I like classic things and comfortable silences.

Recently I had to write a bio for a speaking engagement:
Neal is a self-aggrandizing windbag whose greatest contribution to society has been shutting the fuck up. Once when he was real cold he complained so much that he got punched in the face; no-one else was cold at all.

...you're prolific.

In addition to new friends I am looking for something similar to the following (scraped off the internet):
'A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together. Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth - they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other...' '...if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength.' '...they encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.'
