I'm mostly here to make friends & meet interesting people. But I'm open to a few just for fun, small, quirky dates. They literally have to be quirky. I'd like to think of myself as not run-of-the-mill. Like using a leaf for a bookmark instead of a bookmark.

I have some money saved from when I worked in Graphic Design so I'm using that to give me some time to find a new career path.

I'm extremely creative so I'm trying my hand @ being an artist at the moment. Hey, I've wanted to be an artist for awhile so I'm starting now. I'm also looking into entréepreneural endeavours. Yeah, entrée-preneural. I want to make a positive difference somehow & am working on stringing this all together to get that end result one day. Anyone want to show me around since I am new to the whole art scene? Or it would be fun to do little collaborations. Can I put my works in progress on here? I'll figure it out.

Not owning a TV. Fighting back my desire to up & go on adventures every other month (been around Europe & have been to Nepal). Meeting people that are exponential additions to life instead of simply +1 or -50 (or at least I hope I'll be really good at that as I put myself out there more).

My accent. After that my excellent ability to fluently not speak any foreign languages with it.

6. Umm, a metaphoric bag to carry the other 5 things in.. Oh wait, washer + dryer.

If a washer + dryer doesn't come as a package then you can replace my ideals for the washer.

How many pillows it would take to replace my bed while still needing a pillow. If horses wore coconuts over their hooves would they make horse clomping sounds on top of their horse clomping sounds? I could go on but I know you're saying "please don't"..

Herding elephants with a dog whistle made out of pine cone.. of course not! I'm usually exploring the town, hanging out with people I've met, or at an event be it a hackathon, recital, or meditation session.

Besides the obvious contradiction of this question.. is that I am in personal reinvention.

While I don't know what the ratio is for the amount of people you get to know and the amount of them that become good friends I do know what the ratio is when I'm not looking. So I'm looking for friends that are still childish, silly, & weird. That can have in depth & insightful conversations. That are looking to try new & creative things. Maybe grab a few nets & go firefly hunting. If you feel like you want to just send a message. No harm in making new friends right?
