Some consider me outrageous, but I outgrew acting for the sake of shocking people many years ago. In truth, I'm really not outrageous at all. Rather, I tend to have strong opinions, and have no reservations when it comes to sharing them.

I'm idealistic, but not in a young-and-naive sort of way. Rather, I see the evils in the world and would rather work to cure them instead of merely complain about them. I work as a do-gooder sort of lawyer. Not because I'm THAT much of a do-gooder, but because it's the most fun. My clients are poor, convicted felons, often addicts, and I love 'em more than most "normal" people.

A former wild child, I am now more boring that I used to be. I sit home on Friday nights, eat dinner with djcubanb, and watch stupid movies. Right now we're on a House kick. I adore House. I wanna marry House and make little, crippled, opiate-addicted House babies with him.

I abhor bad grammar, yet love writing in sentence fragments. Like this.

Working. Resting. Playing.

That old commercial in the '80s told me tha "A Milky Way a day helps you work, rest and play." I may just have to start heeding this advice.

Not taking life too seriously. Most fights, most conflicts are based on self-created drama. If most folks were to bring it down a notch, they'd see more humor and less tragedy.

I have no idea what people notice first about me. I'm still a little amazed that people notice me at all. Because I definitely don't notice them noticing me. I'm oblivious that way. I'll walk down the street, and a girl friend'll say, "Dude, that guy was SO checking you out." And by the time I drag my head out of my ass, he's gone.

I suppose I should start asking folks what they notice first about me.

"Excuse me, but what did you notice first about me?" I doubt they'd be honest. They'd probably say something like,"your glowing smile," when the real answer is "your boobs."

I used to love reading. But I find that I don't do it much anymore. It has been taking me forever to get through books. I read a few pages at night, and fall asleep.

My friends have been trying to figure out what sort of movies I like. One says, "It's the heartwarming ones you dig." Except that I love The Big Lebowski, which is clearly not heartwarming. I have other friends who are convinced that I like bad '80s movies ironically (think Mannequin). Truth is, I don't like 'em ironically; I really do LIKE them. Same goes for my taste in music.

I dig ethnic cuisine, but hate Italian food.

People put such ridiculous things for this answer. Like iPods and computers and ATM cards and other such ridiculous things. "Sex" also seems to be a popular answer. So here's a practical answer:

(1) food (2) shelter (3) clothing (4) clean drinking water (5) a renewable energy source (6) indoor plumbing

Ayn Rand and how much I hate her. Her ideas were all a big deal when her novels were written, but it's been decades since then; her glory days have passed. Also, her work is horrendously written.

The people who put "sex" as one of the six things they could never do without. I hate them almost as much as I hate Ayn Rand. Seriously people, while sex is fun and pleasurable and oh-so-very awesome, it's not a necessity of life.

Sometimes I consider cannibalism. I'm of the opinion that humans probably taste wonderful. If we (humans) started to eat each other, we'd probably not be able to stop. I bet babies would taste the best, what with their tender goodness and whatnot. I brought this up at work the other day, and my colleagues agreed (we are lawyers, after all). I also brought this up to my husband. He told me I'd likely taste better than he because I'd stew in my own fat juices. I thought this was very sweet of him. He's good that way.

Recovering from the week. I come home, get dinner cooked for me, and hang out at home. Unless there's something really exciting to do. Saturday is my fun night.

My husband Nair'd his crotch after I told him that I thought it'd be sexy. Oh, what a tragedy. His peener was so sad.

You live close by and wanna make new friends. I like new people. We have lots of shindigs at the house (BBQs in the summer and such), so you should come if you live close by. Also, write if you like poker.
