I am bright, shiny, and not a zombie.
My Self-Summary
I'm old enough to know better, but I still manage to get away with
things. I've been called intellectually arrogant, which doesn't
bother me because it's probably true and probably justified. I love
karaoke, reading in bed, and old school PC RPGs.
I'm not looking for a serious relationship right now, and anyone
who approaches me with the mindset of wanting to settle down will
quickly be told to look elsewhere. However, I'm open to almost
anything and a firm believer that relationships tend to seek their
own level. I'm not afraid to walk away from something that isn't
working, but since I'm not looking for the LOVE OF MY LIIIIIFE, I'm
pretty accepting of
quirks, foibles and imperfections.
I want to be with someone who makes me laugh a lot and who isn't
ambivalent about being with me.
What I’m doing with my life
I used to be a journalist, but print media is dying and I think I
wanna be a nurse when I grow up. Or maybe a dominatrix. Hmm.
I go to school occasionally. I spend a lot of time worrying, but
I'm trying to stop doing that. I talk a lot, but I also listen
well. I don't have a job, but my disability claim is being
considered. I may soon get compensation for being broken. Yaaay. I
have depression, social, anxiety and a
bad attitude.
I’m really good at
I'm a three time spelling bee champion (1993-1995) and have an
excellent vocabulary. I can also do some interesting
contortions. I make
excellent
mashed potatoes.
I can probably make you laugh.
I rock at
karaoke.
Sometimes.
The first things people usually notice about me
That I'm sort of a know-it-all, especially in a classroom setting.
Or that I'm
singing. I don't know.

But I'm also down with vegan and vegetarian stuff. I love sushi and
Thai food. I'm very picky, but I'll try almost anything.
The six things I could never do without
Comfy shoes, comfy
bed, bathtub, mashed potatoes, good pair of
jeans, books.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Human relationships. Sexuality. Whether my ass looks too big in
these pants.
On a typical Friday night I am
Reading. Bathing. Getting ready for bed. Wishing I had something
good to do on Friday night.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
My B.O. tends to smell like onions, and I enjoy that.
You should message me if
DO NOT MESSAGE ME IF: You are over 40 (unless you're really hot
shit, in case, why not try?) you live far away, we don't have a 80%
or higher match percentage, you suspect I'm out of your league, you
just want to "chat" (especially if you're over 40, live far away,
and have a low match percentage with me.)
DO MESSAGE ME IF: You're awesome and articulate. You try to spell
things correctly. You're not afraid of being loved. You're not
afraid of loving back. And you don't think love means ownership.
Because I've done that, and I'm soooo over it.
You're not scared of girls. I can smell fear. It angers me.
You must be wickedly intelligent and fiercely funny. Otherwise, we
won't have a lot to say to each other.
