Actually, I never have been, but I’m working on it.
Tripler -
Travel, eh?
I’m sending my extension.
DAMN! DAMN! DAMMITDAMMITDAMMIT! dpr, babe, you KNOW you’re the one for me. Just get back on the computer! Get on the phone! SOMETHING! I girl’s got needs too, y’know! 
::longing sigh::
smooches MikeG
I think yer cute, hon. And nice, and special. hugs
Its OK Nym you know I love you and as DPR’s adopted sister I will look out for your best interests and scare off the competition. Not that they could compete with you anyway grins
yeah, yeah, yeah…I’m a procrastinator.
here goes 
SWF, former redhead(it changed on it’s own, I promise), blue eyed southerner. Likes cars(fixing them, driving them, just being around cars), science fiction, roller coasters and generally having a good time, ISO SM to hang out with, explore Atlanta(hey, I’ve been here a year, and still haven’t been to Stone Mountain).
I’m also currently seeking a new crush, so let me know. 
I may not be the most romantic doper on the board, but at least I’m English. Lsura. How about I send my virtual private jet across the country to Atlanta. It’ll whisk you to New Orleans where my helicopter will take you to my oil rig way out in the Gulf. Bet you’ve never been out to a rig for a date?
PS You’ll have to hurry, as I’m flying to London on Friday
I am not your roommate…Though I hear your roommate likes to pretend to be female…what’s up with that? off subject. Everything is true, well acttually I am an assistant librarian, but close enough 
I did not know that my sig came from a song…I stole it from a friend and modified it. I swear it is not a trick.
Well, assistant librarian is good enough for me! (Much more than good enough, really!)
[Geez, why isn’t there a smilie with hearts for eyes?]
Sooooo … my email is stopthelies@hotmail.com, if ya ever want to drop me a line …

Man, it had to be you. And do you have that sexy British accent? Those are just so… swoonable. Would you say naughty for me? I wouldn’t even need romance then.
Send the jet on over. Who cares about work?
naughty naughty naughty
The plane’s on it’s way and the helicopter is all warmed up. I’ll have the cook make extra grits in the morning.
Well fuck, there go my shot’s
SWM, 31, 6’1", New York City.
I’m an aspiring writer and aspiring computer jockey who hails originally from the upper Ohio Valley. I’ll never shake my Rust-Belt roots and I doubt I could even if I tried, so if you’re looking for a typical New Yorker, look elsewhere. I’m literate and I like this quality in others. I’m kind of shy. My eyes are blue and I like to ride my bike, and I’m not particularly religious. I don’t mind if anyone else is, as long as their religion doesn’t mix with their politics.
I’m looking for a girl about my age to linger in Manhattan with, to cruise museums and explore art-house cinema, to discuss books and the world with, and to make slow, tender love to. You cannot be infuriated by leftist politics, or else you’ll be infuriated by me. I am willing to infuriate, if necessary.
Interested? Meet me in Greenwich Village for coffee. If that goes well, we’ll go to The Strand, maybe, and see where that leads.
BlackKnight:
Dude, what are you talking about? Not funny? Are you nuts? You are the author of one of the finest one-liners I have ever read on the SDMB. I still laugh when I recall it. For all the curious, here is one of the funniest comedic gems on this board.
You seem to hold Silver in a high esteem. Of course you do, we all like her. Now, why is that? Because of her looks? I believe that most people here have not seen her (I am assuming her picture is in the People Pages but I am too lazy to check those out :rolleyes: ). So, what is so special about her? She is nice and, most importantly, she is genuine. A person like that isn’t shallow or self-aggrandized, as she herself has confirmed. And if she were, which we all know she is not, she would indeed be out of your league, but not for the reasons you think. You see, if that ridiculous speculation were true, she would not be the nice person you envisioned and, as such, not worthy of you; out of your league to cite your own words, or, more accordingly, YOU would be out of her league.
And, dude, when talking about love, leagues don’t exist anymore. Or else, how could you explain Drew Barrymore and Tom Green?
Silver Fire is the fucking shit.
Since my previous post deviated from the OP and bordered on the line of hijack-ism, I am declaring myself officially available.
::female dopers cheer in ecstatic delight upon reading the news::
Or not…
Vital stats are forthcoming:
I am from Costa Rica and am looking for an American wife to achieve citizenship.
::great start, got a smooth joke in, damn I’m good. 
::
Damn it, who am I kidding? That was lame! Please excuse me for the stupid “joke” but, as a requisite for being allowed to post, I am required to make at least one ridiculous commentary on every post. Oppps, I did it again! Damn!
Seriously now (I hope):
–I am 24. SWM.
–5 9", 150 pounds. I would have been taller but my excessively heavy, neuron-packed brain constantly pushes my body downward, thus limiting my growth. Yeah, I know, yet another lame joke. :rolleyes:
–LOVE movies, especially romantic or heart warming stories. I also like flicks where a lot of stuff gets blown up. :rolleyes:
–LOVE Christmas. Yesterday I saw my 2 favorite X-mas movies: All I want for Christmas and Scrooged. If you have not watched the first, please do. It’s awesome.
–Full of curiosity, always eager to learn new stuff.
–Full of shit, always willing to make the most stupid, ridiculous of jokes. :rolleyes:
–Odd mix of intellectual maturity and joyful inmaturity.
–Affable. Love to laugh. Don’t mind to laugh at myself as long as no one makes fun of my third testicle.
–Apparently, I am good looking. I say that ’cause, until 2 years ago, when I started to wear contacts, I looked pretty dorky. Now, I am kind of handsome, which is cool, if not useful. Else I would not be posting here.
–Like Enderw23, I am not good at starting conversations with girls without the benefit of a formal introduction. I am not shy, I am way past that stage. I am normally very talkative and fun to be around. I just don’t know how to break the ice with the ladies. Kinda when you are a kid who is hesitant to dive into the water. :rolleyes:
–Honest, respectful, genuine. What you see is what you get. Or, in this case, what you read in my posts is what you get.
–Favorite song: Imagine. Yeah, I am somewhat of an idealistic, romantic dreamer.
–Favorite movie: The Matrix, Star Wars, Field of Dreams. Did I say movie? I meant movies. They all rock!
–Favorite romantic movie: Star Struck
–Favorite shows: Dawson’s Creek, Friends, Roswell, Jeopardy, MNF, The Simpsons.
–Likes: movies, sports, music, science, trivia games.
–Hobbies: running, posting on the SDMB. Is posting a hobby?
–Love smilies. I guess that is clearly obvious by now.
And I am not as stupid as this post would indicate. I swear!
Assuming someone is interested (and that’s a big if :D), I accept nothing less than this
For those who were patient enough to read my over-romanticized idealizations, fear not! As long as you are sweet, have a beautiful, sincere smile, and are willing to sit on the couch with me on Saturday nights to watch a romantic movie, and afterwards do, well, you know… I am yours. ***
Not to be too picky, but respectfulness to other peoples’ ideas and capacity to hold an interesting conversation are qualities I greatly appreciate.
Almost forgot the most important thing: you must provide me with a nice sig line. Please! I badly need it!!!
***If you thought that I was talking about sex, I must clarify I was not. I was referring to cuddling around, exteriorizing our feelings, and being sweet to each other. Now, if you insist on having sex, who am I to refuse?
My sig has gone on strike. :eek:
Merry Christmas, dudes and dudettes!!!

Worst Moment(s): two years ago: Coming home from a business trip to find a note and a ring…actually, last year: hearing that a friend, and Marine colleague, died in a automobile accident at the age of 25 (the first person I’d ever known to die). R.I.P. Brian, Semper Fi
Oh, and I’m single, never married/no kids, 6’3” & 220# w/ blue-green-gray eyes (one of which has a brown wedge across the top 1/3rd of it), brown hair that turns sandy (color, not granular) in the summer. Mildly anal-retentive and/or verbose. Romantic, affectionate, snuggler and spooner. Endurance limited to 2-3 sexual interludes per night plus up to 2 the following morning, 80 minutes max per session. Unlimited day-time rendezvous and oral-sex (not limited to day-time). Willing to try new things.
Looking for: SF, 25-33, 5’ – 6’1”, interested in most of the things listed above, good sense of humor, can handle me making an ass of myself, as I seem to put my foot in my mouth somewhat often and doesn’t mind snoring and sleep apnea; double-jointed red-heads and heiress’ a plus.
You flatter me greatly, but I can’t take total credit for that joke. Sure, I was the first to say it aloud, but you know everyone was thinking it!
Pefect! My last two significant others have been somewhat older than I am, and you can see where that’s gotten me. In the interest of trying something different and in hopes of finding someone who can keep up with me, I have targetted 24 as my ideal age.
There are few things I like better. Some, but few.
A surprisingly difficult combination to find in either gender, by my experience.
Absolutely would love to, although I’ll require some training in the rock climbing department. I’ll also go biking, canoeing, fishing, camping, snowmobiling, would like to try sky-diving, the list goes on…
One of my many demands as well. The most important one, in fact.
Okay, this one may be slightly subject to opinion. Regardless, the situation will improve in just over two weeks as I will either be able to see reasonably well or else will be blind, but either way I won’t be wearing these dorky glasses any more.
Beautiful. I should add that I do have the ability to fake sophistication on demand.
I’ve got this place about an hour out of town, in the sticks. It has a creek running through, and I built a deck over the creek. Best place in the world for a picnic. Not a bad place to frolic in the creek either.
It’s not so bad, darlin’. Granted, it would be difficult for us to be any farther apart and both be earthlings, but do not despair for this is where the good news begins. Australia is the one place on the planet that I would most like to visit. Naturally, finances have been holding me back. But I could probably scrape together airfare, if I had a place to stay and someone to show me around. So I’ll jet over, you show me around, and during this time we will inevitably fall deeply in love (the only possible conclusion, based on the information above). Eventually I’ll have to return, but then, if I may quote you one last time, **
There. A brilliant and flawless plan, and a journey that I simply cannot wait to embark on.
MWM ISO single bald dwarf (gender nonspecific). My build is a cross between Andre the Giant and Herve Villechez. Interests include biting the heads chickens, summoning lesser demons and staring at sand. The interested party should be willing to experiment with vegetables, have tight sphincters, and like Barry Manilow.
