A description of me... :&)  ...Well, I'm not _that_ conceited---I prefer to
think of it as a good sense of humor.  It's hard to know if you'll find me
wonderful, so I'll do the only thing I can do---tell you about myself.  Then,
you can decide.


  Well, although I've posted here before, and met many wonderful women, two
of whom are very dear friends, it would be nice to meet more such people, and
, perhaps, find that rare and wonderful thing called love.

 I don't play head games at all, nor would I ignore your feelings.  I'm honest
-almost always (but perhaps _too_ honest at times).  I can write some very nice
poetry (I've included one below), and dream of being a shining Knight in Armor
for you, fair maiden.  I don't put anyone on an altar, but try my best to see
each person as unique.  I am usually very intuitive and perceptive---I find it
truly helps me to help other people when they need it.

 My emotions are very deep and strong---I can be very passionate, if you are
the right woman.  I don't ask for miracles, but expect you to be yourself.
I have a good sense of humor.  Also, flexibility is my most-valued trait in
other people.

 I don't run away when you need help---I'll be there to help guide you and
protect you when you really need it.

 I like playing some sports (Volleyball---favorite, soccer, cycling (If only
I had a bike...sung to the tune of "If Only I Had a Brain" :&) )), but also
like romantic winter nights, and talking about real issues, and real things to
someone.

 Also, I don't drink or smoke---I feel I want to live life on its own terms,
not the 'better living through chemistry' bit.  :&)

 Anyhow, since I don't want this to be too long, I'll stop the self-description
here---only my 'stats' and that poem are below.  If you're interested, write
back---you have nothing to lose, and, perhaps, something wonderful to gain.

 I'm 20 years old, dark, short brown hair, soft blue-grey eyes, 190 lbs. ,
6' tall, average muscularity.

                        Silent Tears

You have them.
Silent tears that pierce the night.
You claim that love is so hard to find.
That it doesn't exist.

Your pillow is always wet,
Flooded with the tears of everlasting beauty,
Of perfect, eternal love.
But, reality has shattered those dreams.

You dream of Knights in shining armor,
Their swords sparkling in the sunlight.
You see them come to your rescue,
Then you wake up.

You dream of being a Queen,
Of being decked out on royal robes,
Of having nearly infinite adoration.
A thin beam of sunlight shatters that dream.

But, you don't realize you ARE a Queen to someone,
Someone WILL be your Knight in shining armor.
If you just take their hand,
And give them what they already feel for you.

You'll probably never be a Queen of the world.
And you'll probably never have endless admirers.
But, you already have some.
Just look for them.



And, since I promised something wonderful inside this article, I'd better live
up to it, in case this didn't suit your expectations.  So, here's a vase of
flowers to brighten your day.  In any case, good luck.
