What is in a name... as such, what are words? A simple means to convey an idea. But we are all more than an idea, I would imagine. All more than some description of a few sentences. At least I am hoping so. At any rate, this paragraph is required, so I shall share a bit about myself.

Valley residence time - 2 years plus, and counting. Life down here is not so bad, though a trifle slower than what I am used to. Granted, my general activities consist of a bit of outdoor running, a bit of indoor movies and games, the occasional road trip, and some nice relaxing reading time. Definitely not a hard man to please, I suppose.

My life to this point has been a mixture of school, work, introversion becoming extroversion, and meeting quite a few interesting folks on the way.

What am I looking for? Various things. A friend, a lover, a life mate? They are all synonymous to me. Someone who can hold their end of a conversation or argument if it arises would be ideal. Beyond this, I think I need someone who is loving, but their own person - who won't change to become what I want and need, but will let their actions and words speak for themselves to show me if we are compatible.
