Matchmaker. Matchmaker , Make Me a... This Kinda Blows.

[sisabet]

So, last night I was a combination of videpressed and bored. This can be dangerous.

I decided that if I had a boyfriend and I was depressed after finishing a vid, he'd take me to a movie and rub my feet and that sounded not terrible. Also - I need to remember that Vividcon is coming and Sid hates the kennel. So, I ended up registering at Match.com and OMG, this is a hoot. Seriously - funny as hell.

Every username I tried came up as already taken until the incredibly lovely tzikeh suggested the perfect fix and ta da! I was off and trawling for men!

Well, except first I had to tell them about myself and here I must confide in y'all. I am not down with the personnel ad lingo. I mean - I understand how it works, I just think it is pathetic and lame. That much earnestness in search of booty should be illegal. I can't hack it. Also, I am pretty certain I just can't handle having a picture up, and if you have a picture up, then no one reads your profile. So - I am doing a social experiment and campaigning solely on the strength of my personality.

Here is the jist of me behind the cut. And hee - jist

"Hey, I think this is a manifesto! Cool."

About me and who I'd like to date

I am happy and single and actually, really happy being single. I have no idea why I am here. Oh, yeah - I remember now. See, sometimes I like to go out of town to visit old friends and I hate kenneling my dog. He finds it very stressful. I am here to give my dog a father. Or, at least, a very nice uncle. Actually, I just want someone who will keep him off the streets and away from drugs. It would also be cool if you could teach him how to read. I worry that he gets bored when I am at work. Me? I'm an enigma wrapped in a puzzle or something all mysterious like that. I'm serious. I am like a really lazy riddle. I'm all "Lalala, I am soooo cryptic, you will never figure me out" except all you'd have to do is ask and I'd tell you that I am only here to build an army of really hot men to do my bidding, but that is such a lie because I cannot do that and keep to my regular nap schedule and I have my priorities. Yes. I am a driven woman. Driven in my pursuit of the perfect nap. It is like The Perfect Storm except no one dies and you wake up well rested. So let's see (::reviews checklist::) Dog, riddle, driven, nap - yeah, I covered all my bases.

This is actually me, diluted for the public consumption. Pure straight Liz can be kinda scary if you are not eased into it.

Interests

for fun:

I am very happy and content and self-contained. Give me a ball of string and I will be entertained for hours. Seriously. String is very cool. A lot of people don't know this.


favorite hot spots:


Leaving the house? Are you crazy? That takes, like, work and stuff. Okay - so museums are cool and galleries are fine and I like coffee and beer and wine. And donuts. MMmm, donuts. Should I spell it doughnuts? These questions plague me.


favorite things:

I enjoy long walks and quiet evenings on the beach. I mean - I never *do* these things (well except for the walking part because my dog insists upon it) but in theory, I really enjoy them. Other than that, give me the remote and leave me alone.

last read:

The Amazing Adventure of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon, which is not the last book I read. The last book I read sucked and it was not my fault as I was trapped at my mother's and she likes John Grisham.


***********



So - that is my manifesto - and so far I have even fallen in love. His username is FunguynLex and I think that if we get married, I should get a ton of fic at my bridal shower. The theme? The fun guy in Lex!!!

Hell - I should just not bother with him and go ahead with that challenge! I LOVE LIVING IN LEXINGTON!
