A: Creativity, openness, passion and curiosity. I've been called an intense Curious George :)
A: Bicycle, cook, eat out, watch movies, goofy adventures, explore nature, wander a city, visit museums, live music, dance, be in queer spaces, drink good beer and booze, 420, write, find and share information about Detroit, read, sex, converse/have dialogue, nap, travel, camping, ride public transportation, volunteer, advance economic/social justice, think up crazy ideas, scheme, hug, cuddle, listen
A: I LOVE to travel. Usually I'm not in a financial place to do so. Tend to do small camping trips, reenactments, and day trips to nearby cities or locations. I tend to get to Seattle, Chicago, Kalamazoo, Saugatuck, Grand Rapids, Cleveland, Lexington, Pittsburgh, and Gulf Shores at least once every two years or more. I've got my eye on NYC and Atlanta, enjoy both greatly. Love wondering and traveling without plans.
That said, I'm an introvert at core, so I always need to touch base with my cave to recharge.
A: Limit meat consumption, especially red meat. Aim for high protein and fiber. Prefer organic certified. Love tea. Get on my bicycle and do some pushups almost every day.
A: INFP, ADHD, social anxiety, HIGH-functioning on the autism spectrum
I should be less submissive and deferential in my day-to-day life (getting better and working on it!)
I'm lucky to be alive.
I used to panic over naps, now I love them :)
I studied the Chinese language (Mandarin) in college...but I've lost fluency.
Just ask!
A: I would...
get distracted by everything and everyone around me and talk about what I see.
ask you a million questions to understand what you're passionate about.
suggest we try something new that evening.
tell you my career ambitions, my current stage in life, and the impact I wish to have.
share all about Detroit and where it's been and is going.
complain about my student loans.
spend too much time talking about my passion for alternative transportation, city planning, and mitigating climate change.
compliment you.
let you know about the highs and the lows, the dreams and the reality.
make jokes and make light of my hard times.
discuss current events and how they're applicable to our lives.
get distracted all over again.
ask for more wine.
A: Comforting, empathetic, and sweet. Comfortable with those at every stage of their sexual identity development.
Worthwhile investment.
Do well being coached.
More of a strings and connection guy, but working on my primal side.
Constantly fighting, failing, and getting better at being the human I wish to be.
Learning new things is a life-long ambition.
Lots of smiles.
Ambition AND distraction levels are high with this one.
A high-functioning spectrum boy, so apologies in advance if I screw up a social interaction. Generally more sensitive to touch and noise than your average human.
Honest and trusting to a fault.
A little quirky and can talk a lot. You may just have to put something into my mouth.
No patience for racism, bigotry, misogyny, transphobia, and dismissal of privilege.
Value creativity. Poetry is my art.
Believe in democratic socialism. I believe market forces are a tool, not the end goal.
A: I enjoy that I take everyone as they are. I trust that people are coming from the best place that they can. No one acts irrationally, unless ill, and so there's always a logic behind people's actions. I bring these perspectives to my interactions with others. It allows me to be fun, light-hearted, goofy, tolerant, understanding and affable. I can form connections quickly and bring high levels of empathy. Life is more enjoyable that way.
Also, I can digest a bunch of information and understand complex things. I like my ability to go in and out of most conversations and hold my own. I'm constantly consuming information.
I like my commitment to values of right livelihood, just social interaction, and environmental and social justice.
A: Food, water, shelter, sex, warmth...Oh, we're not talking the base of Maslow's are we? Well, in that case...
