I travel. I cook. I talk a lot. I like making other people smile. I get excited about making plans. I suffer horrendous Monday-dread. I try to enjoy myself often - those endorphins are really something! I do my best not to worry about the state of the world excessively (but that's hard); I act when I can. I show respect and expect nothing less from others. I don't intentionally write profiles like they're Alanis Morrisette songs, but I hate being too earnest (it's a British thing). I'm like everyone else really, and also not at all. And I like affirming that with the connections I make. Hence me being on here.
