About Me

Look at me! I'm on the internets! I have a love/hate relationship with this sort of thing. As much as I like new technologies (the world is a much better place since DVD commentaries), I still find myself falling in love with the old stuff - vinyl records, old books, and especially old film cameras. I've got a whole bunch.This site allows me to stroke my ego a little bit, which people tell me I should be doing more often. So here: stroke stroke stroke. Happy?

You Are 42% Evil
You are evil, but you haven't yet mastered the dark side.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Someone who is amused by simple things, like rolling down a hill or playing frisbee for hours. Someone who loves the outdoors but also likes hanging around inside and watching movies. Someone who would rather write letters than talk on the phone. If you're an artist in any way, that's a plus. Overall, someone NICE.
The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to good manners and elegance.

In love, you feel the most alive when everything is uncertain, one moment heaven... the next moment hell.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is 100%. You are not suited for a monogamous relationship.

You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. What Are The Keys To Your Heart?
