I hear you, Reader. “Prove it, e. Prove that you can write a mean personal ad!” Here is the text from my now defunct match.com profile:

Do you know what I love about riding my grocery cart across the parking lot at Publix? The looks I get. People thinking either, “What an idiot! She’s too old for that!” or conversely, “Wow! I wish I could do that.” (You still can!)

I’m always mistaken for the quiet one at first. It’s pretty amusing to see the shock on people’s faces when they realize the scope of my sense of humor. Though I do own a purple couch (hooray Salvation Army!), I am not a girly girl in the slightest. I get along better with guys and I have been known to kick some butt in both Norrath (EQ) and Azeroth (WoW). I have a soft spot for geeks, nerds, and others of that ilk, so please don’t be shy. I think your t-shirt with the joke about hex code is sexy!

I am at the place in my life where I have stability in terms of career, finances, and friendships. My goal is to be buff by my Europe trip this June! (Wanna help? Working out with a buddy is more fun!) I am attracted to many types of men, but what attracts me most are braiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiins. If you can make me think or make me laugh, I will like you. If you can teach me something, dance with me, snuggle with me, drive aimlessly with me across the country, burn dinner with me, howl at the full moon with me… we could have some great times. Let’s get started - send me an email!
