uh… **Euty** , I think most of us are posting here 'cause we haven’t gotten any fun lately. **Enderw23** , 23!!! Yikes! How’s your dad these days? 🙂 {Hey, self, did it occur to you that the number in his name MIGHT be his age? No, apparently not. Note: look for guys called Enderw43.} ---

Guess it is time for me to join the ranks since my date didn’t work out. Hi everyone!! Single, extremely white Aussie female (damn I wish I could get a tan), 24, 5’0", redhair, green eyes, no freckles, 2 tattoos(small funky ones), 50kg (sorry, can’t convert it for you) Loves reading, wandering aimlessly, the company of good friends, movies, sketching, writing poetry. I am sarcastic (definately a defense mechanism), but responds well to kindness and consideration. ISO: Male (though willing to be convinced otherwise), definately needs to be a gentleman!, comfortable with his self image, would be great if he could cook, able to amuse himself (and me), independent, demented SOH, non smoker preferable (so I am not tempted to start again), oh - and in the same country would be good, though my relocation is an option eventually. :: Sits back and waits for the emails to pile up :: Nekkid photos only available through negotiation with \*\* DPR \*\* 😉 ---

Oooh, can I be next? :rolleyes: Age: 23 Sex: Male Height/Weight: 5’11", 240 Location: Springfield, Illinois Job: Animal food-trough wiper…er, mechanical engineer. At least until I can convince myself that I can afford grad school. Hobbies: Reading science fiction, fantasy, real science, etc.; drinking; playing video games; expanding my CD and DVD collections Greatest movies ever: Princess Bride, Holy Grail, Dogma, Star Wars (all 4), Ghostbusters TV Shows: MST3K, South Park, The Daily Show Music: The Holy Triad (aka Rush); TMBG; Pink Floyd; Barenaked Ladies; classic rock in general Authors: Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Harlan Ellison, Robert Jordan, Stephen King, Michael Crichton, John Gribbin, Steven Jay Gould, etc, etc… Religion: None. But, respect mine and I’ll respect yours. OK, enough of the lists…even though I prefer that to actually revealing anything about myself. I’m…umm…weird. Or, at least I’d like to think so, because being normal would just be depressing. I’d also like to think that I’m a decent conversationalist, but that’s something y’all will have to judge for yourselves. I do have a bad habit of needing to be right about everything, though. I’m looking for someone who can hold up her end of a conversation, can make me laugh, and will think my bitter and sarcastic sense of humor is wonderful. It wouldn’t hurt if she won’t take it personally on the occasions that I want nothing to do with the world or anyone in it. She should like to go out on occasion, but not have a problem with staying in most of the time. Being devestatingly beautiful would be nice, too, of course 😉 Anyway, I’ve babbled enough. ---
