*sigh* My headache finally abated, and I had a great lunch with Hyde_grrl. Felt good to laugh, especially after the morning from hell I had this morning. We started talking about Lavalife, and she told me that she hadn't seen my profile in a while, so I figured I'd revamp it a bit. It's expanded under the cut. I'd like your feedback on it, before I put it online. Be honest now :)
Lavalife Profile
It's been a while since this profile was written, so I thought I'd dust it off. First and foremost, I'm looking to meet a friend. So far, my LL experience has been positive, in that I've met a few people that became very good friends. I'm still looking for someone to go beyond friendship with though.
I'm a jeans & T-shirt kind of guy who's looking to meet someone fairly down to earth to share in the simple joys of life: a good meal, beautiful music, cuddling on the couch watching a movie and sleeping in on weekends. Music is a passion in my life, so you enjoy as broad a musical palette as I do (jazz, classical, classic rock, oldies, pop, gregorian chant, electronica, heavy metal, and whatever else tickles my fancy at the moment).
It takes me a bit of time to open up to new people I meet, though I enjoy a good conversation. I've been told I'm a good listener. I'm also fairly direct and I mean what I say. I'm attracted by intelligence, curiosity and humour. In the hands of the right person, it's a combination that can have me laughing until it hurts and keep me up until the wee hours of the morning.
So what am I looking for? Like you, I'm looking for someone special. I want us to be so comfortable around each other that we can give in to the silliness that sometimes needs to be let loose. I want to be able to lose myself in your eyes and see the kind, passionate woman that you are. These things won't happen overnight, but I'm willing to take all the time in the world. Good things come to those who wait.
If you're still reading, here are some mundane facts about myself. I have a master's degree in biochemistry and a degree in computer science. I currently work as a software developer for a bioinformatics consulting firm. The weirdest thing I've ever done was going to work in my pyjamas and I have way too many books (I average one paperback a week). I'm perfectly bilingual (je suis francophone).
So, if you're curious, please feel free to say hello.
It's good except I would scratch the phrase “..tickles my fancy”. It just makes you sound old :s
And going to work in pyjamas is not that extreme nor weird :P

I never said it was extreme, just not something I normally do :)
