I like to have fun, but can be serious and am motivated, usually. I work hard and play hard. I am calm & chill, yet at times can be very competitive. I am a good person. I can be quite indecisive, especially when ordering at a restaurant.

I hate: the smell of mulch; soup spoons; onions(!); bell peppers, raspberries, cranberries, liver, ignorance
I dislike: large eating utensils in general; umbrellas (except golf umbrellas & only when golfing); pills

Funny, down to earth, interesting people that like to do stuff. Random knowledge a plus. No lame-os or boring people. No stupid, stuck-up or annoying people either... And I would prefer not to vomit when I look at you, but don't worry- I don't think I have ever done that. :)
