PLEASE NOTE: I'm not looking for anyone/anything from this site. I'm happily spoken-for and only keep this profile active to critique friends' profiles and check out the profiles on which they want second opinions.

I've kept my inactive profile, below, as a record for my self.

*****

No expectations. No half-truths. No apologies.

I feel as though a site like this one is perfect for me right now. Lots of time-killing goodies. Lots of neat and pretty people around. But, generally, a pretty casual environment of just communicating and taking things as they come. So, a microcosm for where I'm at in the world of relationships.

As I watch my friends settling down or getting married and sometimes having kids, I know that I'm not at that stage. Too many things to do. Too much of a need to be able to transplant my life if that's what the universe offers me. So, someone with any long-term possibility would have to be equally busy and driven and whatnot... but I'm happy just to get to know people and interact and take it one day and one moment at a time.

(Throwback Three-Adjective Headline: I am artsy, heartsy, and smartsy.)

Mild-mannered office worker by day.

Theatrical by night.

Biweekly paycheques and a job I don't think/talk about after hours are lovely... until I'm paid sufficiently to indulge in my passions and am still able to do things like enjoy dinners out.

filling in these white boxes. You just tap the keyboard and... well... you see what I mean.

My hair and/or my laugh.

Preface: I'm only going to list a few, but mix 'em up from time to time... 'cause I'd prefer the thought of interacting with you if I catch your eye rather than you spending that time reading huge lists.

Authors: Robertson Davies, Hugh Laurie, Chuck Palahniuk, Tom Robbins, Henryk Sienkiewicz

Movies: Across The Universe, Big Fish, Mystery Men, Serenity, Stardust, Wall-E

Television: Big Bang Theory, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Dexter, Extras, Firefly, Hell's Kitchen, House, M.D., Slings & Arrows

Music: (insert cliché, but fitting, 'everything' answer here)... Right now, I have Muse's 'Hysteria' in my head.

Food: I'm totally a foodie. Almost always up for trying something new/exotic. Definitely a fan of Indian, Japanese, and Thai cuisine. All of that, though, doesn't preclude my connoisseur-esque approach to Bangers & Mash, Clam Chowder, or Cheesecake.

(take special note that this section is not entitled "The ONLY six things without which I could never do" - for both giving me a loophole and noticing that there's a grammatical... inconvenience therein)

- music, theatre, musical theatre, theatrical music... and other permutations and combinations thereof.

- men's studies and 'masculinity'

- NFL football and the Buffalo Bills, specifically

- learning Polish and Norwegian.

trying to make it atypical. When it's the weekend, I generally need to shake my sillies out. Things like playing pool and drinking are never out of the question.

I have a secret dream of some person who knows me, with complete sincerity, in conversation with someone whom I've never met, referring to me using the exact phrase, "My boy's wicked smart," complete with an awful South Boston dialect.

you want to see more words from me... 'cause I'm pretty good with them as a medium, if I do say so myself.
