My actualized self.
People who break the mold, set new standards, don't fit in, have major issues with fences, or who are busy like me and can relate. I want to meet girls who understand what I mean when I say I want to "hang out." I want to meet people who are not fake, even in a community of movers and shakers. I fall in love with people who inspire me. I want to meet women who think they are beautiful, and who fight the pressure from society to hate their bodies. I want to meet men who can respect my relationship, and theirs when they're with me. I want to meet children cleverly disguised as adults.

Too many to list. Most anything by: Henry Miller, Tom Robbins, Anais Nin, Chuck Palahniuk (favorite new author), Oscar Wilde, Margaret Atwood, Kerouac, Vonnegut, Lovecraft, Mark Twain, Nabokov.I'm currently reading Atlas Shrugged. This will take me a while, but I'm addicted. Also reading Choke, which I don't really love so far, despite everyone's recommendation.
