Anyone and everyone. I truly love people. I think anyone who knows me will tell you the same. I generally don't go for fake and/or uneducated people though. Not to sound snobby with the uneducated thing - just that I pay specific attention to myself and my surroundings as a respect to those who come in contact with me, and I appreciate the same respect from others. And its not like I mean people who can't spell, or don't know big vocabulary words either - no, its the people who treat life like they own it - parents who yell at or hit their kids, or who, because they weren't ready to be parents themselves, treat their children like scapegoats for all of their problems - people who steal or cheat or complain alot - people who flaunt their wealth in the faces of the poor - and most of all, people who hurt others for whatever reason. The way I see it, we are all just struggling along in our own ways on this planet, and the only thing that will save us from certain doom is knowledge - of each other and ourselves. So generally, the people who I click best with are those people who understand and embrace that, and who want to make this little blue/green planet a better place to live in.I'd like to meet the person who rocked out in Photoshop like this:
