Music, dance, art(Jack Vettriano current fav.), design, travel(I miss Praha), films(or you can call them movies, I was only a film major for a year), reading, philosophy, playing tennis, continuing my education, studying law(intellectual properties), cooking(anything gluten-free), making the world a better place, battling evil, schadenfreude, dream interpretation, nascent Peter Pannism, Strongbad emails, and talking monkeys.
Oh, I was going to put down more nerdy intellectual pursuits like particle physics, nanotechnology, cosmology, communications technology, and global politics, but how do you juxtapose those with Strongbad emails and talking monkeys? No, I'd really like you to send me a message if you can explain how you can do it.
People that are awesome. Or you! As long as you are not a sociopath, a sycophant, criminally insane, or have warrants for your arrest in more than three states. So if you aren't terribly disingenuous, shallow, or self-serving we'll get along just fine. If you are smahhhhhht, hilarious, interesting, good natured, a sexual deviant(sorry, for women and post-op transexuals only), and can appreciate my sense of humor and lexicon, then I'd say you should send me a message. Also of note, you may be awesome if you are so ridiculously hot that it makes whatever you say interesting, or you are so interesting that it makes whatever you say seem intelligent, or you are so intelligent that it makes you look hot. If you are intelligent, interesting, and hot, then feel free to ask me out to dinner, buy me drinks, and make your best pass at me.
Seriously? People that read would be a good start.
