"Some things you'll do for money, and some you'll do for fun, but the things you do for love are going to come back to you one by one" - The Mountain Goats' Love, Love, Love
"Yet so pleasing the Pain is, so soft is the Dart, That at once it both wounds me, and Tickles my Heart" - Henry Purcell's The Fairy Queen
I'm one of those people who needs to be doing something all of the time. I think people should do creative work and it's not just a right, but a responsibility in order to be a living, breathing, valuable human being. People should notice the world and make a comment on it and express that comment through some kind of innovation. - Brian Doherty's This is Burning Man
I have an active, playful, gung-ho type personality. I enjoy the company of other people and form close friendships. I seek out stimulation, am highly extroverted and tend to be spontaneous and fun-loving. I enjoy challenge and growth and I have goals to be more self-actualized.
"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth" - Thoreau
"When the mind's eye rests on objects illuminated by truth and reality, it understands and comprehends them, and functions intelligently; but when it turns to the twilight world of change and decay, it can only form opinions, its vision is confused and its beliefs shifting, and it seems to lack intelligence." - Plato
I also very much love humor & search for it always:
Love You, Skyler!! I can't wait for Housebroken! And big congrats for this http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-42985
Okay 11. Geez, we might as well call it breakfast. ;) Gere-A-Deli? Should we meet there or you want me to swing by & grab you? No softball for me. I hate it. Scared of the ball making contact w/ my body. Sorry! You should assemble a kickball team, I'd play that!
I am not sure when a few of us will get together for a skate but I just wanted to check in with you and let you know I haven't forgotten you. i mean if you are still interested.
Yeah, I know we don't know each other that well, but I could relate to that even as if it was my own thought. Anyway, I saw your status, are you okay? Did something bad happen?
