I'd like to meet:

Aside from being an interesting person; I'm almost reliable, nearly pragmatic and close to astute. I asked my ex-housemate about my three best traits....

Lori (my housemate ) says" Hmmm your three best traits - Let's see here - your smart without being condescending, very funny, and trustworthy.... and you look good in a skirt."

My friend Kevin says "Damn you and your 'fancy' site..."

apparently I elevate cheesiness to a new level. For instance I enjoy going to goth clubs and breaking out into the swim, Charleston, or making hand puppets in the spotlights. I have an incapability to take things too seriously (if you do it clouds your judgment) I know a lot of expensive words but am unable to spell them. I don't know/care if you are famous by other people's standards. I don't like to watch anything poorly written on television (that kinda limits my t.v. experience) although every now and then I'll give it a chance and become mockingly angry at the television before throwing in one of my movies from my movie wall.

- lori says: "-are you mentioning that you're a freak as well? -but not in a bad way! it's not like you'll run after them and sniff their exercise-bicycle seat or anything."

let's see... I love art like some people love music, I love music like some people love art. I'm not as smart as I wish I was. I like to learn new things, but can barely manage the patience to remember them. I am a jack of a couple trades and master of none. I'm working on my "stick-to-tiveness" (and also, on the side, my "sticky-ness.")

I have an on going passionate love-affair with the female form, which has been a contention point with my past girlfriends. they can't seem to grasp that some people might not have a single "favorite song/movie/food" their whole life. Not that Moonlight sonata/BladeRunner/Pizza don't strike chords of extreme emotion in me. I'm not saying that i am an indecisive simp. Just that my tastes run the gamut and while i am attracted to certain... lets say movies, I don't necessarily have one favorite, but if there was a fire there is certainly a particular folder of dvd's that i'd grab.

sometimes I think too much, it will keep me awake at night, silent at parties, make me miss the bus. in an effort to excise the problem I have tried to write/sketch it all down but with no success. I can sympathies with Barry Ween , but at the price of modesty. Rather I've since concluded that it's a case of introversion and have taken steps to "come out of my shell" since high school, and after some years I'm proud to say i've had a bit of success.

jesus, I guess I had more to say than I thought. That or I must have something I should be doing.

wait, what?! I am NOT that evil! Thoes Questions just asked about harmless fun!
