Fancy yourself interesting? Then I'm interested.

First and foremost: I'm a writer, I'm intelligent, I'm athletic, and I know what I want and am accustomed to getting it.

My job is to get people's attention, and I do that by writing advertising copy by day, and fiction by night. I do have to warn you that, as a writer, I'm always observing. The scene, the people, the place, are those two on a date, why is that person walking funny... and if you're interesting, you might just find a description of yourself on one of my pages. Real people are the best characters.

I wouldn't say I'm a self improvement nut, but... well, ok, I AM a self improvement nut. My life gets better every day, and I like it that way. If a day goes by and I haven't learned or experienced something new, then I consider that day wasted. Everyone has their rituals and routines (mmmm, Starbucks Grande Nonfat Chai with a shot of espresso every Friday morning before work), but I'm not interested in people who get home every day and watch the same TV shows, think the same thoughts, and dream the same old dreams. Get out there and do something, damnit.

I'm definitely NOT into constant emailing back and forth. Life's too short. I'd much rather talk on the phone to get to know someone. To prove it: 214-505-3938.

And here's a bonus: a test! Since girls seem to like messaging without REALLY telling me anything about themselves, you can answer the 10 multiple-choice questions I've put together below. That way, we actually have something to TALK about, besides "oh, hi, you seem cool."

It's a pre-packaged question meant to figure out if I'm a wild/outgoing person by trying to box me into this artificial perception that skinny dipping is somehow interesting, when in fact it's just a childish flight of fancy entertained by vapid teenagers that has no relation WHAT SO EVER to how interesting I am. ("Yes.")
