science! the nature of existence and knowledge, reading, writing, sewing, cooking, drawing, going to shows, going to school, and most importantly, being a good mum.

I'd like to meet:
interesting, intelligent, creative, generally exceptional human beings. i like the friends i have already, but i am always up for meeting new intriguing people. i'm not really overly friendly upon first, or second, meeting. this is partly shyness, and partly that i prefer watching people, and dissecting them from a distance ( a purely non-invasive technique), as it is much safer than direct interaction. i am terribly shy. i typically do not initiate conversation. i am not really as standoffish as i may first seem, and i really am not a snob (two common misconceptions of shy people, i've noticed). if you think you want to talk to me, then do it. someday i'll take my own advise in this department.
If you are petty, a manipulative drama queen (or king, femmes don't have a monopoly on this), blissfully ignorant, an unapologetically parasitic jerk, or completely devoid of your own personality, please go take a swan dive off of an overpass. Or at least don't bother talking to me. I promise I will not be nice to you if it becomes clear that you are a shameless oxygen thief.if you listen, act, know your rights, and fight for your civil liberties so they will not be taken from you, then we may get along.hooray for misanthropic humanitarianism.
