        I am going to repost my ad here and try to be a bit more specific and
even blunt about some things in order not to waste people's time and feelings
in the long run.  Sigh.
 
 
From: SWF on west coast; Greetings!
 
 
Creative individualist with substance (SWF) looking for like-minded buddies,
and maybe more...
(In terms of SO, only interested in someone who is also straight, monogamous,
disease-free, and single; politically pro-choice).  I did say I was going to be
blunt.
 
Music stuff:
It would DEFINITELY be in your favor if you liked RUSH (the Canadian trio). 
Through the years this group has inspired and validated many an individual,
many of my friends and myself included.  I'm an auditory and intellectual
person so I tend to listen to the drums, lyrics and complexity of a piece as
well as the overall feel and texture.  I don't like dance music (or dancing),
electronic drums, sexist or inane lyrics, and mention of rap is an automatic
deletion.  I like some jazz/swing (Buddy Rich), classic rock, some classical,
some hard rock/metal (with time changes), and show tunes.  I can listen to fun
music and blues, but the drummer has to be solid.
 
Coffee, philosophy & books, oh my:
I enjoy coffee (cafe' latte' and philosophical discussions) hanging out in
coffee shops with a variety of friends (I like the taste of coffee like some
people like chocolate).  I enjoy reading speculative fiction (Rod Serling,
Lester del Rey), mythologies and legends from around the world.  I want my own
OED when I grow up; make that before, it may never happen.
 
Annoying personal stats & bah-humbug on sports:
Let me see, I'm a cute child-like brat and I look at least ten years younger
then my chronological age on a bad day.  It also depends on my role, hair and
costume.  The last concert I went to, I was picked up on by high school guys; I
suppose that's indicative of something (maybe they were plastered:).  I'm not
really a risk taker, but more of a mental rebel.  I tend to analyze and
observe, and yet I can be an animated participant depending on the situation. 
I'm thirty-something, and yet I seem to get involved with younger guys (it
seems to work well, so I don't mess with it).  In general, they tend to be less
callous and complacent and more interesting and we have more things in common,
but like everything else it depends on the person.  I'm 5'8" and 125lbs on a
small frame (slim and shapely, but not at all athletic or into sports.  Archery
and frisbee are about it).  The only college game I ever attended was a
UCLA/Stanford basketball game because I liked the Stanford band (they were
nuts) and I can deal with basketball and gymnastics.  
 
Values:
I like people who have convictions, substance and ethics, who aren't 
afraid to be confrontive or shy, sensitive, and sweet as long as it's real. 
Wishy-washy people and people on control trips don't even bother responding. 
My background is central European so I have a rather open-minded yet moderate
view of alcohol.  I'm kind of a social cigarette smoker (often not at all at
home).  I can go for days without wanting a cigie, but when I do, I want to
enjoy it.  I do have a pretty strong no drugs attitude.  In general I've seen
the effects, the drugs and intentions have changed, and I have too much respect
for the mind (I haven't quite decided whether institutionalized religion and TV
are similar crutches).  I would consider myself spiritual, but fanatics annoy
me.
 
Education etc.
I'm a UCLA grad.(individual major w/a senior honor's thesis & about 40 post
grad semester units elsewhere,etc.; do people really care); I've never been
married, and I support myself fine.  So, physical and material stuff doesn't
really impress me (unless the person made it), nor does hearing tales of woe
and excuses from past emotional garbage;  I'd much rather play with legos, or
hear a live band with a decent drummer, or have a what if...conversation.  
 
What's important:
I like being around other CREATIVE people who understand and appreciate that
slanted perspective and wit.  Anybody working at ILM or the art department of
Lucus Film Games has a definite advantage.  Focused creativity, sillyness and
toys are fun to be around.  I would put creativity, learning, and individuality
as #1, definitely above family.  I can naturally be nurturing and protective,
yet I can live without family, but not creativity, learning and individuality. 
It helps to have friends who are creative or have that kind of commitment to
what they do, and can understand that.  
 
I tend to be attracted to the slim mental artzy type with the long or shaggy
mop hair, a decent vocabulary and innovative charm.  I like cute; it frazzels
my brain...like champagne, ya that's it ;)
 
Ah, I'm also a picky person (I bet you could tell this time =), so I am hoping
that the more specific and blunt I am  here, the better my chances will be of
getting quality over quantity responses (or at least creative, witty and
sincere ones).  The intent of this ad was not to offend anybody or their
values, but rather to give enough info. to weed out replies on this end and
save time and feelings.
 
I now return you baaaack to your regularly scheduled newsgroup posts...
dats all folks ;)
