I'd like to meet:
People who have a diversity of interests as I do. I like people who can hold there own in an intellectual conversation but also know how to get silly and/or goofy depending on the mood. I enjoy respectful debates about world/social affairs. Other than that I am busy, working out, laughing, or out dancing.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
