I've always tried to hold your typical American relationship, and it just doesn't seem to work for me. It works well in the short term I can hold it together for maybe two years, but then it starts to slip. I know it sounds silly but I put "nomadic" in my title for a reason.
I have absolutely no problem staying with a person for a lengthy amount of time, it's holding to a certain lifestyle.
Man, it is hard to write a profile that is not self-depreciating.
I am, if anything, a man of passion - which, to put it somewhat less grandiosely, basically just means that when I find something I like I tend to burn it at both ends until I get absolutely sick of it, which could take anywhere from days to years depending on the particular subject. When I find a book or a movie I really enjoy I tend to spend a good few hours afterward just hunting down every bit of interesting trivia I can find on it.
Thoughts, anyone?
unless you actually talk like this when you are hanging out with friends I'd drop a heap of adjectives and just say what you mean without embellishment
i.e.
"I know what I like, and I am passionate about what I like. Sometimes I burn out on it because I get so into it. When I find a book or a movie I really enjoy I tend to spend a good few hours afterward just hunting down every bit of interesting trivia I can find on it."
I actually do talk like that - but let me give trimming down a shot.

Better?
I'd scratch the passion bit entirely. Why sound pretentious at all?

If I had the power to conjure up any kind of companion for myself right now,
I'd conjure up a lady who would catch my eye by her distinctiveness, and would be able to hold any conversation with me. I've always had to adapt to the lady, and I'm done with that. It doesn't work.

I always thought I'd have to meet someone who's into games on some level, but the girl I've liked most recently(who was engaged[to a jerk no less]) had only one thing in common with me: she was a BT fan. As long as there's something, I guess it's enough.

But he needs to
Stand out
from all the crowd
Even if he gotta shout out loud
cj's not aiming for the regular kind of girl i'm pretty sure
I am with you on this, and it is actually exactly what the article I mentioned earlier was talking about
dating now is not even about attracting someone with a certain kind of trait
it's become about attracting ANYONE AT ALL
that is, making your online profile or presenting yourself on a date as being as eligible and normal and blah blah generically decent traits as possible... only showing off what is "socially acceptable" or things that people are "supposed" to like in someone they are dating
RATHER THAN firing from the hip with all the unique things about yourself with no care as to how you will be judged because this way you know that if anyone responds positively to what you have written or what you have said, they are going to be someone worth spending the time to get to know
"You should message me if u not lame and ur not an ass hole like everyone i have ever met b-4 and u looking for someone to really love without playing games!!"

man see that just sounds depressing
you're adding a lot of words that aren't saying anything and are in fact hinting at the idea that whatever you like, you will eventually not like

games have 3-D graphics now, hth
I kind of am. Most local girls who are into anime have issues at best.
you know me too well, internet

To make the paragraph not look tiny and sad? To add some flavor to the statement?

just went to check my account and OKCupid deleted me
that seems to be the ultimate dating shoot down

such as you know
a GIRL
they are from my brother and sister
No man, it's cool, sometime I want to be lazy as well.
Satans..... hints.....
um here is what i got so far but it is halfway done
http://www.okcupid.com/profile/lkois/
what LAZY
man being romanced by a lady is GREAT
no it didn't
Not saying it isn't.
But what of my favourite parts of it is that it involves no effort on my part.
I just get wooed and get to chill out and act appreciative.
Satans..... hints.....
you're face is hottt
oh, gotcha
Woo your man.
Woo him with extra wooooos.
unless you were like, super, super racist or something?
the point is OKCupid doesn't delete profiles, you would have to delete it yourself and even that is a laborious process
I woo him plenty. Or at least I think I do. I never know if he knows if he's being wooed.
no joke
Are you putting the standard amount of inflection into your woos?
I don't even know what the standard IS
you're talking about the wrong guy. I'm Futore
the sexist
If he doesn't gripe at you for getting your hair in his brush then you're doing it right.
