Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Hey there. I'm Erehwon71. Some people call me... Jeff.

I've come to hate this section of the essays. It's like in job interviews when they ask what your strengths and weaknesses are. Once I actually said, "not knowing how to answer those two questions." Surprisingly enough, I didn't get that one...

To be crystal clear, I am looking for neither a quick hookup, nor a relationship based on anything other than friendship. I'm simply here to to find friends, taking fun(lately inane)tests, and for reading profiles, which I've become addicted to. Sorry, I blame Myspace for that. Bastard.

So, if I message you, or stalk your page, or heaven forbid, IM you, you can feel safe in the assumption I want nothing more than friendship. I'm done with anything more than platonic relationships for the foreseeable future.

I love dogs, and curiously enough, cats. They love you unconditionally (no, I'm really not bitter. Ok, maybe just a little ;)). I have what I think is the sweetest dog in the world, Elphy (Elphaba), a bogle that I adopted from the county shelter, and the newest member of the Erehwon71 household, BB, a 7-8 month old Great Pyrenees.

FYI, I have absolutely no respect for people who operate puppy mills, nor for pet stores that get their dogs from them. While I can't fault you if you have unknowingly bought a puppy of questionable origin, if you are considering bring home a new forever friend, I encourage you, no I beg you to browse www.petfinder.com, or to at least give your local animal shelter, Humane Society, or ASPCA a call before you make your final decision.

*climbs down from soapbox

I enjoy acting in, working tech for, and directing community theatre. I especially like running the sound board, just in case you were wondering, and I know you were. Every Sunday, and occasionally during the week, I can be found working in the sound booth at my church.

I have a passion for all genres of music, most movies, and for going to wineries. Occasionally, I like camping, too.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Re-inventing it. Again. *sigh
Working for the Y.
Developing enough self-discipline needed to meditate without my mind wandering.
Finishing the bachelors degree (B.S.- Human Services) that I started 18 years ago.
Teaching myself to play guitar for the umpty-ninth time. It's not going so well. Apparently, you have to physically be in contact with it to cause it to make a sound.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Listening,
Getting sucked in when rehabilitating computers,
Fostering dogs,
Playing trivia games,
Losing myself in a good book,
Driving fast and eating cheese.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

My eyes, my hair, and my laugh.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Authors: David Sedaris, Piers Anthony, Wayne Dyer, Anne McCaffrey, J.K. Rowling, Eckhart Tolle, Charles Fillmore, Naomi Novik, Wil Wheaton, Terry Brooks, Donald J. Sobol, Victor Appleton, Robert Asprin, Eric Butterworth, H. Emilie Cady, Jon Mundy, Catherine Ponder, Eric Brayden.

Movies: Ben Hur is by far my favorite. John Hughes movies, Coen brothers movies, most movies with John Cusack in them, and any movie starring Jackie Chan (I'll watch Rush Hour and its sequels out of sympathy for Jackie. Also, if it weren't for the simple fact Jessica Love Hewitt is kinda cute, I may have lost all respect for him over The Jacket).

That being said, I'll watch pretty much any movie, but there's no guarantee I won't make fun of it later. Oh hell, who am I kidding? I'll probably make fun of it while it's on...

Same way with music. My taste is very eclectic. Check out my last.fm station if you need further proof. Also, right now I find myself getting into alt country. XM Radio X Country is pretty cool (said with my best Pedro voice). Wicked, Spamalot, and Avenue Q.

Anything but chicken (long story). Apple salad WITHOUT celery. Thai, Mexican, Vietnamese, Italian, Soul, ok pretty much any nationality is good.
Truth be told, I'm a big fan of Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel. I find myself saying "I'd try that" more often then not.
I could really go for some turkey chili, actually.

I'm rediscovering Eddie Izzard, too.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but I know that's not very interesting.

In no particular order, so please no wagering:

Music (and something to play/listen to it on)
Comfy shoes
Fall (the season)
My dogs, Elphaba (Elphy) and BB
The Interwebs
Close friends

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Attracting positive energy, and people who have it.

My next tattoo. No, I still haven't decided, but am heavily leaning toward a triquetra design. I'll keep all y'all posted.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Crashing from the week.
Watching a movie.
Surfing the Interwebs.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I know all the words to the songs in "The Little Mermaid", "Aladdin", and "Crazy ABC's" by BNL.

I'm crushing big time on Robin Tunney.
