**oldscratch** , **Rasa** , and the rest of you who have SOs, it is unseemly gloating that has the rest of these poor saps so bummed. Let’s give them a chance to rebuild their shattered lives so they can do some gloating, too. ---

Okay, I’m not really looking, but I’m kinda bored, so this is me. I’m Kyla, I’m 22, and I live in Northern California. I’m 5’5" and have dark blond hair and blue eyes. You can see my pic on the SDPP if you so desire. I work in a bookstore but am presently looking for other employment (have an interview on Wednesday!). I graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz in March with a degree in Anthropology and a focus on Religious Studies. I studied abroad (1998-1999) in Jerusalem, Israel. I’m a Reformish Jew, but I teach Hebrew School at the local Conservative shul. I’m politically very liberal. I love to read, especially novels, kids books, history, and conceptual science stuff (don’t have the math to read anything more complicated). Oh, and I love baseball, specifically the SF Giants. I love dogs, and am allergic to cats. I’m a vegetarian and believe firmly in the power of extra hot salsa. I love to travel, except to Los Angeles. ---

Ok, I’ll play. I’m 40, widowed after a couple divorces. I live in Northern California, real NorCal, not the SF Bay Area. I have two kids. My son is 20 and in the Navy. My daughter is 12. I have 4 dogs and 9 outdoor cats. (And a 2 acre yard!) I’m looking for someone whose eyes light up when they see me. Someone who has a wicked sense of humor, even if the joke is on them. Someone who can flirt with little more than a raised eyebrow. Age, size no problem. If you are looking for a little waif girl, keep looking. Thanks! ---

Glad to see you like Gunthers’. I’ve been going there since I was 17 and it was The Belmont Lounge- A German hunters’ bar with great food. DofP has unbelievable fish and chips but the peas are yucky sometimes. What’s the LofL? Earl of LochNess? ---

L&L Tavern at Clark and Belmont. Cool little dive bar. Big Blue Man hangout. Loud, gross, sweaty, full of theatre folk. Not too bad a place. ---
