First of all, I am honored and flattered that you want to know me well enough to check out what lies behind the link you just clicked.  You may have clicked it to find out what I mean by "engagement."  Engagement is an interaction that cultivates a mutual interpretation that there is something very intense about the exchange.  Although I strive for what most people would consider neutral to positive engagements, I am capable of enjoying engagements that most people would consider negative.  I often feel at least a bit frustrated that most of the people I interact with fail to engage me either because it would be difficult for them to do so, or, more commonly, because they have no desire to do so.  Engagements don't even necessarily have to lead to relationships with mutual expectations.  They are, however, situations that are a significant part of what I live for.  Thus, don't ever be surprised by a personal or unusual question from me--it is probably founded in my desire to be engaged.
