Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
181

Coming into the thread late -

SBF, 29, Seattle.
There are pictures of my face in my livejournal. The rest of me is somewhere 5’7" and 5’8" and weighs about average for that height.
There’s also a lot of inanity and whininess in my livejournal. So I have to debate as to whether I should send people there…but that’s where the pictures are. Plus, whining there means I’m less likely to whine in person.
What else? I read. I love television and am unapologetic about it. I own more yarn than any person should - but I do use it to knit stuff, usually for other people. I like live theater. I go to art galleries and art walks. I wish I spent as much time following baseball as I did when I was little.
I’m an exercise dilettante, and I’ll try pretty much anything once (or for a short time). I’ve actually taken both curling and capoiera lessons. Fun, but neither’s my sport. I also dance (all kinds) whenever I can.
I’ll probably go back to school one day - I just need to figure out what to go to school in. My other long term ambition is to get a dog (which requires doing the things necessary to make dog ownership viable for both me and the dog.)
More info available on request.

SWF, veteran of 50 planetary revolutions,5’8", fluffier than I want to be but resolving that, social drinker, working to become a non smoker, redhead. I work too much and need a reason to change that :slight_smile: I share life with four cats who love me because I have opposable thumbs and own a can opener. I’ve been known to do a shot or two of good tequila upon occaision, and love to dance. I’m a voracious reader of most things, not a fan of tv at all. When I am feeling especially creative, I work with stained and leaded glass. Good conversation is a real treat - subject matter a non issue…I have a variety of interests that I know a little about, and one or two in which I have a more than passing knowledge base. I am always willing to learn. It keeps my brain working!
A nurse by training, I am also an advocate of complimentary medicine and find the subject fascinating to learn.
I’m fairly well traveled thanks to a career military father.
I believe my email is in my profile, but will double check that now.

Would you be cool with someone who will be totally smoke free by the end of the month?

[/quote]

Yeah, sure. Wanna meet in the Valley for dinner or in Avalon for a salad? :slight_smile:

But, IIRC, you’re a good 8 years younger than me. Are you sure you’d be interested in my almost-30-year-old self?

184

If I can make my way out to Ohio, which given the lure of Cedar Point I will be doing soon anyway. or you decide to come to Philly for the Labor Day Dopefest you’d better believe I would be taking your “almost-30-year-old self” out at least once if you’d let me :slight_smile:

What the hey, I’ve got nothing to lose by doing this, right? Please excuse my horrible writing skills as my PR agent is on vacation right now (or was he incarcerated?)

SWM, 25, 5’7", 160ish lbs, near Philly. Non-smoker, social drinker.

Intrests include sci-fi/fantasy genre, boating, surrealism, cars & drag racing, aquatic animals, all sports, and gaming (RPGs, tabletop, & computer). Top TV channels are Comcast, Discovery, History, Bravo, and Comedy Central. Enjoys the finer things in life like sculpting belly button lint and giving wet willies.

Skilled in playing guitar, bass, and sax. Can juggle proficiently. Plays golf, pool, and bowling. Left-handed. Extremely sarcastic and twisted. Can enjoy both the outdoors and the indoors, but rarely at the same time. Likes good movies and well as the bad (ever hear of Ax’ Em, Monsturd, or Plan 9?) Possesses a fantastic singing voice (in my head anyway.) Currently working as a Web Designer & Marketing Admin, but my dream job would be a groundskeeper for a golf course. Fairly complacent and cheerful, but I can also be a little egotistical and thick-headed sometimes.

And if you call within the next 10 minutes I’ll throw in this Ginzu Slicer ABSOLUTELY FREE!!

Damn, why are the cute one so far away? :frowning:

How YOU doin, Frabk? :smiley:

187

er, FRANK.
Yeah, guys dig chicks who can’t type. Gah.

188

Looking on my globe, Illinois is only about 1 inch away from here. We’re practically neighbors. :smiley:

Oh, I’m doin fine. And my self-esteem is bubbling right now :). She thinks I’m cute! She thinks I’m cute! This is the bestest day ever! Whoopee!

OK, I get it.

The “honest” posts go over better than the “all the good stuff” posts.

So here’s the bad stuff to add to mine. :slight_smile:

I talk too much.
I’m a slob.
I’m too heavy… but fixing this one fast (damn… that was a good thing. I promise it won’t happen again.)
I like playing computer games.
I live in Dallas. (Damn, it’s HOT right now) Although lately I have been travelling quite a bit to TN (have a client there)
I’m divorced. (no kids, though)
I don’t type worth a damn.
I like country music. (and just about everything else too, but the country thing REALLY gets to some people)
I am a sappy, over the top, hopeless romantic. (and yes, this has been an issue before)
I like Macs (some people take this one REAL serious)
I’m stubborn.
I like to tell incredibly stupid jokes.
I’m sarcastic.
Aww… crap. There’s WAY more good stuff than bad. I can’t come up with many more bad things. Hopefully that’s enough bad stuff. HA!

Combine all this stuff with my post back on page 1 or 2. :slight_smile:

I think all us single dopers should plan a wild mixnmingles singles party somewhere :smiley:

Hello Nurse! Damn, you’re right up my alley, my age, I just turned 30 last month, I have read a lot of Kundera, don’t smoke, only drink sometimes. I love, love, love women who wear jeans, t-shirts and no-makeup.

I also love to travel, I’ve been to Ireland this year, and also have been to all of the 48 lower states. Columbus is only like six hours away too… :smiley:

And since I said all that:

DWM, 30, I’m 6’2", around 180lbs. Longish brown hair, enjoys heavy metal music, motorcycles, travel, golf. I swim for fitness and sometimes compete. A pretty bad picture can be found here. Though I was on the road for a week so please excuse the bad hair and sun burn on the face. I also love to travel, mostly by motorcycle, and enjoy finding national parks through out the US. I’m also trying to be an amateur archaeologist.

Oh yeah and Scribble, if you happen to be into Iron Maiden I might be willing to go with you to the Columbus show in a few weeks, I will most likely be going anyway. :wink:

192

Damnit, Frank, if I was just two years older… And you’re even in my state, too! ::grumble::

193

Bah, a 5 year difference ain’t no big deal. Think of it this way, in 10 years I’d be 35 and you’d be 30. 35 & 30? No big deal. It’s all a perception thing.

194

Some of these acronyms are confusing. I know SWF (single white female) and SWM (single white male), and I assume GWM to be gay white male and GWF to be gay white female. And I believe SBF is single black female, with SBM as single black male.

And I further think that DWM and DWF are divorced white male and female, respectively, with DBM and DBF as their African American counterparts.

(Ya know, you don’t see many MWF or MWMs in here! Wonder why.)

But what the hey hey is SJF? Is it single Jewish female? Or single Japanese female? Or single jiggly female?

195

this is the funniest thing I have read all day :smiley:

So where are all the older nerds at? This is th SDMB for crying out loud, there has to be older nerds, or even young nerds, I can make pie darnit, LOL

196

I just made cookies. Anyone want some?

197

Yep dan, I will trade you, cookie for a piece of pie

198

I like pie - what kind?

The cookies are walnut chocolate chip.

199

well I got pecan and apple

Pe-cahn will do nicely. Thanks!
