Completely unlike me; a liberal arts major and works on Broadway. Much more creative than I am - she prefers to talk about more down to earth, entertaining things (T.V. we're watching, her day working with actors/actresses, etc.) than computer architecture, and she loves being artistic (painting, drawing, singing).
That said, she's very intelligent, but not technically so. I'm the kind of person who sucks up knowledge like a sponge - she doesn't get the same kind of joy out of reading Wikipedia :).
To be clear, I love this setup. It's really wonderful being with someone completely non-technical for a host of reasons. The worst thing that comes up is that she asks me to debug her computer once in a while.
EDIT: Read the other comments. I do find she has the same sense of humor as me (I think that's really important), and I think that's really important. In situations like this I think it's really important that we're both open to different lifestyles for it to be compatible. She's very open to listening to the intricate details of a programming language, and I get pleasure out of learning how professional theatre operates (to give one example).
