I do useful things for all of humanity like rescue
snakes from old ladies with sticks. I like to
fix things. i work on my own car, and i'm an awfully good
electrician! air conditioners were my fave when i was a
chap. though i don't get terribly turned on by furnaces
anymore, it sure does save me and my friends
lots of cash when i can help. i once was a bit of a
computer guy, but after my code-writing-induced nervous
breakdown of 1997 (some of you might remember it),
i dropped that major and haven't looked back. sure, i would
like to have all that cash, but i'd rather be happy and just stick
with the PBR, right? i don't eat meat, except for chicken, but only
because i figure if everyone in the world would just eat
chicken and eggs three times a day for a couple of weeks
then those awful little beasts would be exterminated from
the earth forever. ick. fish are pretty yummy as well, but
i learned last year that i do indeed like them a lot
better if they are already dead before i swallow them. i
still have my tonsils and adenoids, and you can tell when
i talk. i need a lot of room when i dance. i like cheese
and triscuits and home improvement shows. i
don't like MSG, even though it's pretty fantastic tasting.
peoples parents usually love me. i hate duct tape because
it leaves a nasty residue. i feel sorry for roaches,
particularly the really big ones because they are
especially lighthearted and fun (and pretty tasty as
well). i like to hula-hoop and bowl (not at the same time).
i'm a terrific driver, but i hate driving. i hate talking on the phone.
i constantly clean things and feel my house can never be clean
enough. this is aggravated by the fact that i have a hard time throwing
anything out. my cats name is snatch. i cook well, bake even better, and no one can get the dirty dishes as clean as me. i grew up on a tobacco farm,
and my name is supposed to be spelled "west-leigh".

i want to re-meet someone from many years ago. he knows who he is.

i might want to meet you as well. your drama level must be in the low to moderate range, and you must have (at least) slightly less dramatic mood swings than me.

ability to hand me the appropriate tool while i'm under the car a plus.

and you must change your furnace filters often, and never run out of toilet paper. these are signs of good character!

oh, and you have to like beer, but i hope you don't like wallpaper or vinyl replacement windows.
