I don't have a specific kind of person I want to meet, I like meeting all sorts of new people. I especially like meeting people from different backgrounds than myself. A lot of people I've become really good friends with, appear completely different from me on the surface. Almost all of the best conversations I've had, happen just by chance, at a random time with a randam person. Sometimes of course it's with my good friends but it's still an unplanned moment. Whenever I try an anticipate meeting someone interesting or having an interesting conversation it rarely happens. The same is true for just having a good time. Whenever I've tried to create it or recreate it as the case may be, it doesn't happen. For sure, the best times for me are almost always unplanned. I hesitate to say "always" or "never" because then I end up eating the words, when something happens that "breaks the rules". However, contrary to that, often times right before the introduction to someone I think is meaningful, I do feel something that makes me think "something out of the ordinary is going to happen today". I don't know if that makes sense, maybe it just makes me sound crazy?
