    bahmut you just need to understand one thing about women

    they're all insane harpies who care about nothing but money

    once you realise that you'll be on the path to true love

    it's true

    a woman will be yours forever if you can sate her wild-eyed gold lust

    get her all of the sparklies.

    There was a commercial on the radio recently for Smyth or some diamond place, that was essentially saying "Buy your girl a ring, or someone else will and steal her from you" and i heard no complaints from my more feminist-ish friends. i guess values go out the door when diamonds are involved.

    De?ad, liked the profile, actually, but not the pictures.

    Get new ones.

    The only other pictures I have easy access to are these:

    Bahamut: Sure! I was thinking of starting a tabletop game sometime, and another player could be cool.

    Nice. There's a similar one on the radio right now but it's advertising to women.

    It starts, "Girls, have you been thinking about getting married? Well tell your man to come down to Shiny Jewelry Shop and make his love tangible"

    I'd like to say I was making up that tangible line, but they actually use it.

    Liiya, did you ever critique my profile?

    It could probably use it!

    I am happy to do so!
    The first picture is great, the second you are out of focus and not the most flattering, Im sure Janson has some nicer ones ive seen of you on facebook that you can use.

    I enjoy entertaining people and telling a good story. I've yet to find a single thing in life that is not enhanced by good company. I find people fascinating, and I like to go on long, meandering walks through commercial areas and malls, though I do no actual window shopping. I'm of the opinion that there are very few things in life you should take entirely seriously, least of all yourself. I am not an especially complicated dude. This is really nice, it tells us what to expect from you and that you're a relaxed fellow. You're not desperate or going to be clingy, which can scare some people off. It would scare me off, so this is good.

    I was born in California, but raised on Kauai. After twenty-two years on an island that is essentially a single overgrown theme park, it's nice to be in an area where things actually happen - I have easily done more things, and more interesting things in the year and a half I've been back in California than I managed to do in the entirety of my stay in Kauai. So we have some background which is nice. Perhaps you could add a bit about why you moved to Cali of all places, what drew you there or you like as a good conversation starter.

    I am a sort of a huge dork - I have a habit of getting excited about very silly things, and can talk at length about topics that very, very few people have any interest in. There is very little more entertaining than a 3:00AM conversation that swings back and forth between pop-culture analysis, arm-chair philosophy, and then ends up in an argument about the ethics of super-heroes. As a lady, I like to know that you are happy to talk about rubbish with me for ages.

    Working on college, and trying to steer myself into a career where people will actually pay me to make up silly little stories. Just to confirm, is this a creative writing course or english lit or lang...? Specify.

    Writing, telling an entertaining story, making a complete ass out of myself on karaoke nights. This is fun sounding. Which song in particular? :P

    Y'know, I'd love to say it was my razor-like wit, but, honestly, I'd guess the first thing people notice about me is that I resemble a large, rather ponderous Norseman - the kind that might pillage your town by accident, and then apologize profusely for it. Honest and rather sweet.

    Pretty much anything by Terry Pratchett I love how everyone on here loves Terry, how could you not!

    The ability to create, the internet, rambling conversation, friends, people with a sense of humor, interesting stories to preoccupy myself with. Nice balance.

    what I'd do if I had super-powers I do this too.

    Really, message me if you feel compelled to - it's always entertaining to meet new people. Nice little push to get people to message you, even if they are shy.

    All in all this pretty good DE?AD.
