[This message has been edited by Suneun (edited February 27, 2003).]
Dibs!
Appearance: Look in the photo album! Well, I mean, that's me at my best, my *very* best and I definitely don't always look like that...but it gives you an idea
Hair: Blonde with highlights, past shoulder length...really thick and wavey/curly. I say "wavey/curly" because it all depends on the humidity
Eyes: Greyish-Green
Smile: yes, i have one. (?)
Build: Short. 5'2 1/2" officially, and voluptuous. I say voluptuous because it's a nice way of saying "because I am short, and the way that i'm built, i will never be thin" Curvy. Not tiny. Don't expect it.
Look alikes: I've been told I look like Melissa Joan Hart numerous times...the general shape of the face and body build. But that's it, I really just look like me.
Reasons I'm cool: (see, these are things that I think make me cool, but that other people might disagree with, so...)
-I've read every single book that Agatha Christie ever wrote. AND I own them all.
-I've been to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy (for 3 weeks!), Jamaica, the Bahamas, I've been on a cruise AND i've been to Disney World 7 times and Disneyland 1.
-I once took a trip with my family out west for three weeks, traveling on trains and in rental cars, and we visited Colorado, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Chicago. not that that's out west, but I did go there. Why am I telling you people where I've travelled?
-I used to live in Colorado
-I know virtually every musical and can probably sing you a verse from just about everyone out there.
-Ich spreche Deustch. Eine kleine..
-I am really good at accents, or as the more educated of the world like to say: dialects. I just have a really good ear for them. English, Scottish and Irish are my best. I used to walk around Disney World pretending I was British. It's a favorite past-time of mine
-I know there are more but I'm drawing a blank now...
Dating status: I don't think I've ever truly "dated" someone. I had a boyfriend for 4 weeks. My longest relationship. Oh, you mean right now? Non-existent. There is no status.
Stalker level: I'm no stalker, but I do get "determined" when I like someone. Not enough to tell them (who does that!??) But enough to try to make sure I am always where they are...if that counts as stalking, then I'd say "low stalker level"
Plans: Act. Sing. Maybe write a novel if I ever get an idea that I love. Hopefully get on TV or in the "Pictures"...but I'd be content to just be a character at the Renaissance Faire year after year. Also, get married. And honeymoon in Disney World. These are my plans.
Things you should know:
-I am a "very-open-to-discussion" atheist
-I really get into television shows. I feel like the characters are my friends, and I can rant about their poor choices and such and such for hours on end. This is something I think will probably never change.
-Sometimes I say stupid things. Sometimes I come across kinda dumb. But I assure you, I am not. If you get me started on a subject I know a lot about, I will talk your ear off. The "dumb" thing is kind of the basis of my humor -- sometimes I'm analytically humorous (that's more often when I'm with people I don't know, or on the internet, because I have time to think of pithy, clever responses...) and other times i slip on a banana peel. Does that make sense?
-I love Shakespeare. He and I have an understanding.
-I have a really hard time sympathizing openly with people, not because I don't understand where they are coming from, but because I have trouble letting their grief affect me. It's a character flaw. I'm working on it.
-As my friend TheBlueFairy puts it: "I am Taurus with a little Aries fire" And while I don't really put too much into that, if you look up Taurus you will get a very basic, un-complex description of me. Except for the money thing, I don't understand that -- I'm terrible with money!
-This is far too long. This is another thing you should know about me. I talk and babble and go on tangents. A Lot.
Perfect man: kind of a dork, confident but not smug, can sing/act/play an instrument/tap dance...all three or just one...we're talking ideal here, right? Loves to read, can deal with my obsessions (like I said, TV shows, etc.) Able to make me laugh at any given moment, doesn't *love* chick flicks but can stand or even like a few of them, taller than me. (not that that's hard) Knows what he wants to do. Honest. Are you really hearing anything new? Likes the theatre, even if he's not a participant. Zealous about life. There are so many things, I'm actually really generalizing. And babbling. BABBLE BABBLE
Guys in movies (and I KNOW they're not real, but they'd had some of the traits I would appreciate in a guy): Wolf from The 10th Kingdom. He's zealous and passionate and sure of himself but also has bouts of insecurity, quirky. Quirky is really a must. And he's funny! Other guys I've liked...um, John Corbett's Ian from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. But he wasn't very funny...I think if you combined Andrew and Spike and Xander on Buffy, you'd have a pretty great "Kira-approved" guy...dorky, quirky, but confident and well-spoken, a really funny guy...has passions, very devoted....
Get the picture?
Age: 22(23 this sunday)
Age when first kissed: To be sincere I hold no recollection of such happening.
Appearance
Photo: outdated updated
Hair: Black-very very dark brown with natural redish highlights. Very straight with a small natural wave by my face.
Eyes: Hazel? They iris isn't smooth, it looks like the moon surface... or like somebody picked at them with a toothpick.
Smile: You tell me, not too many teeth showing, but they are all straight and nice.
Build: triple built.
Ancestry: Aztec-Mayan + Norther Spaniard-French
Look-alikes: Nobody, I look weird.
Reason I am cool: You tell me, my husband and mom speculate I am capable of broadcasting digi-pheromones.
Dating Status: Sorta, kinda, married. I never got to say one single vow, so for me it doesn't count.
Stalker level: How many? 13? I lost my count, they have a union and everything. They meet every wednesday and friday and vote on a majority of 80%. They have their dental plan covered. I have never been one, too busy avoiding the club.
Plans: Trying to finish college. I went into a 3 year hiatus, and I had to start all over. In between other things, try to get outta this town!!!
Things you should know:
I can tie cherry stems too, it got boring when I could do it in less than 2 seconds. Then I tried the starbust candy wrap out of boredom. I can take it off, and re-fold it onto a neat little triangle.
Squirrels are my enemies.
I am extremely playful and act very goofy.
I get depressed too easily and I can't take criticism from family or significant other.
I get hyper all the time.
I am an alcoholic if you give me the chance.
Abilities:
I caaaan... cook, I am an obsessive cleaner, I draw, I paint, I print, I design, I program, I am an amateur photographer, I used to be able to sing, but haven't on a while so I can't guarantee anything. I can play the guitar and the recorder. I can understand and sorta speak every romance language there is. Babies automatically stop crying when I hold them, I attribute that to sheer freezing freight. I can learn anything and be really good at it very quickly. I can eat anything, as long as it isn't fried okrah, and I'll eat that if necessary too. I don't complain much and I can walk for hours. Also I was a champion swimmer and still hold my lifeguard certification. I am extremely bendy too.
Things I like in men: Honesty, caring, love, tenderness and my same sense of humor. Everything else works itself out eventually.
(edit: There, added some abilities)

I assume the ability to count isn't a requirement.
That said, I seem to be out of the running, anyway--I don't do any of those 5 things well.
In all seriousness, Saudade, do you really feel this way? I can't help worrying about your situation every now and then.
We are starting from the top again lol
You know you're only pointing out my flaws because you're trying to convince yourself that you don't love me desperately

Age: 33
Age when first kissed: 1st grade - a 3rd grader kept chasing me around and kissing me. My mom told me to deck him when he wouldn't stop, so I did and gave him a bloody nose. Funny enough, we accidently met over coffee 20 years later - not knowing each other - and I told that story to which he replied "What school did you go to?" Yep - same guy - but in his words, MUCH more respectful of the ladies since then.
Appearance
Photo: none
Hair: blonde-brown; long, wavy.
Eyes: blue (green, grey)
Smile: dunno - never had to describe it - I have one though and people smile in return so it must not be too bad-
Build: 5'6", 140lbs
Ancestry: Heinz 57
Look-alikes: Would that be whom I wished I look like or the actual thing?
Dating Status: Happily divorced
Stalker level: Restraining order worked to keep him away when all else failed . . .
Plans: Eventually to get my Master's degree. Become Empress. Change the world. Be happy. Have fun. Work hard. Seriously - raise a happy, well-adjusted, competent and confident young man.
Things you should know:
I have a passion for social justice issues. Particularly in the arena of women, children and poverty.
I am fairly quiet and self-contained. I am told that I am an empathic and careful listener. I read just about everything, I write, I take long hikes and walks, I listen to all kinds of music and I play music (guitar, piano, recorder, percussion, vocals - but as a jill of all trades instead of mistress of any.)
I cook well, but don't particularly like to -and keep my home and yard soothing and comfortable. I enjoy intimate gatherings of friends - no loud and big parties, please.
I used to have a thing for bikers, musicians and all-around bad boys. My first stint in college was studying sound engineering. The lifestyle about killed me though so I took a hiatus and when I went back to college I majored in social work.
Things I like in men: Intellect. Passion. Gentleness. Courtesy. Thoughtfulness. A wicked sense of humor.
Putting your dirty socks in the laundry basket is good too!

Wow, I think I might be Leonide's dream man.

Cassandra, you should go for it! Advertise away
Age: 16 (and I thought I was grown up!! *sniff*
Age when first kissed: 13, but was an accident, more or less, so it doesn't really count. In other words, still waiting
Appearance
Photo: Even if I had one I wouldn't post it up. I am the least photogenic person in the entire world.
Hair: short, straight, and black. Or dark brown, for those of you who insist that black is not a real color.
Eyes: brown
Smile: I'm told I have dimples, but that doesn't necessarily make my smile any better looking
Build: 5'2 or 5'3, 121 lbs (My mom thinks I'm overweight!)
Ancestry: 100% Chinese
Look-alikes: Nadie (No one), except for me, and sometimes when I'm in a good mood I can convince myself that I look like Zhang Ziyi.
Dating Status: Not really looking, since I think I'm too young still (after that first time catastrophe), but if you can convince me that you're the Prince Charming I'm looking for, then maybe I'll be interested. And if you want my horror story about my first boyfriend, email me. I'd be glad to tell it
Stalker level: Well, my ex-boyfriend spent all of morning assembly two days ago staring at me. I blocked him from my buddy list and he kept on inventing new screennames to email me with until I finally blocked everyone but a select few people off my buddy list so he couldn't bother me any more.
Plans: To go to a good college (Like Princeton. Hahahaha, yeah right), become a foreign service officer and maybe someday ambassador of the US to Taiwan or Spain (since my parents are from Taiwan, and I speak Spanish), get married, have kids, etc., etc., etc. not necessarily in that order
Things you should know: I don't tend to talk much with people I'm not comfortable with or don't know very well, so on first take, I could come across as snooty or incredibly shy. I'm actually just incredibly shy, but once I get to know you, I can talk up a storm, especially about philosophy, traveling, movies, classical music, and the Chinese culture.
I love cooking. If my mom let me, I'd spend all day in the kitchen poring through recipe books and making stuff. I also like playing the piano (I recently won third place at an MEA competition). I'm obsessed with classical music and Lord of the Rings (no one can insult either of those two in my presence without getting a tongue lashing from me). Mmmm . . . I love reading, but I don't have time for it anymore, and I love writing, but I've heard that I suck, so *shrug*. Anything goes, I guess. I also have difficulty hiding my dislike for some people. I can't ignore things that well, and I take things a little too seriously a lot of the time, but I'm a good listener, and I give good advice. Or so my friends tell me. I guess it couldn't be all that bad, since they keep on coming back for more.
Things I like in men (boys, in my case): Intelligence is an absolute must. Um . . . an appreciation for all things Middle Earth, for music- especially for classical music. Being kind, compassionate, a good listener, and respectful is good too. Also, I need someone who'll fight with me- someone constantly agreeing with everything I say (like my ex-boyfriend) irritates me. I need someone who'll get me off my high-horse.
Just a reminder, that's all, and a nod to the unspoken lovely women who aren't into this particular groove.

Alas!

Smile: Think Meg Ryan.
Build: *flexes* toned and firm.
Ancestry: Scots-Irish but look Scandinavian
Look-alikes: Milla Jovovich, apparently. Oh, and when not congested, I sound like Jodie Foster.

Dating Status: Engaged.
Stalker level: Mine are good, I haven't seen any of them. *paranoid*
Plans: Working as a case manager and attending grad school in the fall to get my MSW and become a clinician.
Things you should know:
I could never become a drug or alcohol addict.
I am, however, an exercise addict.
I have a strong sense of morality and fairness.
Don't underestimate me. I have an iron will.
I can think like a ten year old.
I play practical jokes.
Abilities:
Damn good cook. Sports enthusiast(whitewater kayaking, hiking, racquetball, running, biking, sailing). Am Sailing instructor. Photographer. Novelist.
Things I like in men: Honesty, loyalty, intelligence, sense of humor.
[This message has been edited by Jon Boy (edited March 01, 2003).]
Age: 16
Age when first kissed: Same as above.
Photo: Sorry, no photo. Digital camera is wrecked and I doubt I'd post one even if it wasn't.
Hair: Red. As in, "I've never seen actually red hair before"-red. Never had it dyed, streaked, etc. though it does look like I have blonde highlights in summer. Also, it tends to get rather tawny in the winter. Eyes: Blue. Exact shade varies from an almost cloud-gray to sky to night-sky, depending upon both whatever I happen to be wearing and my mood.
Smile: Slight dimples. Usually don't show my teeth unless I'm laughing which is rather often.
Build: 5'4" and 109. Let's put it this way, my friend Alex pretends to outline an hourglass when describing me.
Ancestry: Half Irish, an eigth of both Italian and German, and the remaining quarter pretty much covers all of Europe.
Look-alikes: Supposedly Julia Roberts.
Reason I am cool: Get to know me and see for yourself. Sorry, I know I can't say that (see dating status) but the opportunity was too rich to pass up.
Dating Status: Taken and loving it (and him ).
Stalker level: None. ...Well, not towards anyone at least. If you mean from someone, than it's moderate. Have had 4 stalkers, one of which kept it up for 6 months before school finally let out and he had to stop.
Plans: I'm trying to get a sponsor so I can accept the invitation to Cambridge this summer. Other than that: Finish high school, and double-major in English and some sort of humanities course in college. I have two more years of high school ahead of me so I haven't quite yet planned much further than that.
Things you should know:
I'm usually very sweet and it takes a long time to get me to lose my temper but watch out when I do. My bark is my bite.
I enjoy long walks outdoors and will do practically anything to spend a day at the beach or hiking in the mountains.
I act the same way in a library or book store as most younger children do in a candy shop.
I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, or anything even remotely similar.
I'm interested in trying or learning about pretty much anything so differences are actually encouraged.
Abilities:
Danced at the Kennedy Center a few years ago and have done some non-professional work since then.
I read rather quickly and write about as much as I read.
This may sound strange but... Just helping people sort things out.
I've been figure skating for about a year now. (While it's a blast to spin and jump, I much prefer a pair of rollerblades on a summer's day.)
Medal in track and swim team.
Things I like in men: Intelligence, a sense of humor, openess to new things, loyalty, honor, etc. Feeling comfortable or "at home" is very important and little quirks are definitely nice.
quote:
Gorgeous, my age, and a gymnast?
Dibs!
Though I must say, I'm a little put-off by the missionary thing, even if you "broke up." Yeah, I've heard that one before. . . .
And just so you know, I would never stoop to buttering up three lovely, talented, intelligent ladies like yourselves.
[This message has been edited by Jon Boy (edited March 02, 2003).]
*rolls on the floor laughing until her sides hurt and she can't breathe anymore*
Um, yeah...they may have broken up technically, but they are still very much in love. She wouldn't be any less available if she were engaged. The only difference right now is that she's allowed to date other people, but I can't imagine any man measuring up to him in her eyes. They are a perfect match.
(Don't hate me Jennie, I love you!)

Chicken or the chicken feather? I just can't decide.
Age: 19
Age of first kiss:I'll let you know...
Appearance:
Hair: blonde, shoulder length
Eyes: blue
Height: 5'2" (five foot two, eyes of blue, oh what those five feet could do. Has anybody seen my girl? <--it's a really old song)
Smile: Stunningly gorgeous (okay, I really don't know how to describe my smile, but you can't blame me for playing up, can you?)
Build: Petite, yet strong (I do have muscles, contrary to what you may think just looking at me)
Reason of coolness: I drink out of straws--how much cooler can you get?
Dating status: still single
Stalker level: I was chased by ninjas once, does that count?
Plans: become a world famous photographer (of things, not people, as Jon Boy so aptly put it), Raise a family of spectacular children who will go on to win nobel prizes
Things you should know: I'm not your typical girl. I prefer to listen rather than talk in a group, but one on one--look out. I love doing anything outdoorsy, sports-like, or adventurous, while at the same time I love music--yes, even the classical stuff. I'm LDS. And the best thing is I sleep with a pink rhinocerous
Perfect man: When I find him, I'll let you know.
Oh well, here it goes:
Age: 20 a week from tomorrow
Appearance:
Hair: Light Brown, Dirty Blond, I don't know! I've even been called a red-head before...
Eyes: BLUE...no specks of other colors, just blue--deep blue.
Smile: Always!
Build: I'd say pretty average.
Reason why I'm cool: I can quote entire Disney movies, and I have useless talents, like tying my hair in a knot with one hand and making roses out of play-dough.
Dating Status: single...for at least another year and four months
Stalker level: *giggle*
Plans: Direct choirs (Conducting is my passion), Be a mom and have fun while I'm at it, Have an AMAZING DVD collection, own a black baby grand piano, Never grow up
Things you should know:
I laugh at everything, and when I laugh at you it's not in a mocking way.
I love music of almost any kind, and I get very excited when I talk about it.
I love chocolate and roses...*hint*
I don't like oriental food, sorry.
I'm LDS.
I love reading, and when I get into a book I don't stop until I'm done with it (but that's not unusual for this forum, is it?).
Perfect Man:Do they really exist?
Silly boys...don't you realize that in a contest between women you aren't supposed to vote AT ALL?? That it only makes the women jealous and suspicious of each other! Here's what you must do, men: vote for every girl who posted a profile, and then vote for all the girls who didn't, too. Don't leave a single one out.
Really, Jon Boy, you shouldn't have to deal with indecision at all. Now that may seem like a contradiction with when I said it was unethical for there to be a tie, but refer back to the second sentence of the quote.
Better?
I got a vote! Thanks, Karl; you're sweet.
Toretha, don't believe hansenj--she's just blonde.

Plans: Off to some university or other in August to study music industry. Trying to get a job touring this summer, possibly in Europe, doing merch. After college...who knows?
Things you should know:
I'm a merch girl for now. I'm insanely friendly and sometimes way too generous and trusting. I'm easily hurt, but a lot of times it doesn't show. I love people. I don't smoke or do drugs. I try to exercise as much as possible.
Abilities:
"Best merch girl in the world," according to DSA. I play the bagpipes. And keyboard in this band called Aurasis. I write a lot. I'm a national merit scholar. I usually have a very strange intuition about people...it keeps me safe.
Things I like in men: Physically, I like muscles and shaved heads, but I also like pretty boys. Like Jay Gordon. Personality-wise: Thoughtfulness, depth, sense of humor, manners, intelligence, creativity, patience, musical ability.

Also, what's a merch girl?

Try to copy and paste _that_.
I could see both, no problem. Yowza!
Anyways, one of the bands actually hired me for pay to replace their old merch girl who worked for free. Apparently, most merch girls can't stay professional about their jobs and end up fooling around with either the band they're working for or using their job as a way to fool around with other bands. Not to mention getting bitter and unfriendly.
I _am_ allowed to have groupies, though. Get people on the guest list, give out free things, and bring people to afterparties. But the bands are super-protective of me.
But anyways. Basically, I get paid to hang out with bands, sit at a booth, and be personable. Oh, and dress nicely. Can't forget the fashion part.

*decides that starting the "My Big Fat Geek Wife" thing was a worse idea*

Actually, far too many of these lovely women are. D: What gives?? Hatrack has tons of ridiculously hot women, and they're all either married or a little (or a lot) too young!
Leto said the rest of you can share him though
(Sorry Jon Boy, his words, not mine...)
*runs and hides from Leto*
yous crazy, coil.
And those weren't "criteria", those were "best case scenario"...thingees. I don't expect them. Most of the guys I've liked can't sing to save their souls.
You're supposed to make a girl feel special! It's hard to feel special at "I love you all the same."
...I'm SO not finishing that sentence.
Seriously though. I've been thoroughly entertained by this thread and have no desire to post a profile, not because I don't want anyone here to get to know me, but because this is a judged profile.
Age:29
Age when first kissed: 14
Appearance
Photo: See "Frodo" in the WenchCon Picture thread.
Hair: Brown, almost shoulder length, mildly wavy
Eyes: my sister called them "crazy eyes"; they're an olive/brown hazel
Smile: Wide; only my upper teeth show, and the front two are really huge. I have an overbite, which gives me a bit of a "muzzle"
Build: 5'3", 110 lbs, 32-28.5-34
Ancestry: Bulgarian, Dutch, Scotch-Irish
Look-Alikes: Elijah Wood? :P
Reason I am cool: I am at ease with myself.
Dating Status: Married
Stalker level: Had a very creepy ex-boyfriend who would knock on my bedroom window at night and want to talk.
Plans: To get into the gifted/talented program as a permanent teacher.
Things you should know:
I know how to move my hips when I dance.
I am a terrible housekeeper.
I am the Head Wench at the Wenches' Tavern.
I don't shave my legs between the Autumnal and Vernal Equinoxes.
I have a green thumb.
I have an uncanny knack for understanding people - I should have been a counselor.
My emotions are very easy to read.
I am very sensual - I stick my feet in fountains; I wander barefoot on grass, I always stop to smell flowers...
What I like in a man:
Intellectual conversation always turns me on. Nice hair is very attractive. Eyes that hold mine. Ambition coupled with the skill and competence to reach high goals.

Ok, i just read this, and I think it's adorable that probably (though maybe not) some of Brinestone and Jon Boy's first flirtations are on this thread, and now they're having a baby (and married).

I want to keep the memories I have of this summer uncorrupted. Maybe that's silly.

Hmmm, why did you name yourself "Kitsune"? I know it means "fox," but does it refer to something more specific?
