I am dualistic. I am mercurial yet dependable, political yet simple, rational yet emotional, tempermental yet gentle, meticulous yet chaotic, friendly yet reserved, mysterious yet direct, hard-working yet lethargic, and grave yet whimsical. I will vote both conservative and liberal. I love both nature and technology. I know good and I know evil.
I'd like to meet:
