edit: Ahaha, I can't believe my pic #3 was actually deleted. Tsk, ruins the flow of the story.

For your amusement, I now present to you my second greatest story of fail:

About a year ago, I was out for a jog and bumped into a woman who was walking her dog. The dog was the hyper friendly type and jumped all over me, so I used that as an opening to start up a conversation. We walked and talked for about half an hour, with the typical prodding of questions to determine if the other was single. We parted ways, and I kicked myself for not mustering the words to ask her out.

Fast forward a year, I'm out getting the mail and I see her halfway down the block. She smiles and jogs towards me. I walk up, big grin on my face and slight flutter in my heart... "Hi Hazel, how've you been?"

She shot me an odd look and I realized... dammit, Hazel was the dog's name.

---------------------------

So now that that's out of the way, me in a nutshell:
- rocket scientist, retro hip hop dancer from before it was hip hop, pianist
- geek monarch; probably too smart for my own good
- sociable, outgoing, spontaneous and adventurous at times, quiet and reflective at others
- I work, have my own place, have a car, no kids, don't drink, don't smoke, no drugs
- I like to keep fit and have fun (gooo body break!)

Likes:
- music (most types, though preference for classical and old jazz)
- dancing (not the bar kind)
- animals
- teaching
- perogies

Dislikes:
- people/things who harsh my mellow

Philosophy:
- live a life of altruism; the golden rule; make this world a better place

Seeking:
- self-aware
- motivated & self-actualized
- mentally and physically active
- has managed to write a profile beyond "I don't know what to say, just ask!"
- knows how to work a fedora

I lead a busy and for the most part fulfilling life. I'm not looking for someone to keep up. I'm looking for someone with a busy life of their own; but where we can both slow down a teensy bit and decide to make time for each other.

Or I'm just here to chat. No harm in that either.

p.s. No penis for me thanks. Nothing against it, and kinda flattered, and once upon a time maybe, but it just doesn't do anything for me. Best of luck to ya.

p.p.s. No, I am not interested in having your boyfriend suck me off. Gawd, what is with you people?!?

Laugh, play, and be merry. The details will sort themselves out later.
