I'm interested in the usual, I suppose. Music, Not Working, Movies, Books (when I'm not lazy), Language.
Anyone who isn't dumb to their core. At least anyone who can be taught certain things, and once learned, is no longer dumb to their core. For those that are in a state of eternal coredumb, I'll probably only be interested in sex. The problem with that statement is that true coredumb would prevent you from knowing how obvious a sexual invitation that was. And just for the record, these accusatory notes about intelligence should in no way make you infer that I am on some higher plane of intellect. I know many people (unpublished friends we're speaking of here) smarter than me.As a side category of people I'd like to meet, I'd say I want to meet people that are interested in music at least half as much as me.
