There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it. -Geo

About Me

I do not really enjoy talking too much about myself but that can easily change with the proper social lubricants or the odd request.

My Interests

Wide and varied, with particular focus.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people who teach me things. Or, just interesting people. I do also like people who might consider themselves uninteresting.
