Martial Arts (mainly Tae Kwon Do and handgunning, but I'm hoping to learn something new here in RI);
Computers (we'll see how much I like them after a few more classes);
Math and Philosophy (liked those two so much I got a degree in them);
Equitation (fancy way of saying horseback riding);
Travel (I've been to England, France and Germany, plus all over the US);
the Outdoors (I'm looking forward to enjoying the Eastern Wild this summer);
Problem-solving (I am Solver Unit 72);
Microbrew beer (Magic Hat's Number 9 is freaking awesome!);
the Kingdom of Loathing (Is an adventurer you?);
the Doctor Who CCG (an incredibly obscure card game)
Cooking (Nothing fancy or specific, just food I can eat)
I'd like to meet:
I like honest people. Say what you're going to say. If it's stupid, well, it sucks to be you. But I'll appreciate your honesty.
I like intelligent people. Say something interesting, something deep, something unique. Make me think and question and debate.
I like spiritual people. I'm not saying you have to believe anything specific, but behave well, treat others and yourself with respect, and give up the pointless drama.

This is hardly a perfect classification system, but its sort of how I have my CDs divided on the rack. These are just examples of CDs I have. I tend to like hard rock, but I really have to take it artist-to-artist to find something I love. Got something good? Let me know!
