Your Brain's Pattern
Your brain is always looking for the connections in life.
You always amaze your friends by figuring out things first.
You're also good at connecting people - and often play match maker.
You see the world in fluid, flexible terms. Nothing is black or white.
What Pattern Is Your Brain?..
I'd like to meet:
Grounded folks. Artsy, edgy even, but without the need to slice-and-dice those around them (that's not cool, it's cruel). Cool people. Yeah, I know; everyone's cool, just like everyone's a good driver. Folks with both substance and style. Nice folks who don't shop at Walmart. Bonus points for those who know the "Group W Bench" reference. Oh, and the Talking Dogs. I'm always up for meeting talking dogs...
