Gemini

This is an impossible task. Do your best to divine me from my list of interests. There really isn't a thread that ties me together. I am complex but very simple. I am a seeker. I love exploring, learning, trying to understand, accepting, challenging. I like the law and its potential for justice. I like intellectual discussions, but not arguments. I like talking travel and swapping stories. I like the order of science and theory, but also the chaos of art and jazz. At times in my l life, I have wanted to be (in order): a baseball player, an architect, an engineer, an historian, an economist, a lawyer, and, currently, anything but (travel writer? novelist? non-violent organizer? manager of a non-profit?). At the broadest level, I want to discover what makes people passionate about something I have never tried. Somebody loves to ice fish and can rave about it all day. I want to know why. No better way than to give it a shot. Can't make assumptions in this life. At least, not about me...

Anyone that can handle anything at any time, diversity, spontaneity, deepness, vocabulary, grabs life, experimental, traditional, complex, humble, extroverted, great listener...
