My friends are important to me. Music is important to me. Books are important to me. I'm neat and organized, but not compelled to impose that on others. I have a large amount of obscure trivia in my mind. I like cats and don't care for dogs. I'm fussy about food, but trying to broaden my tastes. I don't smoke. I love my new hometown, Seattle, and my old home in the Boston/New England area. I enjoy driving. I can't talk about professional sports. I'm liberal Roman Catholic (more liberal than Catholic). I'm French-Canadian by descent, but speak only rudimentary French (my reading comprehension is better). I'm honest to a fault, but I have a sense of tact. Although I often seem like a serious person, I take myself less seriously than many people realize. I come from a loud family and can be quite loud around people I know well, yet I've been described as soft-spoken.

If I don't already know you outside Friendster, I will not add you as a friend. If you're looking for romance but you're not living in Seattle, I probably will not respond to your messages.

Dating-wise, a woman around my age or younger, non-smoker. Someone who shares some of my musical tastes, and likes to catch club shows and go dancing occasionally. Someone who finds wordplay and obscure reference jokes amusing. Ideally someone who likes gaming (role-playing games), but I'd be happy with someone who simply understands it's not something I 'ought to grow out of.' Preferably someone not allergic to cats, as I now have one of my own.
