> [@Harimad-sol](#): > > As for me, I kind of sort of have a crush on someone, but I don’t see him in this thread. Yeah. I tend to keep my board crushes quiet though, because they come and they go. And then I find out they’re either: a) not a guy when I thought they were b) many, many miles away or c) not interested in women. So I just let myself have my little board crushes and then work on dating IRL. ---

Hi, **MagicEyes**! > [@MagicEyes](#): > > Okay, I’ll play. Some of you guys sound verrry interesting. > > I’m 30 something, single, but not looking very hard. I have a master’s degree in Folklore, but right now I’m working in communications for a public health program until I can find a folklore-related job. > > I like to cook (I’m an excellent baker), and I like almost any kind of food except seafood (but salmon and tuna are okay, and I do occasionally eat sushi). And I loooove chocolate. Chocolate makes me happy. 🙂 > > I have a lot of creative hobbies, so my house is always a mess. I do costumes for community theater (which isn’t as impressive as it sounds–mostly it involves spending a lot of time in thrift stores trying to find something that vaguely resembles something the character might wear). That doesn’t leave me much time to work on my own sewing projects, so I have a lot of unfinished things in my closet. I wouldn’t mind being independently wealthy so I could just quit working and make stuff! Yup. That work thing really dilutes the old creativity. > [@](#): > > I play the piano (not very well)–a little classical, but mostly ragtime. It’s just fun to play! I’m learning to play the harp, but I’ve only taken lessons for 6 months, so I can’t play much yet. I listen to mostly alternative music–I’m getting into _My Chemical Romance_, and I still like grunge. The last concert I went to was Papa Roach. > > I like long walks in the forest, animals (I have two very cute bunnies, Billie and Murray), reading (I’m trying to get caught up on Christopher Moore–I’m reading _Lamb_ right now), and sunshine. I watch too much TV (mostly CSI–but not CSI Miami–and Law & Order). I like goofy cartoons–The Simpsons, Invader Zim, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Spongebob, Looney Tunes, Pinky and the Brain (and the Animaniacs). Check, animals are okay, I pretty much ignore TV, _check_… where would life be without cartoon bizarrity? Life needs more sound effects, and I have to restrain myself from providing them sometimes. Especially at work. > [@](#): > > What I’m looking for in a man: > A good sense of humor (a little dark, but mostly goofy). > Likes to cook (I like to cook, but I like it even more if someone cooks for me!). If you cook, I’ll do the dishes! Dunno a lot about cooking… I’m the world’s third-pickiest eater, but I’m willing to learn. > [@](#): > > A little offbeat, not too conventional, snuggly, intelligent, creative, ticklish, likes music (but not rap or country). Check, check, check, check, check… uh, waitaminnit, …check. Music is a definite. :: nods :: > [@](#): > > And most important, I’m divorced, so I’m looking for someone who’s **not** like my ex! Mostly that means letting me do all the weird little things I like to do. No complaining about sewing all over the kitchen table or dyeing in the sink. Hey, the only thing that’s happen if our domiciles met is that your weird things all over the house would meet _my_ weird things all over the house, like the Legos and the cartoons and the wire sculpture and the paintings… 🙂 ---

Haha… this is like online dating, without the fees… 😃 I’m 24 male, straight. Just came off a 4-year relationship, so I’m not really looking now. But I figure, maybe in the future, a hot young female Doper will read this, so, yeah, email me. Programmer, geek, nerd, Star Wars, D&D, boardgames, computer games, you get the idea. Movies. DVDs are my life, but I do go to the cinemas regularly. I’m a pretty upbeat person. Among strangers, quiet, shy. Among my friends, loud, boisterous, arrogant. 😛 I’m usually calm and relaxed. Some might mistake this for lazy, but don’t be fooled. I’m just resting my eyes during work hours. Beer or liquor. None of that wine crap. I’m pretty much white T-shirt and jeans. A trait I picked up from Gabriel Knight. Oh, and I love Frungy. King of Sports. I doubt most girls will understand all the references I’ve made, but if you do, I want you to have my kids. 😃 ---

I do a lot of things, but I’m not really good at anything. I’ve only owned standard transmissions; except for my Cherokee, which is an automatic.

::: groan ::: I probably shouldn’t give this a shot, but what else can I lose except my dignity and reputation here? Here goes Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride… - Female, just turned 37, straight. - Blue eyes, trying to grow my hair long again (after shaving it all off) and it’s typically dyed red. - Could stand to drop some pounds, but I foresee doing that really soon, what with walking four hundred miles daily waitressing and such. - I live in East Texas. (Yes, I know.) I’m buying my own place and I have one cat. - Currently separated after almost 12 years of marriage. No kids though. - This may be where I spook potentials. Lots of previous problems. Information available upon request, triplicate. However, I will elaborate that my family is insane and I’m grateful that I’m an only child. 🙂 - I’ve got an associate’s liberal arts degree. Would you like paper or plastic? - Some of my favorite things are the color green, Aerosmith (although I like almost anything – except county), indie movies, interior decorating, baseball, Dalamations, Love’s Baby Soft, amusement parks, sweat shirts, smileys, Sue Grafton, Halloween and exotic foods. - Some of my peeves are people driving slow in the fast lane, when it’s time to clip your nails again and someone eating the last of something just because, when it was specifically saved/made for you special. ARGH. - I would love to travel everywhere. Venice is a top priority. Disneyland rates a close second. - Obviously, I have a goofy sense of humor. Need an editor when I write. Am generally pretty happy and not moody. Never (knock on wood) have PMS. I love to try new stuff. Who knows how smart I would be considered? As far as looks go, I clean up decently. Perhaps could be classified as someone who really, really likes and enjoys sex. Hell, if you had waited to give it up at 24, you’d make up for lost time too. And according to my maternal parental unit, I am possessed by a demon. I have christened him Bob, for the uninitiated. - I have some body modifications. My nose and tongue pierced, plus three tattoos. My ankle, top of my left foot and my lower back. No, I’m not really a freak, just a neo-hippie with a penchant for butterflies and balance. - Some strange stuff includes eating cherry icing from the can, still having a crush on Leif Garrett, shaving eyebrows instead of plucking them and keeping journals that I don’t use, to just name several. - Left, left and left some more. - I am OCD, member of NOW and now going to STFU. 😉 If you’re male, anywhere past 21 on and like to behave like a little kid, please look to me as a possible soulmate. My insides will forever match my childlike appearance. Long hair is a plus, but not required. Money means zilch to me, but instead all that "just if we’re together, we have everything " tripe. Oh, and due to the nature of my last failed relationship/heartbreak, I dunno if I could date another hunter or staunch republican. But I’m flexible. Good sense of humor, intelligent, compassionate and hopefully likes seafood. No one who seems to have an alummed lemon up there ass should apply. Or psycho exes. I suppose that’s all that’ll be needed for anyone not to slog through all this to read this far. As usual, sorry for rambling. That said, **Zebra** and **Bippy** sound interesting. Unfortunately, I’d probably be too old for **JoeSki**. Now all the popular kids can go back to hooking up. 😃 My email’s in my profile. P.S. I wanna go to the ballet and play lazer tag. I could even see doing that at the same time. ---
