Hmmmmm....music, movies, brilliant literature, people who are not afraid to show who they really are...who can talk about more than just music, movies and brilliant literature. Dreaming of traveling the world and stopping in all my favorite haunts. Pretending I have favorite haunts across the world. Getting to know people deeply. Sharing embarrassing moments unabashedly, knowing full well that each of us has them. Trying to make myself better. Learning to love my faults. Breathing outside air. "Driving and dreaming" with "windows down and music on the stereo." People who are not politically correct. People who are okay with being self-effacing and who don't take stereotypical jokes seriously but who also are confident and love themselves.
I'd like to meet:
Meeting someone is simply not enough for me. I would love to spend some quality time with the following people: Donald Miller, Derek Webb and Zooey Deschanel. I have met but have to say I would also enjoy more time with Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
