Let me know if you're Quaker(ly) or have Buddhist leanings and seek sustained safe sane relationship. You also feel foreign looking at CL.

Also don't really feel foreign looking at CL (I mean, I'm gay and out...) - but thought I'd respond to the ad.
Generally nice, gwm, 29 year old who's lived in DC for about 10 or 11 years. When not home cruising the internet, I love to do yoga, walk around, play card games with friends, and people watch - among other fun things. I work for a non-profit in grantmaking by day, and work as a writer/editor/designer by night. Some day I dream of moving to Vermont and living in the country. I've been veg (no meat, no gills) for nearly 9 years and my favorite thing to do is turn the tv off, followed closely by learn something new...
If any of this sounds remotely interesting - feel free to hit me up. To be truthful, when I see an ad on CL from a guy looking for a relationship of some sort, it's usually couched in some "Let's hook up on the second date" clause - so whether you're looking for something more, or just looking for what everyone else is looking for - I'd love to know more about you...
take care,
michael
