I may look like a polar bear, but I'm really a gentle giant.

People who can use a semicolon correctly. I'm not kidding.
But also, I'm up for meeting nice, simple, intelligent, kind, amusing and rockin' people.

Oh, and maybe some people who can tell me of their negative experiences with Scientology. Scientology fascinates me.

But also, remember when President Bush was all, "Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world, it is God's gift to humanity. We Americans have faith in ourselves, but not in ourselves alone. We do not know -- we do not claim to know all the ways of Providence, yet we can trust in them, placing our confidence in the loving God behind all of life, and all of history. May He guide us now. And may God continue to bless the United States of America."

Well, whatever. Lastly, my quotation of President Bush is not an endorsement thereof.
