The one where Japanese people do awesome stuff and there's really bad dubbing. Other than that I don't have TV so yeah... but ahhh.... Queer as Folk and Sex in the City are some rentable addictions.

No one can describe themselves accurately. Well, I'm no longer trapped in Juneau, now I'm slightly lost in Portland. I go out way too much, I drink way too much (Well, I guess if I really thought it was TOO much then I wouldn't do it). I'm still a gear junkie... Which is very dangerous working in a gear shop! (Kind of like fat people working in candy stores) I'm definitely still a hopeless romantic though I seem to have a level of optimism I'm grateful for.

I find peace through thrill seeking. I think the pain of extremely sore muscles feels good. I'm a sensation seeker, and I have so many plans it's really more like having no plans at all. I take what comes along and when I really want to make something happen, I do. I'm strangely drawn to and intrigued by danger and extreme poverty.

Opportunity comes from danger and chaos.

People who want to cut loose and don't hold anything back. People who are fun to go out with. My mountaineering mentor liked to group most things into two catagories he said, "There are two types of people, fun makers, and fun detractors." I think I fit more into the catagorie of fun 'enhancer' but I like to surround myself with fun makers.
