Many things bizarre and unusual, experimental film and music, the fantastic, the esoteric, mythology, drawing, sculpting, writing, collecting various bits and baubles I find pleasing and interesting (gargoyles, Eastern decorations and musical instruments, vinyl toys, etc.) dreaming, finding new places where I feel a particular and comfortable ambience, talking with an individual who knows and appreciates the same things I do, dancing occasionally, walking at night along quiet streets, and drinking a White Russian Latte while reading an engrossing volume(among other things...)
I'd like to meet:
Those who are like me in nature and temperament; other INTP's (and INFP's-- because I walk the line...); intelligent, patient, thoughtful, creative people; entities who reveal powerful, esoteric truths about all existence (specifically benign entities... no Faustian contracts); Alice in her Looking Glass Land; patrons of the Arts (especially my own); people who inspire me to be my very best.
