my fav bands change every so often but usually what comes to mind are brand new and the receiving end of sirens. my fav place to vacation to visit family is colorado and just to go i'd say nyc or hawaii, but north shore seems a little too laid back for me. i do programming, blah. as for significant other, you can refer to the vc dateless losers club ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ky Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 yeah living in england my languages have been getting really screwed up lately. i moved here in january to "get away from it all" and came to live with relatives here. i've been saying weird shit lately too. for example: I would normally say "it is 4:30 in the afternoon" but now i say "it's half-four". it's fucking bizarre.

silentgods Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I run a shipping and receiving department for one of the countrys largest natural gas producers. I have no girlfriend, it'd be super nice though. i listen to either really extreme music like slayer, cathedral, candlemass, Sunn O))), pig destroyer, Neurosis. or really soft mellow music like, explosions in the sky, russian circles, early tom waits, brian eno, godspeed you black emperor. favorite vacation spot is Germany, and the U.P. in Michigan. i'm weird, i'd rather go on vacation in the forest or where its cold. i also like zombie movies and have written a series of novels about a zombie apocalypse with parallels to all three parts of Dante's Divine Comedy. but with zombies.

drabley Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I was born in Toronto and lived there most of my life. I met my wife online accidentally in 1999 before ematchharmony.com existed. It is a very long story. We married in 2003. I lived in New Orleans for 3 years. We left the June after Katrina once my wife graduated Law School. We lost everything we owned save the clothes on our backs, our dog, my car, and a few things that were salvagable. I did not complete my university degree. I was a computer science major. Now I work for an insurnace company. My favorite band, currently, is Loma Prieta. Of all time would be Shotmaker. My favorite place I've ever been is the Amalfi Coast of Italy. Positano is breathtaking. Sorrento was gorgeous. I also am in love with Puerto Rico, Ponce particularly. My wife is Puerto Rican, so I'm fortunate to be able to go there quite frequently. New Orleans is my favorite American city. My dream is to retire in Positano. I would do very little but be one with my surroundings. I'd learn a language by living that language. I would grow lemon trees on my little cliffside home and make Limoncello for the tourists and Grappa for myself. I'd own a small boat and catch most of the food we ate. I'd never be without a glass of wine and a smile. Life would be as inviting as a southern woman's open arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I live in North Florida. (one of the worst places ever) I work as a Media Buyer/Planner in an Advertising Agency Significant other - i have been dating the same chick for like 7-8 years so an engagement is probably in my near future I dont go on vacations enough to have a favorite place but i would say Portland, OR was the funniest place i have gone so far. San Diego was probably #2 but the locals seemed like cocks Currently i have been listening to a lot more pop punk bands than anything else... Steinways are my favorite, and other notable mentions would be: Dopamines, Connie Dungs, The Ergs, off with their heads and screeching weasel. I also LOVE 90s skate punk (NOFX, Blount, Strung out, Adhesive, Satanic Surfers, Oversight...) I have a dog that looks like this. Her name is Stella and is a Pitbull/Boxer mix i rescued from the Humane Society almost 5 years ago. Other facts: I hate kids more than anyone else i also hate cats I drink like 10 cups of coffee a day and i am a decent bowler that's it.

I despise children of all ages. Cats are the most useless things on the planet. I have at least 6 cups before noon. I bowl 180 - 200. Decent by most standards. I'll be in Jax this weekend, actually, but our schedule is pretty booked. Otherwise, I'd suggest we share some of our mutual dislikes over a pint or six. Also -- I have 2 dachschunds. Both are rescue dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cleaning, not manufacturing. Stanley Steemer. Super lame, but I make a decent salary and was able to buy a house last year. Sorry to hear about your dad, hope that new store works out well for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
