\*\*Who are you? \*\* I am a combination of many attributes. Flirt, mother, wife, sarcastic bitch, and probably the shyest exhibitionist on the planet. I live in St Louis, MO.  
**What do you do?** Currently I hold one of the single most brain numbingly boring jobs I’ve ever had. I am a checker at a grocery store. It took all of 2 months for me to even get bored with purchese combinations.  
\*\*What do you look like/\*\*I look pretty much like the pics on the people pages, but in boxer shorts and sporting a [sub]_grumble grumble_[/sub] pimple that’s pissing me off to no end.  
\*\*What is your sexual orientation?\*\*I am bisexual.  
\*\*Are you single?\*\*Nope married, and happily at that.  
\*\*What nationality?\*\*I’m American, but my ancestors were Bohemian, Welsh, French, Native American and a few other things.  
\*\*What are your interests and hobbies?\*\*This place, reading, movies, photography, brewing my own beer, trying to fix my old car that’s still parked in the garage.  
\*\*How old are ye?[/]I am 33.

Nice to meet you, wolf75. Welcome to the shared addiction that is SDMB.

Actuallly, Ice Wolf, wolves hunt in packs. They’re very social animals. True, you’ll occasionally get a “lone wolf”, but that’s a very rare exception, which is why it’s so often remarked upon.

I’ll tell you who I am _not_. I figure if you don’t know who I am and what I do by now, you ain’t paying enough attention . . .

**Who am I?** I’m the son of a preacher man, born on the bayou, in a little shanty-town outside of Johannesburg, livin’ la Vida Loca. \*

**What do I do?** Currently, I’m a student in the theological arts. I study and go to class during the day, and bartend at a local college bar at night. Strippers on Thursday nights.

**Where am I?** I am currently in the suburbs of metropolitan Waubeshau, WI and have been here since the time of my birth.

**What do I look like?** I am blue eyed, blond haired, with a short-cropped goatee. 5’9", 157lb, and wear a size 8 1/2 shoe (mens).

**What is my sexual orientation?** I am a monk. I don’t quite have the experience to pick a preference yet . . .

**Am I single?** As far as I know.

**What nationality am I?** I am as American as Apple Pie and Baseball, yet feel strangely drawn to the roots of my heritage in the Antarctic.

**What are my interests and hobbies?** I personally enjoy criquet on Sundays, slot car racing on Mondays, paying for hamburgers on Tuesdays, watching MacGuyver re-runs on Wednesdays, sleeping in on Thursdays, and tedious labor Fridays and Saturdays.

**How old am I?** 24, and I don’t look a day over 36.
