You don't really wish to know about my interests, do you?

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't.And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" - Alice Pleasance Lidell.
I'd like to meet:
People who hold meaningful conversations with themselves, wackadoos, shower vocalists, wordharlots, plankwalkers, breeders, booksluts, mudskippers , wisecrackers, jedi knights, strangers with candy, scribes, people with minds and mouths of their own, and those who never fail to say "please" and "thank you"...
I do not wish to meet megalomaniacs, henchmen and puppy-kickers.
