Get in touch, I don't bite!

My friends say I am genuinely a nice person. But then they would say that. They are my friends. It nevertheless is true. I am also intelligent (if not always smart), honest (but tactfully so),curious (particularly about people who fascinate me), funny (I hope), modest(believe it or not), sensitive, and empathetic (yes, those are two different qualities). I laugh quite a bit (including at myself), but I can also be serious and intense. I am warm, playful, affectionate, and faithful (makes me sound like a dog). I can even be silly. I enjoy spending time with people (more with one person or a small group than at large parties), but I am also comfortable alone. And I never speak in parentheticals.
