I'm going to be offline, taking care of my bedridden grandmother until about Halloween. There's no internet access there, and she requires around-the-clock care that only I am in the position to give her. So if you're not busy November sometime, drop me a line!

I'm like that "secret character" in your game that is usually banned from tournaments for being too broken. You know what I mean. Not exactly the "boss character," but that one that has the least to do with the plot, but is still the most fun one to play with, and most exciting to encounter... usually taking a special code or certain requirements to "unlock."

I don't drink, smoke, use drugs, or have any kids or diseases to brag about. I'm also one of the 1% (?) of America that is currently unmedicated for anything.
__________

Who I'd like to meet:

A reasonably attractive, girl-next-door type with nice hair to play with; straight or lightly wavy preferred, between 110-165 lbs.; give or take a dime if you're really short (below 5'2") or really tall (above 5'10"). Not necessarily "high-maintenance," but somebody who can pull off a good easygoing or "simple-but-divine" style. I do find glasses attractive too, but they aren't really a must.

Or some cool, non-scrubby gaming buddies. Maybe.

Usually mail-messaging works best to reach me, if you're ever so inclined to. Feel free to take a chance with the IM; but I still prefer mail messages.

Enjoying what I can of it. And not sweating what I can't.

Trying to remain reasonably intelligent, without being too smart for my own good. There IS such a thing, you know.

Everything. I'm absolutely perfect, and my test scores here prove it. :b

I have the kind of nose girls love to kiss. I don't get it, but I like it, too. I've been accused a time or two of having sexy feet, or whatever that means!

Why girls who *aren't* looking for "anything serious" still care first and foremost about what a guy's job is.

FYI: I troubleshoot computers and networks, usually. I do a really good job too, so I'm not always busy. On occasion, I'll take a temp job to fill in some time/financial needs, when work is slow. I also do installations of stuff like Home Theater Systems.

How exactly do you move forward in life, when everything seems to be about moving backwards?
__________

Of all the things I learned in school growing up, never did I expect that "how to fight" would become the most important of them. Kind of depressing, really.
__________

This kind of thing is what my journal's about, really.

...going to bed early.

Do something about that, will ya?

My life is still an ongoing work in progress... like there seems to be one "missing step" that I'm unaware of in making it all work well. I'm not where I expected myself to be by now, that's for sure!

Sometimes, I think I'm too independent-minded for my own good; I'm so used to doing most things by myself, it's hard to imagine doing them as a partner. Some things like card games and board games don't work too well like that either, though.

I don't expect total, seamless compatibility with a partner. I don't even have half a dozen matches here over 85%!

...you aren't a weenie. And you know how to read.

ESPECIALLY if you're a non-smoking, non-drinking, drug-free girl who enjoys having real fun that doesn't involve any of the above... and you still don't have to be a TOTAL saint about it. ;)
