I suppose it's time to flesh out my profile a little, now that I've decided to go for the year membership

I guess that I'm a bit of a hypocrite. I have no particular desire to modify my body in interesting ways, as most of the men and women on this site seem to do. In fact, I just had surgery to get foreign matter extracted from my body back in february. Damn nylon doesn't biodegrade, not even inside my foot.

I do like the modified women, though. Maybe it's a matter of being attracted to something foreign (and I have dated actual foreigners, so there might be something to that), or perhaps I just wish I had the guts to do something like that. Fact is, though, that I just haven't seen anything and thought, "You know, that would look good tatooed on my terribly out-of-shape body."

So yeah, treat me like a tourist if you want; I've got plenty of geek counter-culture cred to fall back on, so I'm not particularly worried.

What you should know about me: I'm always willing to help, but my capacity to help is sometimes limited, with my bachelor's degree in Creative Writing not making me a lot of friends in the job world... ended up working as a phone rep at a Facilities Management company. Theoretically I could be responsible for some great novel, screenplay, or computer game, but I've had a little trouble getting motivated.

I haven't dated seriously in about four years. I'm really bad at it. Last girlfriend was long distance, the one before that was a psychotic wench that lied about her entire life, read my e-mails without my knowledge, tried to isolate me from my friends, and topped it off with the "I'm pregnant" lie as soon as I decided to break up with her. That was my longest non-long-distance relationship at 5 months. I ain't gonna lie to you, I suck when it comes to dating.

Of course, that doesn't mean that I think I don't have a lot to offer. I'm kind, loyal, funny, and I don't think sexual proficiency was ever my problem. Perhaps my problem is that I'm perfectly willing to be friends with a woman indefinitely even if I'm interested, because the last thing I want to do is mess someone's life up or make their relationships more complicated. Complicated is bad. Drama is good in a movie or in roleplaying, but bad in real life.

Why am I telling you all this? Well, I was going over the profile thinger, and it seems like it was asking dating site questions, so... yeah. Might as well toss the dating relevant stuff out there to be subsequently ignored as we move on to more important stuff, yo.

Anyway, another big shout-out to Hana, my World of Warcraft guildmate and an all-around awesome gal who is responsible for me ultimately deciding to join the site.
