.. .. .. .. .. The Awakened Ones, those whose minds twinkle like their eyes. I seek the bizarre, the otherworldly, the insane and the brilliant, but also the true and just, the kindhearted and warm. I like folks who are self-confident but not filled with pride and hubris. I am drawn to those whose imaginations are not constrained and who can ensorcell me with their weird visions. But all that aside, if you're a good person who doesn't lie and is generally interested in the world, I shan't shun you. I want to meet someone who can carve a eurypterid out of granite. Most especially I like to meet those few folks who are mentally nimble and know lots of little details.
