I love history, its my political outlet since the current political dialogue just makes me want to go live somewhere where I don't have to watch the slow regression of civilization on the daily news. I absoutely love finding new music, books and movies to lose myself in. If you're interested in soccer, then definitely feel free to message me, its my one (admittedly poor)skill and I check the club soccer news sites before anything else each day.
I'd like to meet:
People who are open minded and kind. People who share my love of singing in the car, loudly and poorly. Anyone who is not involved in a "Scene", thats the sort of thing that makes Bill O'Reilly so pissed that he has to molest interns over the telephone just to calm down.
People who see intelligence as a means to an end, not merely an end in and of itself.
