Fellow architecture geeks (that includes you, Brad!); blasts from the past; long lost family;NORML people; just about anyone who isn't a pedophile, ultra-conservative-right-wing-nut-job or crank head. My favorite people are focused, but don't take themselves too seriously. I think balance is the key to having a happy life...a little work, a little cocktailing, but not too much of either. I love funny people, I have a family full of them but am always happy to meet more.
