• Honesty

Because I've known plenty of liars, myself included, and they're exhausting and boring.

• The ability to be up front

Because so few people are anymore.

• Humility

Because ego makes for dull morons.

• Humour

Because what is life without laughs.

• Intelligence

Because genuinely stupid people (and I'm not talking book-smarts, you can be book-smart and still fail at life) make for painful interaction.

• Quirk

Because I love to be surrounded by people that are far more interesting than I am. And I love people that pique my interest, challenge what I think I know.
