You all went through this but I've never even thought about describing myself.

I love where I live but hate nationalism (it leads to wars).I am spiritual but hate organized religion (it leads to wars).
I am left brain, but studied engineering. (which you can probably tell from this format.)
I love history, travel,the arts,nature,social stimulation,and all levels of intimacy.
I have history, but no baggage
I'm intelligent and require the same - done the young, sexy trophy thing and am relieved that I've matured.
My favorite escapes are camping,and travel.
Music hits me at several levels depending on the situation. I try to keep abreast of
current trends, but am not obsessed, I'm Pisces, more inclined to get off on whatever
fits my mood. Music is very important to me and much too complex to precis.
I'm independant, and enjoy that in people, but am always there for friends,
family, and often complete strangers.
Short term, Id like to meet someone interseting! Long term, someone who
still stimulates and completes me (and of course vise versa) after we're
old news.
I didn't mention sex but it's in there.

I've reached the limit of self absorbtion, so that's enough for now

No one needs a bruised ego-first meeting should be mostly conversation, but with separate and humane escape routes. It should be flexible, comfortable, and interesting with no regrets, whether friendship lasts 10 minutes or 10 years.
