5 things that I'm good at:
1) Listening
2) Following directions
3) Carrying heavy loads on my back
4) Being patient
5) Making lists

5 things that I don't do well:
1) Talking in front of large groups of people (greater than 3)
2) Spelling the words "definitly," "monkies," and "dinning."
3) Making good first impressions
4) Eating with chopsticks
5) Describing myself

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: "WOW--What a Ride!!!" --- don't know who said it, but it lives on my fridge

Independent, free-thinkers. Good people. People who appreciate humor in a little bit of sarcasm. Ok, maybe a lot of sarcasm. People who are interested in living outside the box. People who stick around till the end of the credits. Non-smokers. People who want to go to shows. People who will push me to take more risks in all aspects of my life. People who aren't "trying" to be something. People who recycle. People I can tease. People who will tease me back. People who hesitate to say "when," while everyone else does. Sincere people. People who prefer to take the stairs. People with an opinion. People who listen to their music LOUD (singing in the car is optional). People who aren't "people."
