This is so kooky, trying to essentially “sell” yourself to a bunch of strangers, but I’ll give it a whirl (you can probably get a better "feel" for who I am from my crackspace account: my space/stueyb)…
I’m a kid at heart. I’m fairly outgoing, but as TS Elliot put it, it is a “face to meet the faces.” Deep down I’ve got a bit of a shy streak running through me. I’m a tad lazy at times, and pretty mellow (or at least I like to think of myself as such… perhaps I’m mistaken as our own view of ourselves rarely matches completely with reality).
I enjoy music (I play baritone saxophone, harmonica, and working on learning keyboard for a little local pop/rock band), and reading (literature, history, philosophy, theology, and poetry). I also enjoy the outdoors immensely, but rarely have opportunities to venture outside of this city with a short memory. I'm also a bit of a goofball, so if you're after someone who is always serious, I'm not the hombre for you.
The main thing I’m looking for is someone with a good sense of humor, and also has that priceless ability to seamlessly weave a conversation from the philosophies of Kant to the shenanigans of Kermit, and is able to enjoy moments of silence without a sense of “awkwardness.” Also, someone who is as willing to “go out” on the town as they are to stay in and watch a movie.
I’m not necessarily looking for “the one,” but I’m not adverse to the idea of finding them. Mostly, I’m just looking to meet a good person who I can enjoy “life” with. If I happen upon something more… hooray.
And most important, here's a dancing green banana emoticon. I don't know why, but the bloody thing is hypnotic...
It's like a car accident. It brings about emotions within me that should remain dormant; yet, I can't look away. Hopefully by me adding it to my profile, I will be able to vicariously share my spellbinding misery that is the dancing green banana.
Also, I like holding hands, taking walks, and poking dead things with sticks.
If it were the first time we were meeting, the evening would most likely be kept simple (perhaps meeting up for coffee, or a smoothie, or maybe even that good ‘ole social lubricant -- alcohol). Beyond that, maybe a show, or a walk… who knows(?) Essentially I imagine that no one wants to be stuck with someone for an entire evening if things don’t “click” within the first hour or so, and as such it would most likely be an “open-ended” date where beyond the first hour, nothing would be completely written in stone.
If things “click” though during that first little bit, then it all depends on the person. I’m just as willing to go to a carnival followed by reading greeting cards at Hallmark to the old standby of “dinner and a movie.” Hiking, a walk, a concert, a show, blowing bubbles off the top of a parking garage, people watching, the zoo (I've never been), Natural History Museum, art gallery, or heading beyond the outskirts of town towards Apex in order to be able to actually see stars… all are essentially on the table.
