I have a lot of potential but I have difficulty disciplining myself to do all the things I have an interest in. I've accomplished some cool stuff, but I'm currently making a comeback from losing it all in Washington. (I put it all on the table and luck just wasn't enough on my side.)

I am shy at first glance, but in time it becomes obvious that I'm just picky about who I let my personality come out around. I think I project a good blend of intelligence and bizarre humor.

I really try hard to love everyone (I hope this is obvious about me, but it's hard to say, they might just think I'm a snob.)

I would never be happy if my loved ones were not (happy). It is the point of my life to do as much as I can to improve this planet, and I believe that somehow, some way, I will have a large impact. Don't we all

Someone with whom I can have deep, meaningful conversations about ideas (as opposed to people or events). She's creative but practical, inspired by art and intellectual dissection of cultural and political events.

She collects people as lifelong friends, and is known for being sensitive and inspiring. A network of supporting, loving people surround her, but she is comfortable being alone. She does not thrive specifically on social attention, though she knows how to work a room.

She understands that in healthy relationships women are ultimately in control, but men need the perception of freedom. She doesn't scream (in arguments), and she has more self-control than I do.
