They say I'm an enneagram type 7, the offered definition of which is:

Sevens are optimistic thrill seekers that see life as an adventure. This constant zest for life can be inspiring. But once things lose their fun, sevens are no longer interested; many projects go unfinished. 7s fear being overwhelmed by life's struggles.

At the risk of sounding entirely too serious, I'm enamored of creativity, laughter, sensuality, intellectualism (but not the intelligencia), hedonism, social responsibility, absurdity, and pop culture (shamelessly, I say!).

A few random but key facts:

I like poetry immensely.

I also like monkeys immensely.

I believe in fighting social injustice.

I'm quirky, eccentric, complicated, and all manner of interesting euphemisms. :grin:

I believe little things make all the difference.

I'm easily amused.

Music is my greatest joy.

I'm a Jersey girl, born and bred - and couldn't be more pleased to be so. :grin:

I'm drawn to people who are quite smart, somewhat hard, very funny, engaging, quirky, thoughtful, considerate, arrogant, and sexy.
