I'd like to meet:
Who I want to meet? Hmmm.....always an interesting part of the ready-to-eat profiles. Well, I still stand by the rule of no drama and/or psychotic - well at least not over the top. But I guess I usually gravitate towards those people who are on the slightly nerdy intellectual side. No, no, not the Dungeons and Dragons type who never get out of their parent's basement and consider painting pewter valkyrie miniatures a form of hanging out with girls, and not the coffee-house conspiracy nuts who try to blame everything from Hurricane Katrina to 9/11 to Attila the Hun to the Fall of the Roman Empire on George W. Bush. People who actually use their intelligence and worldly experience to do some good in this world. And of course it never hurts if said person is also an afficionado in old-school video games (I'm talking about stuff that predates the NES, like before your parents were even dating), campy sci-fi flicks, and knows a few useless trivia facts to lighten up a conversation.More Games at arcadecabin.com | Cool Generators
