The fine art of conversation -- analyzing, philosophizing, theorizing and discussing anything and everything. Live music, local music. Being outdoors -- hiking, biking, running, relaxing. Yoga, working out, making out, scaring children. People-watching. Fine dining, cooking good food, drinking good wine, reading good books, having good sex. Bar hopping, watching movies, Family Guy, thorwing darts, shooting pool (poorly), being social, meeting new people, eating paste and making people laugh -- a lot.
Fun people, smart people, people who "get it." Anyone who's ever been referred to as eccentric, odd or interesting -- or enjoy being around those of us who have.
People who are into live music and can turn me on to new bands, sounds and genres I've never heard before. Outgoing people. People who enjoy meeting new people, learning and experiencing new things and who are as thriving on being alive as I am. People who actively loathe, fear and shun unnecessary drama, pettiness and minor trivialities.
People who can find humor in even the darkest of situations. People who enjoy the occasional potty joke...or the not so occasional potty joke.
People who don't think Taco Bell at 2am is gross. People who'll wait around for that 2nd flush, just to be sure. People who'll smile at a complete stranger just to see them smile back.
And...well...you. Oh, and your mom.
