I am sometimes unconventional in my approach and enjoy helping others to push past what is accepted and or expected. I like to live freely, and look for fun and variety in everyday situations.

I deal imaginatively with social relationships and often have a great number and variety of friends and acquaintances. I can display great humor and optimism. I can be charming and stimulating company, and often inspire other to become involved in my projects through my infectious enthusiasm. I prefer to try to understand and respond to people rather than judge them.
