Interests & Hobbies
Meaning of Life:
The universe and everything in it is "God" experiencing itself.
So try to have fun, gosh darn it- while steering clear, as much as possible, of hurting others while you do.
In other words, karma is real because we're all connected on a fundamental level, so when you're a jerk to others you're really just hurting yourself :P

Perfect Mate:
none- I fly solo for the foreseeable future!
I enjoy spending my time with people who can respect nuance and differences of opinion without melting down, and who are open to having their minds changed.
Intelligence and a good sense of humor are key, as well as some humility to balance it all out <3
