My name is Paul I like

Video games (Borderlands, Fallout, Mass Effect)

Records of all kinds (check my list)

TV (Venture Brothers, Adventure Time, It's Always Sunny)

Books (Favorite authors are Lethem and Vonnegut)

Movies (I can never go wrong with comedies)

I play bass and am teaching myself (albeit slowly) how to design games.

I LOVE different kinds of beer and whiskey.

That is all.

EDIT: I'm not picky I'm just happy someone takes the time to send me a package.

By fly people around the universe, I'm going to assume you mean you sell shrooms. Awesome.

I work in a planetarium, and our theaters are driven by a giant 3D map of the known universe. So, I get to fly people around the universe. Mars? Yeah we can go there. Alpha Centauri to see the new exoplanet? No sweat. HD69830d to see the Kig-Yar homeworld? Can do.

i'm down.

and i love porn.

edit:

ok, really tho, if yer gunna buy me something i love the following.

vintage video games, i own an nes, snes, genesis, atari 2600, and an n64. also a game cube, ps3, xbox 360, and a 3ds.

i don't really expect any of that and i'm hard to shop for in that department because i own pretty much every game i want with few exceptions. (kid icarus, toejam and earl, pitfall, super mario all stars..)

as far as music is concerned i'm mostly interested in various subgenres of rock and roll from the 80s-now.

mostly (but not exclusivly) punk, hardcore, emo (not the floppy haired modern kind), indie rock, alternative, metal.

i prefer vinyl obviously, but i also collect cds and tapes.

i have a want list on my deadformat, but it's just as easy for you to look at what i own and surprise me based on my tastes.

i love a good surprise.

i suppose should also mention i have faggotty obsessions with the following bands.

smashing pumpkins (<~~~ very very very much so with this one, anything i don't have will be mind blowingly amazing)

modest mouse

flaming lips

shudder to think

cursive

I'm in.

I'm from outside of Austin, TX but go to school outside of Denver, CO. I"m into all of the punk/emo stuff I listened to in high school (i.e. Brand New, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, etc.), but most new stuff I listen too falls into the indie scene. My tradelist is probably evident of this.

My favorite thing ever is the TV show Lost. I also love Twin Peaks, NBC sitcoms (30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Community), and FX sitcoms (Always Sunny, The League). I also read a lot of Vonnegut, PKD, and Pynchon.

I also drink lots of beer,

Thanks

My names Ian, i'm from the South Bay near Los Angeles (torrance, redondo, lomita)

I'm a hockey nut, been playing for over 20 years and have been a die hard LA Kings fan for as long.

I'm a web designer by trade.

I love whiskey, preferably Jack & Jameson (very proud of my Irish heritage)

I'm pretty heavily tattooed and love art (tattoo art, traditional japenese, pinups).

I'm a dog person, own a Shiba Inu.

As far as music goes i have very eclectic tastes some of my favorite bands are Lucero, Alkaline Trio, Against Me!, Devo, The Movielife, GlassJAw, Bad Rabbits, Deftones, Wilco, Rancid, The Bronx, but i love everything from old school hip hop, 80s punk rock, metal, real country (none of that radio pop country crap).

My tradelist shows a pretty good cross section of my tastes http://deadformat.net/tradelist/ianmonsta

Yeah, I'm sure you tell them all that that's what they're seeing. I'm going to believe that you just sit people in a dark room and give them shrooms and project colors on the wall.

In all seriousness, though, sounds like an awesome job.

Im 27 and I moved here after college. I went to foothill high school in Tustin That high school was a shit hole. Also I went to Biola but I just tell people hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry...pretty much the same thing. I have a ton of friends who have grown up and lived in the south bay there whole lives, so moving out here was a natural progression.

tokimedo, it got deleted. no tradelist.

i've made exceptions for people in the past only to have them totally fail do so even after asking, hence why i don't like making exceptions. when i do i have to make exceptions for other things that people ask for. hope you understand. resend when you have a tradelist LINK up before tomorrow morning.

Info sent!

and about me!

Well, I really enjoy Alabama Football, my favorite bands right now are Title Fight, Whirr, Hostage Calm, Touche Amore, Defeater, Transit, Trampled By Turtles and such.

I like all things Disney (for whatever reason, I'm a big kid at heart)

Adventure Time, Regular Show, Workaholics, HIMYM, Modern Family, Parks and Rec, Metalocalypse, Squidbillies are some of my favorite tv shows.

I like Star Wars, Big Lebowski, In Bruges, Pulp Fiction, Drive, movies in that vein.

John Green is my favorite author.

I really LOVE old country and bluegrass (George Jones, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Flatt and Scruggs, Ralph Stanley, Loretta Lynn)

I have diabetes but candy is still awesome i'll just have to take some insulin.

And just a little FYI, it doesn't cost any more to ship to Alaska than it does the rest of the US, it just takes longer so I won't be using media mail to mail whatever it is I wind up sending.

Looking forward to this, should be lots of fun.

here's my tradelist. http://deadformat.net/tradelist/Bret

And, my amazon wishlist as well:http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1VC2AGI9UXC6N/ref=cm_wl_rlist_go_o_T1-2

ABOUT ME

My name is [CENSORED] (weird, I know, I AM a dude, it is a rather sexually ambiguous name...), I'm 27, and I just had my first child with my wife two months ago, he's an awesome little dude. I am a manager at a call center of roughly 85 staff.

I'm from and currently located in [CENSORED] ( [CENSORED] !).

I have super weird selective taste in everything, especially music. Here is my collection: http://www.discogs.com/collection?user=Daegor and my wantlist: http://www.discogs.com/wantlist?user=Daegor. I am only obsessed with a very select few bands, (The Chariot, Klayton/Celldweller/Circle of Dust/Etc, Blindside, Norma Jean, Zao, Nine Inch Nails), and am not a variant collector except for The Chariot. I rarely listen to the radio, so chances are if it isn't on my want/have list, or last.fm (http://www.last.fm/user/Daegor) then I probably haven't heard them before, but I am always eager to consume more music.

I like TV shows like Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Craig Ferguson, movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fight Club, and other such mind trip movies, but really will like nearly any movie for one reason or another (Pixar movies and gems like How to Train Your Dragon, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, etc).

I love microbreweries, GOOD liquor, etc.

I like to read, mostly sci-fi stuff like Philip K Dick, Isaac Asimov, Frank Herbert.

My spoon is too big!
