People say that I am:
|
|
Shy in groups, motormouth in one on one situations; love silly humor, word-play, puns; can't really sit still for a long time (except with a book); kind of insensitive, but well-meaning; almost never get angry or offended and am perplexed when others do; enjoy a good heated argument about religion or politics over the dinner table; deeply committed to personal responsibility, but don't believe in "growing up"; am capable of and have a propensity for droning on in an extended Freudian self-psychoanalysis, and also enjoy hearing others do the same.
Be careful, or I'll tell you my life story on the first date, despite all the advice the give about not doing so.
In other words, please interrupt me.

What's bothered me?
They sit too much. People should exercise more, and in ways that are fun. That means walking to/through the park as much as it means whitewater rafting. I love a good movie, but one every two days is all the sitting I can take. Especially so when my job is an inside job.

I am looking for:
|
|
These are in order of importance. (I'm not listing "attractive," because I believe dating someone you aren't attracted to is like lying - just terrible policy. Being attractive to your g/f b/f is probably the the first requirement though.)
1. Happy - You should be happy most of the time, or you'll confuse me.
2. Active - Seeing a gorgeous sunset on top of a mountain is fun, but it's better to have someone to share it with. Be there or be square.
3. Smart - I prefer to date people who are smarter than I am, but don't be intimidated; I'm no Einstein, so it's not that hard.

My funniest life experience:
|
|
Once my friend and I built a big trebuchet and it threw its first rock (about 15 pounds) straight up.
The irony of the King of Long Range Siege Weapons destroying itself on the first shot never really cleared.
Also once I took a picture of myself instead of my friends because I thought they had given me a "left-handed camera." I wasn't even drunk. Embarrassing, but funny.

I am looking for a personality like:
|
|
That's a-what I like.
People who laugh easily make me feel comfortable being as silly as I am. Predictably, I also tend to put people at ease because I effectively incapable of being very serious for very long.

Are you willing to compromise in difficult times and situations?
|
|
1. Compromise is voluntary, so this question is kind of flawed, but not just semantically. I have found that, when make a compromise "without wanting to" you usually end up in worse shape than if you had just been stubborn.
That being said, I like the whole concept of compromise, and try to bend to keep the wheels greased. Flexibility is key to compromise, and aside from on key issues like education, liberty, punctuation errors, and (most importantly, and plagiaristically) the pursuit of happiness, I am pretty flexible.
