instant kinship (from kismet09)

[purlewe]

kismet09 was writing about this in her journal and it made me think. About how I meet people and if we connect on a broader level. It is funny b'c my friend Bess called it "Being one of us." Knowing instantly that you share a history with this peron you just met. Being able to connect with a person based on an interest or characteristic and finding a true blue friend.

I feel connected to people who...


---know how to relax, but also when to work.
---love to travel
---love to learn
---can be extroverted, but know how and when to be alone
---are adventurous eaters
---laugh alot
---love animals
---have a hobby they are passionate about
---knit/spin
---can sing or play an instrument
---read voraciously
---are creative either by making, or doing something in their life that produces art.
---people who try to go green
---people who question authority, esp if that authority is being overbearing
---people who try to make healthy food choices like csa/localvores/chemical free food. But who also know that sometimes nothing is better than a plate of food that isn't good for you.



What are some of yours?

I found your list so true tho, I mean my friends are all aspects of me.. or some aspect I wish I had in me. (like I adore musicians even though I no longer play...) so thanks for sharing that!!

-- people who are willing to try it - whatever it might be
-- people who recognize the value in a bit of hedonism!!!
-- people who appreciate listeners (because I am one- lol)

way too much thinking! Oy!

- people who don't take life too seriously
- people who can laugh at themselves
- people who are able to think for themselves, but don't get all uppity about it
- people who appreciate science as an art and in art
- people who like animals (well, DUH!)
- people who can knock me upside my head nicely when I'm an ass or need to get out of a mental tunnel
- people who are not afraid to say "wow" about simple things that inspire them
