-First of all, if you have a black eye, DO NOT MESSAGE ME. When I see a girl with a black eye, I think, "Great, she doesn't listen". You've gotta have communication skills to talk to me.

-I'm constantly making jokes. I think the only time you won't find me joking is when I'm writing a dating site profile, because, it's hard to be funny in essay form. Who do you think I am, Jonathan Swift?

-I love animals, ants are my favorite. I know what you're thinking: He's pretty handsome.

-I do something really stupid about once a year. Like the time I drove to a nearby Ralphs to buy a birthday card and walked back because I was distracted with what I was going to write in it. Then, when it was time to go to the bday party, I thought my car was stolen.

-Yeah... good first impression... And another time, I accidentally put Del Taco's hot sauce on my fries. I said to my friend, and I quote, "I never noticed how spicy Del Taco's ketchup is...".

-I can be pretty nerdy. I play video games. I spend a TON of time reading blog articles about programming and I love slashdot.org, "News for Nerds". On the other hand, I've never played Dungeons and Dragons. Those people disgust me! Also, I love to learn. I'm a fan of Discovery, Skeptic and Psychology Magazine.

Here are some things that I hate:
-Fennel seeds. You know, the licorice-tasting seeds they sometimes put in italian sausage, pizza crust and bagels? It just doesn't belong.
-Unprocessed Tomatoes. I'm totally down with ketchup (the spicier, the better) and pasta sauce but there's something about the texture of raw tomatoes that I don't like.
-Oblivious couples that walk slowly in front of me. They always block you when you try to pass them, huh? Oh, but I don't get annoyed doing this to other people. Double standard, I know.
-Crane flies (aka mosquito eaters). Why? Because they scare the ever-living [[****]] out of me. Had a bad experience...
-Midgets. Small hands, smell like cabbage.

Here are some things I love:
-Talking about things I hate.
-Asking questions. I'm very inquisitive. Does that bother you? Does it?
-Talking about food while I'm already eating.
-The Internet: Forget what you heard about children, this thing's our future.

For the first date, I think we should meet to get some coffee, go to a cafe or go to a sushi bar.
