*** under construction -- sort of ***

About me -- Well, first off, I work pretty crazy hours right now, but I love my job, so it's all good. It shall pay great dividends later.

So what am I doing here? Looking around, I guess. Casting a line and seeing what's out there. And also (like a lot of you) I'm at a point where the usual methods of meeting people have "jumped the shark' as they say (***Extra points to you if you actually know that expression!) Clubs are 'meh'. Pubs are nice as actual conversations are nice to have from time to time, n'est ce pas? Btw, i'm French Canadian (not from Quebec) so I don't have an accent at all. If I didn't mention it, you'd never ever know, which makes me a sleeper agent of sorts, a spy for the frogs :)

I think I'd be described by my friends as sincere, mellow, loyal, dedicated. People who don't know me well would say I'm shy, which is true at first, but it only lasts as long as it takes me to figure you out ;) My sense of humour is a hybrid of highbrow / lowbrow / very lowbrow / Sarah Silverman lowbrow. Which one you end up with depends on the mood and circumstances, I guess. I don't buy into political scene, either side really. It's Coke vs Pepsi to me. Mmm, sometimes I resist popular trends just to be contrary.

~ Things I like:
movies
books
coffee, americanoes, lattes, Mmmmmmmm
the Canada Line
fora.tv and ted.com
cooking (not claiming to be great at it, but it's fun to try)
Mad Men - it's toasted!
science fiction.
martial arts (am thinking about taking something up, not sure what yet)
surfing the net (youtube, digg, current.tv)
Bill Maher (most of the time)
sarcasm
Fringe and Lost
star trek & star wars (I was uber-geeky in a former life)
Putting a lock on someone else's bike, sitting back, and enjoying the show :) (you'd be surprised how entertaining this can be, and all for the low-cost of $15!!!!!)
my laptop, a Main Street coffee shop, and a Sunday afternoon

~ Things I dislike:
The Secret
trusting in science with religious conviction
anything Julia Roberts touches
toothpicks
Plentyoffish
Heroes (can't believe this car wreck has survived 4 seasons)
pork (will make the "occasional" exception for bacon)
Main Stream Media

You should be... you. And hopefully that does the trick. I used to think I had a type *shrug* I don't know anymore. I'm not into barflies, I guess. Not a big fan of tattoos and piercings. Just putting that out there. Called me old fashioned. The only thing I really want to put out there as an absolute DEFINITE is that I am not interested in lots of drama. Looking to avoid the Streetcar Named Desire-type of relationship, I'm just way too low-key to start screaming 'Stella!' in the middle of the night... unless I'm ordering a beer :) There are guys out there who are into that -- I'm not one of them.


If you've read THIS far, clearly you have great taste ;)

thnx for stopping by

Probably something simple to start. Like drinks. Or sushi. Something with easy exits in case of chemistry accidents, yeah? If dogs are smart enough to do sniff tests to establish compatibility, people probably should too before doing the bungee-jumping / skydiving / crazy-excursion-in-the-woods date.
