I'd like to meet:
Reasonably smart or otherwise informed people who aren't averse to new ideas or activities. For example, I didn't expect to like prog-rock much, but I'm embracing it more and more. Y'know, it doesn't even matter if you don't have higher education or life experience, as long as you have the veneer of it and the confidence to fill in the holes. It's certainly how I operate, anyway. It's the personal conduct that counts; be you and I'll be me and we'll get along if we should. Just don't be a drone. Please.

It's mostly there. Give it a look.
