Date a soulmate from United States. I've found, in my experiences, that you can learn more about someone in 5 minutes over one drink than you can in 5 years working next to that same person. With that being said, I’m now supposed to wrap myself up in a verbal package of awesomeness by explaining what I’m looking for in life, what I’ve accomplished, what I expect from match, etc., etc., etc. I’d really rather not bore you with those details just yet because those endeavors are much more engaging when told face to face over a nice dinner… or pee-wee golf… because I will school you at pee-wee golf.
To make this as painless as possible, I’ve decided to list 12 completely random facts about myself.
1. I have recently learned that I dislike enclosed places. If not for my shoulder MRI, I would have been completely oblivious to this fact. Between the tight space and the loud noises… I’ve never wanted to press a button so bad.
2. I’m a science and history nerd. Super undercover though. Anything on the Discovery Channel, Nat Geo, or the History Channel takes precedence over whatever I am doing. Trust me, I don’t mean for this to happen… you better just turn off the TV if you need my attention.
3. My friends and family believe I am an excellent listener. Now, I know this is not true; reason being is because I’m not really listening. My psych classes in college bestowed upon me the ability to create the illusion that I was well absorbed into the conversation, leaving my converser with an overwhelming sense of relief from their issue. So, fact #3, I am really good at pretending to be a really good listener.
4. I adore my family more than anything on this earth and will go at great lengths to keep them happy. Quite literally. My brother and his wife are currently living in London. It’s a long flight.
5. I love all animals, but I have a soft spot for dogs. I wish to own a Husky or a labradoodle one of these days…
6. In 2010 I was on the front page of the San Mateo County Times.
7. Sour, gummy candies… excellent weapon for bribing me.
8. When the San Jose Sharks lose in the playoffs I go into a sulking period for approximately two hours. I have gone through this process for nine years consecutively. I keep telling myself it will get better… it does not.
9. I highly enjoy “thinking movies.” Any psychological twister that delves into the collective unconscious or uses one of Freud’s theorized modules is going to immediately grab my interest. Movies like Donnie Darko, Memento, Fight Club, Inception, and American Psycho are just a few to name.
10. I am looking for a serious relationship. However, I do understand that the backbone of any successful relationship is friendship.
11. I very much enjoy my job… most of the time at least. It can get quite gritty now and then.
12. I am so cool it’s ridiculous. I know, I know… opinion, right? No. Fact. How could it not be? I’ve been blessed by having a loving family and the best group of friends anyone could ask for. It’s our shared experiences that made me what I am today.
So, if you took my sarcasm too literally then you may want to continue your search. I do have a sarcastic and playful sense of humor. If you can laugh and dish it right back then we will absolutely click. I look forward to hearing from you.
P.S. I'm looking for some recent pictures... I may have to settle for the cheesy self portrait.
