Who I am is defined by things that I know, some of which are:
- I am enthusiastic about things that interest me
- Cookies and hugs remedy most short-term emotional distress
- I can make friends laugh
- I spend more time in front of a computer than I should
- I am overly self-confident

and also things I don't know but want to find out:
- How to draw
- Whether I want to raise children
- How to balance multiple relationships (not just romantic relationships)

Well, abstractly speaking, I want to meet people with whom I have conversational chemistry. People to talk with about things, however silly, that interest us both.

More concretely, though, in order to find that chemistry, I want to meet people with some similar interests and, more importantly, passion for those interests.

So, if any of the interests and favorites I listed above make you tingle with the desire to say something, click that "Send" button and say it!
