I am here for Friends

About Me

Friendly, thoughtful, open-minded and considerate.
I was raised with good manners. I'm confident butnot egocentric. I enjoy a good time, but a good timecan mean a quiet evening at home. I'm a deep thinker
which I sometimes consider a curse. I enjoy all formsof sensory stimulation. I love conversation but hate
small talk.

"True happiness is of a retired nature, and an
enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first
place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in
the next from the friendship and conversation
of a few select companions."
-- Joseph Addison
