HI. I love history and reading and was always the "old farty" or geeky one in school. Don't look at the age or sex or race on my profile- it will only mislead you about who I truly am. I hate to turn you off, but the truth is that I am even too mature for some middle aged folk (I don't make reality-show based remarks, and am always obsessed with working and keeping useful). I am not a conservative Christian, but I am old fashioned and I don't like the callousness and shallowness of modern society. Doesn't mean I can't have fun, though!

I am a SELF EMPLOYED (i.e. American) book dealer, with my father, also trying my hand at writing (mostly philosophy, but fiction as well).

As much as I like this site, I don't think it really does the users justice in the way it matches people up or compares their profiles- it always seems as if the people they say you are most like are not like you, but the people you are least like are not so bad.

I am very intersted in finding a travel buddy or partner who likes to travel and am very interested in finding a way to get a book published, even if by a very small company. I hate to use other people directly to get the lifestyle I want but would like to humbly request that education and culture-loving travelers and intellectual bookworms message me.

I am intelligent, creative, and very friendly

Looking for a travel buddy or friend who actually enjoys museums and films (but not nihilistic sorts of films) and that sort of thing.

I am self employed and am starting a website where I will sell an audiobook. www.autismpolitics.tk I also love to knit scarves and hats for the poor- ironic considering my adherence to the philosophy of Ayn Rand. Although she does say one may give to charity if it makes one happy...

I would be happier if I could find people who didn't enjoy, and hopefully hated, the bar scene. I don't mean some mindless idiot who babbles, "Yeah. I hate it too. I only go once a month with my friends. I don't drink, only a Mai Tai every other time." If you hate the bar scene, you don't go. Period.
I like capital "W" Wholesome people- all the way honest, not "in their true lives", but all the time.

History. Writing. Reading. Jokes. Music. Eating. Fun.

My eyes and hair.

I loved 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
I also like Hunchback of Notre Dame, Count of Monte Cristo, satirical writings (like Mark Twain).

Ayn Rand may have been the greatest philosopher that ever lived. This is not me trying to exaggerate; her philosophy is so sustainable and logical, with almost no loopholes, so far as I have read.

MOVIES: Wizard of Oz, Life of Brian, Indiana Jones, LOTR, Hidalgo, Amadeus, Finding Neverland, Titanic (although it's getting a little old watching it so much)

MUSIC: mostly show tunes and classical, Wagner, the Doors, Beatles, movie scores, some Bjork, Elvis, Beach Boys, Andrew Lloyd Webber

FOOD: too much to list and I always like to try new things

susbsection: FOOD. It's a holy wonder I'm not fat.

*sushi *Chinese *Lebanese (raw meat...mmm!- just kidding, but most Lebanese food is good)
*lettuce and tomato sandwich *those fruity NutriGrain bars *Dagoba chocolates *miso soup with tofu
*shish kabob *cake (chocolate, strawberry whipped cream, red velvet, etc.) *artichokes *maamoul cookies *coconut ice cream *fish with lemon and coleslaw *sweet bread with sugar *chicken with dud-thood (ask the Lebanese!) *ice cream with honey
*roasted chicken with cranberry sauce and yellow squash
*zucchini and summer squash with asparagus
*Oreos dipped in milk
*lamb chops wrapped in flat bread with tomatoes and mashed potatoes inside *blueberries
*Kids Karnival Stix popsicles
*mulberry pie (berries from my own backyard)
*steamers and littlenecks
*these weird puddings from the Asian market

Good food/music/movies, my beliefs, people I know, knowledge and rational thinking, my individuality, Jesus

*Philosophy- not that phony 'guy-with-a-hippie-beard-existentialist' crap- true and honest thought.

*How people could possibly become Nazis and fascists, how our world should stop it from happening again, why people feel the need to judge people by age/sex/race etc.

eating dinner or at the library, or visiting my baby cousin...well, he's five.

I like Bjorks songs! Nah, I said that loud and proud

I'm not that into sex, and hate people who believe, as a rule for all relationships, that it is necessary to have it and "abnormal" not to have it or desire it.

I hate those indie "open-minded" hippie guys with the beards and artsy hats who talk about "philosophical" things and always vote Democrat- i.e. those people who want to be "different, just like everyone else".

I don't really like Barack Obama...GASP.

If you like what I said in my profile or if you are pure of mind and heart. Or if you think you can possibly be as geeky as me!

If you like to travel or if you are an aspiring author or publishing agent. I have a few book ideas. Not "philosophical" or "deep" crap- real stories with colorful ideas and strong stories.
