Hiya, Ahoy, 'lo, blah blah blah

Err . . hi? I should try to break the ice. . . what's something I can relate to you about? Ah!!

Well i'm obviously an AM! fan . . .cause I'm here, otherwise I'm a big fan of Alkaline Trio, The Sex Pistols, Michelle Shocked, Ani DiFranco, The Lawrence Arms, Johnny Cash, Jimmy Eat World, Billie Holiday and Brandi Carlile. . . mmmmm I tried to list a good mix of my favourites there, but by far of course I hold AM! at my top.

I finally had the chance to meet the band and see them play at Warped last year. That was the day I decided that I was going to be a musician. I'd always wanted to, but I'd gotten a lot of shit about it being a hard thing to do. They're right, but I don't want to be famous. A lesser (far lesser) black flag would be ideal I suppose.

Is someone saying "oh, I can relate to this stranger through their interests and words" yet?

I've nothing of interest to say in all honesty. I enjoy writing poorly constructed essays, and reading is a big time consumer of mine (Oscar Wilde, "The Catcher in the Rye", "The Story of the Eye", Stephen King, Henry Rollins, "Running With Scissors").

I weekly waste all my cash on guitar strings, novels (working in a bookstore doesn't help me there), vinyl, and film.

Lastly, I adore this forum. I think it's grand that a group of fans can be so connected and nice. You don't see that often enough.

Find me! Friend me! Tap dance with me!

"oh! she's just like me!" right now someone reading this is tap dancing.

Hi, my name is brad. I like against me too. We have so much in common!

wow! amazing! kekeke

Howdy!
I'm listening to Jimmy Eat World as I read this! And I'm glad to hear that you're a fan of Brandi Carlile, that woman is amazing beyond comprehension.

Also, we spend money on the same things!

Word! I'm Ian, I usually say creepy stalkerish things. Now go read the forum rules, you obviously missed the rule that all new users have to make their avatar a sexy picture of them.

Have you ever heard her cover of Radiohead's "Creep"? She floors me in that.

Justin likes to party? I'm a nun from Alaska, we don't party. We violently kill those who oppose us for fun! I assume these things are very closely alike?

Mike - We had a signed copy of "A Wolf at the Table" at the store and someone stole it. I say this because I thought perhaps a fellow Augusten Burroughs fan could feel my pain.

works in a bookstore, likes film and vinyl, and guitar strings....hipster.

Oi!

Stephen Colbert wanted to interview J.D. Salinger, but when he didn't hear from him he called him a phony.
