I'd like to meet:
Those courageous souls who possess the insight, intelligence, vitality, creativity and style to appreciate and fully enjoy the finer points of living. Those who are unafraid and unashamed of doing so to their absolute fullest capacity of experience.
Also those who appreciate the ruthless absurdity of creating a profile on myspace.
"To love another is something
like prayer and can't be planned, you just fall
into its arms because your belief undoes your disbelief." - Anne Sexton
