My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who are:
- obsessive and intense about nearly everything that they do
- able to concoct ideas and visions that stop other people in their tracks
- keen on creating a sense of adventure, both in the exotic & the mundane
- able to parse symbol sets that are foreign to my internal semantic maps
- terrifying and beautiful, both in speech and in motion
- not just marking time until they die

Octopodes: Ninjas of the Sea
