(Slight update for All Hallow's Eve, 2008! How exciting!)

OK. I promised the teeming masses of profile readers that I would have a new profile up by May 1, and here it is a couple of weeks later, and I've not made good on that promise. Fortunately for me, the teeming masses exist only in my imagination... otherwise, I might feel bad.

The downside to redoing my profile has two main components. First of all, I'm sorry to see the old one go. My previous one wasn't exactly "Love Boat"-funny, but it had its moments. (Was the Love Boat a comedy? I think it had a laugh track, right? Or was that a live studio audience that they brought out on a ship? Was the Love Boat really filmed on a ship, and do they still say, "... was filmed in front of a live studio audience." before the start of sitcoms? Why do I have so many questions?)

The second downside is that I tend to ramble. Which is a news flash, right? After that last paragraph, you either picked that up, you are so enamored of my pics that you're willing to lap whatever drivel I'm willing to write up in the hopes of mentioning it in a message to me, or you don't speak English very well. (Incidentally, I haven't updated the figures lately, but I did a survey on this topic and the results were split just about evenly between those that had picked it up (49.7%) and non-English speakers (49.4%). The remaining 0.9% consisted of men in their late 70's... it's an odd demographic, but I really tend to appeal to it for some reason.)

So should I be serious? Should I be?

Hmm. I'll give it a shot.

I used to work in Seattle at a creative agency. I worked strategically with interactive media. I didn't dig it and I saved up and I am currently looking at options... I picked a PERFECT time to change jobs, right? I mean, what could possibly go wrong with this economy?

I'm an attorney by education and I've got my bar card, although I don't practice. I also managed to go to school whilst working and got my MBA. Whoop-dy-do. If anyone wants to borrow letters to put after their name, let me know. I've got some extra.

This site is a hot-and-cold thing for me. I used to be much more active on this site than I am now, and I'm sure that I've posted about a hundred things in the forums that I wish I hadn't, but oh, well.

I'm very easygoing. I don't get rattled easily, but I don't get easily excited, either. It's sort of a double-edged sword. Of apathy. Or, more charitably, of self-control.

What am I looking for? Who do I want to meet? Someone smart, fun, funny, attractive, and fit. Someone who is loaded so they can pay for me whenever we go out. Someone with a good enough sense of humor to know that I kid around... quite a bit.

On that front: 1 point to you if you figured out my "mug shot" pic isn't real. Extra credit if you can tell me whose real mug shot I stole the numbers in the picture from...

Finally: I don't message people very often. Or, rather, I try to reply to everyone that sends me a message but I don't send an unsolicited message that often. If you get one from me, please understand that it's kind of a big deal from my perspective and please CONSIDER responding. I pretty much guarantee you'll be happy you did.

The weather is getting better, and that means one thing: monster truck rallies!

I kid (see About Me, above).

Good weather means a good opportunity to walk around in Seattle without fear of getting rained upon. I like to check out a new restaurant or bar, or go down to the water, and walking there is so much more interesting than driving.

Unless I'm tired, or you're wearing really high heels (which I'm rarely opposed to, just as an FYI). Even then, though, a case could be made that it could still be interesting.

Have I answered the question? I can't remember what I was going to say. I got distracted by the high heels...
