Ha... you sound like you'd be hella fun to hang out with!

My mind goes a million miles an hour also. Though being an introvert, I just tend to space out and drift off from boring interactions, so I seem laid-back and maybe boring. That is, unless someone shows an interest in what I'm thinking, in which case they may be drowned in a torrent of thoughts and questions. Plus, often people get me at my most exhausted and quiet because I've just run around trying to fit in everything I want to do.

While my relationships tend to be with guys similar to myself, where they're marvelously interested in what I have to say, and have something to add to it (that's what I find most attractive in a guy), I do get frustrated with trying to create and maintain friendships. As I don't have a TV or keep track of celebrities (beyond looking at tabloids when stuck in grocery store lines =P), don't have an average diet/opinion of normal foods (people talk a lot about food!), and am not much interested in fashion or gossip (ok, I love looking at runway photos, but I mostly avoid fashion because I will never find the perfect match to my imagination, so am always frustrated/disappointed with shopping), I have a hard time coming up with much to say on the typical female small-talk topics.

Though all of that doesn't really answer your question- I don't identify with "PD" as an acronym/community (started on this board out of relief at finding someplace pro-vegan but not rabidly-so), so I'm not sure if you'd consider me "like" or not.

Re: housework- for me there's a balance. I'm a visual person, and too much clutter and disorder somehow makes me irritable and unfocused if I'm forced to live with it; and sometimes the quiet activity of doing houeswork gives my mind a chance to mull over whatever I was actively working on.
