I'd like to meet:
I enjoy the company of people who have a sense of themselves, direction, honesty, creativity, passion, but most of all, compassion.
I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you. If you can love me for what I am, we shall be the happier. If you cannot, I will still seek to deserve that you should. I will not hide my tastes or aversions.
If you have a private profile you need to send me an intro message, or I'll just delete the request.
....O, and other Pastafarians. (;
