I am a smart-ass, a giant nerd, and a weirdo.
My Self-Summary
I've always been hesitant about online dating, but as 30 gets
smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, I guess it might be
time to give it a better try. I'm hard working, and my job takes up
more time than it probably should, but it's still very important to
me. Do people actually read these things? Don't they just look at
pictures and then decide? So I could really just say anything here.
Like I don't trust people who don't like "Family Guy." Or who
really like Jennifer Aniston movies. If anyone has actually read
this and is offended, I invite your angry comments.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm a newspaper editor, so pretty much my life consists of reading
stories about people who do ridiculous things, getting angry over
said ridiculousness and then making some snide/offensive/mean
comment about it. I bought a house a few years ago, so I guess I'm
really trying the grownup thing right now.
I’m really good at
Board games, trivia, laughing inappropriately, making stupid faces,
my job, remembering birthdays. Oh, and competitive yacht racing.
One of those isn't true.
The first things people usually notice about me
That I'm staring at them -- um, I mean, that I'm funny. Yes.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I listen to a lot of maudlin, whiny crap. But also, Beyonce!
Because I read all day at work, I don't really read for pleasure,
but I am a fan of anything by Malcolm Gladwell and Barbara
Ehrenreich-types.
The six things I could never do without
Probably food, water, air ... and, uh, my DVR? ... I also really
like that curly kind of pasta, you know where the sauce gets all
into the folds; isn't that stuff great?
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Why the people who do the local news on TV can't read.
If journalism will still be around in 10 years.
How Kevin Costner keeps getting work.
What my grandparents were like at my age and if they would like me
now.
If that Internet thing is here to stay.
On a typical Friday night I am
Working. Working like a dog, by which I mean editing and laying out
a newspaper.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
When I was a kid, I sometimes would go to friends' houses and break
their toys by accident, then pretend that my mom was calling me for
dinner.
You should message me if
You have any interest in an intensely neurotic but oddly sweet
smart-ass, and if you think "to message" is a verb.
