Re: Online dating (again)

Firstly, I think I've thought/fretted about the possibility of having a wrist injury too much and now have developed psychosomatic wrist pain. Ugh. 

Anyways, I am sort of considering yet again attempting to do online dating. But first, I think I need to update my profile information a little bit. 

So, what follows is a very honest profile which I don't actually think would attract many people (but makes for a good blog post), but this is what I actually think. 

Self summary: Notice: PETER SARSGAARD LOOKALIKES WELCOME (PREFERRED - but please shave). No conservatives need apply. 
I like reading about serial killers/murderers/unsolved crimes, as well as things related to various areas of the humanities. I'm particular about what kinds of writing utensils I use, and I like to keep my fingernails a decent length. I try to keep up with the news and what's happening in the world. Occasional giver of strange compliments, like "you have nice teeth" or "you turn pages nicely" - two compliments I've actually said to real people. I think I have pretty good attention to detail regarding lots of things, like set decoration in movies or tv shows. I like to write down my dreams if I remember them when I wake up so I can try to analyze them. 

What I'm doing with my life: Spending/wasting time putting (too much?) effort into my blog, sleeping a lot, trying to finish crochet projects, worrying that other people I know of will be more successful than me, staying in the house and not having a social life, contemplating becoming a future starving linguist and/or copy editor and/or set decorator, 

I'm really good at: Obsessing over anything and everything, spending too much time thinking about things that "don't matter", shopping, staring at people, being indecisive, collecting stuff (all kinds of it), a certain illegal activity, staying in the house because I'm too lazy to walk to the bus stop, plucking the leaves off of pineapples, eating unhealthily and not getting that fat from it 

Favorite (books, movies, tv, music, food)
books: Into the Wild, Millennium trilogy, Cloud Atlas, 1984, Sabotage in the American Workplace
movies: Shattered Glass, Experimenter, Casino Royale, Shutter Island, Memento, Requiem for a Dream, The Philosophers
television: Law and Order Criminal Intent, 1999-2011 Law and Order SVU, The Killing, Arrested Development, The Office UK, political humor like Colbert & the Daily Show
music: Augustana, Muse, The Killers, an assortment of other more or less similar artists 
food: various types of hot sauce, spicy salmon sushi, chicken parmesan from Macaroni Grill, Big Macs, peach rings, caramel cream candy, salt and vinegar potato chips, funnel cake, onion petals from Outback, filet and cheese and bacon fries from Outback, tres leches cake, frozen cheesecake, fried shrimp, crabcakes, orange/vanilla ice cream, certain frozen tv dinners, Caesar salad with lots of dressing, buttery biscuits

6 things I could not live without: internet, air conditioning/heat, food, good looking people to feast my eyes on, all of the stuff I've collected, 

Spend a lot of time thinking about: if my writing is actually similar to that of David Sedaris, which movie I should watch next, what would be interesting sayings to put on a t shirt, Peter Sarsgaard, Peter Sarsgaard's face and voice, what Peter Sarsgaard buys at Whole Foods (or whichever grocery store he goes to, but I feel like he's the kind of person who might shop at Whole Foods), other favorite actors aside from Peter Sarsgaard, what yarn I want to add to my already sizable collection, ideas for movies I'd make if I were a director, if I'll ever get to travel to Sweden, how I'm going to forget the other languages I know (sad face), people who look like other people, what it would be like to be a drug addict  

Most private thing I'm willing to admit: So many of the people on this website [okcupid] are one or a combination of the following (none of which are appealing to me): only average looking, boring, ugly. So what, I'm sort of shallow. Sue me. 

On a typical Friday night: at home relaxing/being lazy, spending a lot of time thinking about the things I put in the "I spend a lot of time thinking about" section 

Message me if: you look like Peter Sarsgaard/are otherwise good looking, are around my age, are interesting (this is a MUST), can hold a good conversation (also another must), value proper spelling and grammar, want to go shopping and people watching with me, are not obsessed with video games, value the humanities, have an opinion about modern art, are not a psycho and/or murderer/rapist, have well-kept fingernails   


It would be interesting to put this as my actual profile and see what happens... Maybe I will to shake things up a little. I wonder how likable this profile comes across.

Also, out of curiosity I googled "prison fingernails" to try and find out some information about how prisoners clip their nails. It turns out that I was right about nail clippers being a restricted item. I think it would have been really cool, from my (meaning someone who just can't get enough of Peter Sarsgaard) point of view, to have a scene in The Killing where Peter's prisoner character is getting his nails cut (according to something I read, in some prisons the prisoners will get their nails cut by the medical staff, or the guards will watch them closely while they cut their own nails. I don't think I'd like to work in a prison). Since they were so nice and neat looking in that one picture. It reminds me somewhat of that one postsecret from the person who didn't like getting their hair washed in the salon because they felt it was too intimate of an experience. I think the theoretical nail clipping scene could be sort of intimate in a weird way. If I ever am in charge of a tv show/movie that takes place in a prison, I think I'd want to have a nail clipping scene like such. If, theoretically, I saw Peter in public and happened to get a decent glance at his hands and fingernails and they looked well-kept, maybe I'd tell him "You have nice fingernails"...
