I'd like to meet:
people who:
think life is amazing and live accordingly.
are fun, interested in something (anything!), creative, and aware.
do things other than, or in addition to, getting drunk.
have something to offer the world (sex appeal doesn't count).
are interested in subjects and events outside themselves.
