About Me


-INFP-
-5w4-
independent, complicated, creative, sensitive, passionate, cerebral, ambitious, a bit twisted, and a little eccentric... Apparently I'm one of those people thats difficult to get to know or something, but I'm quite straight forward. I'm easy going but when provoked I make Joan Collins look like June Cleaver; so consider yourself warned... just kidding (or am I?)

I'd like to meet:

I'm just here to keep in touch with my posse. Im not looking to meet anyone...But generally speaking I like people with depth... curious and creative individuals who have an insatiable desire and drive to learn about and make sense of this strange, beautiful, creepy world we inhabit. People who laugh at themselves on a regular basis and sometimes just laugh for no apparent reason, interesting people with interesting ideas... artists, thinkers, geeks, freaks, rock'n'rollers, spiritual beings having a human experience... you know what I'm sayin'?
