My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who defy stereotypes. People with interests similar to my own. Intelligent, creative people who think for themselves. People who know where to find a foosball table (and who don't mind losing to a girl - haha). Also, old friends who would like to reconnect. Almost anyone, really...however, I must say this:
IF YOU CAN'T TAKE FIVE MINUTES TO READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE AND SEND ME A COHERENT MESSAGE, THEN PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT ME TO ADD YOU.
Come on, let's preserve our humanity in spite of this little fake cyber-world we're currently floating in, shall we?
Much love. :)
