Glad people liked the trapeze tricks =). Hopefully I'll learn some more tricks this spring. Especially if Mike ends up attending that Trapeze Seminar in Vermont...

Oohh, goodie! Maybe it's just me being self-centered, but I love filling out profiles just for the sake of filling out profiles. . . insane
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.

Jon Boy, as delightful and wonderful as this place may be, there are women here who just wouldn't be comfortable with a tongue-in-cheek (or not so tongue-in-cheek ) bid for the eyes of our fellow Jatrequeros. I've met some of them in person, both married and single.
Not that there is anything wrong in participating, of course. We have some of our most engaging members right here on this thread, and more power to them!
Think of it, instead, as an appreciation of the really awesome breadth and depth of variety we have here. That is, there are silent ones, too. (You know who you are.)

Age: 23 Age when first kissed: Six. Little boy named Joey Green. *bats eyes*
Appearance Photo: Me Hair: Golden blonde in a short pixie-ish cut. Rusty highlights in the depths of winter. Eyes: Blue or Green, depending on the color shirt I'm wearing. 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.
Reason I am cool: Thumping Stick. 'Nuff said. 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.

Well, now that I've actually met a few Jatraqueras (and since this is a cool thread that shouldn't die), I'm going to cast my vote for Diosmel Duda.

I can't believe this is the thread that's finally brought me out of my two months of lurking. No matter. I missed you guys!
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.

I don't know when we are supposed to start voting, but I wanna vote for Suneun, cause she's a fox. Also, she has a lot of weapons and could probably kill me. Posts: 1360 | Registered: Jul 2002

Can we vote for bachelorettes who haven't posted on this thread? 'Cause I'd like to change my vote to a three-way tie among Diosmel Duda, hansenj, and Damander. Posts: 9945 | Registered: Sep 2002

First of all, Jon Boy, you can't really tie on a thread like this, it's almost unethical(don't ask me why, it just seemed like the right thing to say). Second of all, hansenj is kinda taken (she has a missionary). But if you want to suck up to us, okay, I'll accept it Third of all, the reason I didn't post here is because everyone I know already knows I'm the most elligible bachelorette; plus I don't want to make every guy on hatrack pine for me (Disclaimer: that was a joke, I'm not this cocky in real life.)

Excuse me Damander, you know as well as I do that we broke up before he left. I'm as available as you! But I must agree with you on the tie-vote thing. I think Jon Boy's just trying to butter us up so we'll vote for him as most eligible bachelor. Posts: 1635 | Registered: Aug 2002

Unethical? Well, you certainly can't expect me to choose only one of you! That would be nigh impossible. If you want my vote, you'll have to earn it.
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.

*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.

So when are hansenj and Damander going to post their profiles? The bachelors of Hatrack are eagerly awaiting.

You want my profile? Okay, I'll give you my profile...
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

Hmm...calling us cute on T_Smith's thread, asking us to post our profiles...I still think you're trying to butter us up, Jon Boy.
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?).
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.

I would like to vote for every girl who posted a profile. I'd also like to vote for every girl who didn't post a profile. I'd also like to vote for every girl who's not even a member of the Hatrack River Forum.

hasenj-I have the same problem describing my hair color. my best friend, after I met her cousins, told me that after they'd dropped me off, her three cousins had had an argument about whether my hair was blond, brown or red Posts: 3493 | Registered: Jul 2001

I've always thought my hair was too light to be considered any kind of brown, but Damander told me I couldn't call myself a blond either...oh well. Posts: 1635 | Registered: Aug 2002

Well, it wasn't quite as blonde as Damander's, but it's still considerably lighter than mine, and I wouldn't say my hair is brown. Well, maybe light brown. I think I'm kind of on the border between light brown and dark blond. I dread the indecision I will face when getting my driver's license renewed.
