I'd like to meet:
People who..."Open to me, so that I may open. Provide me your inspiration. So that I might see mine."- Mevlana Jelalu'ddin Rumi
People who refuse to look at life and the world through their fingers. "From Flemish: 'iets door de vingers kijken', literally it means looking at something through the fingers, allowing something illegal or incorrect to happen by conscious inaction."
"Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral."
--Paulo Freire

My score on The Get Off the Internet Test :
Dependent
(You are 58 % addicted to the Internet!)
Although you're not completely addicted yet, the possibility is very likely. You most likely find yourself thinking in acronyms, although I hope you're not so far gone as to be one of those people that says "lol". If you are, STOP NOW.
Your reintroduction to real life may need to be more drastic; a good start would be going camping. AND DON'T TAKE A LAPTOP.

You are Commenter of the month!!
YOU. That’s right, YOU. YOU are commenter of the month. Writing comments because YOU care. YOU are changing the goddamn world. From YOUR cubicle. Or YOUR home. In YOUR boxers. Or, in YOUR capri sweatpants. YOU are emboldened and empowered. YOU have an IPod and YOUtube and MYspace, yet YOU still comment. YOUR voice has taken the form of comments and YOU have been heard. Congratulations, YOU.

Music:
Björk: "You know, it's ironic that just at the point the lawyers and the businessmen had calculated how to control music, the internet comes along and f**** everything up. That almost seems like divine intervention." Björk gives the finger again, this time waving it into the air, challenging, no doubt, that great lawyer in the sky. "God bless the internet," she adds. And what about you, then? "I'll still be there, waving a pirate flag."

Heroes:
Myself and you!!
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.â€--Marianne Wiliamson
