Heroes
I don't think there is a person who fills that role for me. Humans (including myself) seem a bit too fallible to deserve emulation, But then again -- maybe that's the point.

About me: "There are two types of people in this world: good and Ada. The good sleep better, but Ada seems to enjoy the waking hours much more."
Fun Fact: The rare and bizarre Ada bird is a most elusive creature. Straying regularly from the diurnal tendencies of other subspecies, she is, at best, difficult to glimpse, and at worst, impossible to catch. Only one has been bred in captivity thus far, and while the Ada bird seems to acclimatize well to new environs, she inevitably fades if ill-treated or exposed to the elements for long periods. She is finicky about her nourishment and rather unwilling to sing on command. Those desiring to capture an Ada bird of their own are advised to set their sights on a more easily domesticated avian.
Stuff: I'm living in San Diego right now and trying to finish my first novel. It is excruciatingly painful. It is also what I love most.
Admittedly, I'm sort of strange. I am a shameless geek who can come off as brusque at times, but that's just the... something that makes people brusque... talking. (Makes no sense whatsoever, but I'm leaving it anyhow.) I have an odd sense of humor, one that amuses me more, it seems, than anyone else... but I do laugh a great deal, and at the silliest things.
I'm currently trying to sort out the world, but I'm not making much headway. I'm merely an ottoman philosopher, or something. I am insightful and moody at times. I'm devoted to writing and learning.
Likes: The color blue, scarves, singing at inappropriate times (or even at the appropriate ones), strange nail polish, lavender, gin, waking up in the middle of the night and realizing I can go back to sleep, platonic solids, book shopping, wine, listening to a newly-purchased CD over and over and over, bass fishing, prime numbers, getting lost in details, the smell of wet asphalt, large dogs, drinking good coffee, clean sheets, alchemy, clouds... oh, I can do this for hours.
Dislikes: Listening to/reading bad poetry, accidentally slamming my fingers in a door, complacency, feeling lonely, yappy little dogs, careless spelling, potholes, milk chocolate (ugh!), phlegm, the current political climate, mainstream rap, "keeping up with the Joneses", stagnation, artificial sweeteners, poorly-maintained toenails, large crowds, idiots...

Who I'd like to meet: Note: This paragraph used to be a footnote. I've moved it to the top so as to make it even more plain that I'm not looking. This means I'm not up for it. Don't ask me about it. I will refuse You. I feel rather pompous, writing that, but... *sigh* I'm just trying to save everyone a bit of effort. So, if you've done your homework, please, come on in... if not, you have my regrets. I'm not up for the casual dating/casual sex bullshit continuum. Oh, and one last thing: I utilize the 'block user' function on MySpace judiciously. You have been warned.
I'm looking to meet some interesting and intelligent people with whom I can spend time and laugh. People who will help me grow, and teach me how to breathe. Because I'm suffocating. Positively suffocating.
Wow, that explains nothing. Alright, let me try again.
I am seeking: court jesters, misunderstood geniuses, creative forces, shameless night owls, self-destructionistas, gamers, gaymers, sore thumbs, tomboys, tomgirls, fellow wordsmiths, mind-openers, laughter manufacturers, still waters, anti-socialites, chameleons, aimless wanderers, roleplayers, book-devourers, fellow pirates, cigarette smokers, livers-of-dreams (people who live, not livers -- I hate the taste of liver), verbal swashbucklers, and soul-explorers... or anyone who refuses to be pigeonholed as such.
I am not seeking: Those who are incapable of conversing meaningfully, people who are classified as 'morons', anyone who is both immature and lacking wit. (Either/or I can live with, but immaturity that is devoid of rapacious wit?! Never.) I am also not seeking those who are here for sex, those who were brought up lacking manners, spell check, or a cultivated mind... or anyone who does not/cannot put forth the effort to better him/herself. So, all sheep, intellectually dead, members of boy bands, and knife-wielding homicidal maniacs need not apply.
