Ignorance is not knowing but having the ability to learn. Stupidity is the dedicated willfull commitment to not knowing and never learning. - Vicki McGhee *NECESSITY MANDATED DECLARATION - Not looking for friends with benefits so don't bother hunting here - Unavailable* I love varied, thoughtful, intelligent conversation so if you message with no more effort than just "hi", one less letter than ASL, I'll certainly reciprocate in kind.Nothing gets nothing after all does it not? Possible openers - interests we have in common; rooms we may have shared time in; you heard me speak and have comments or questions... You get the idea *smiles* Besides, I prefer to get to know people in a rooms so I can see how they interact with others rather than the pretense that can come when trying to impress someone one on one. I ♥ life & being under a summer sun by or in water! I'm a pretty smart cookie. ☺I've got some amazing people in my life, what more could I ask for but more of the same! Boredom is the symptom of a mundane/mediocre mind, of which I have not. I love to write, read, listen to music,go new places , meet new people have new adventures and think -hopefully to gain understanding to go with the wisdoms I stumble upon living life. If I'm idle it's due to not being able to decide what I want to do rather than not having something to do. There are not enough hours in a day to do and dream sufficiently or efficiently but I do give it enthusiastic commitment. Never forget that the imagined and dreamed lives. we live are just as vital and mandatory to living completely as your reality based life. We can't hope to dare authenticity without acknowledgement and the pondering of both.
