admit your weakness

[Jester]

The tall scary redhead is how they used to describe me...

What in the flying hell is scary about a tall redhead?

We are the home of Utilikilts.

The funny thing is, I am friends with a couple that actually sell Utilikilts. They've been trying to get me in one for years.

[AdminAssistant]

hmmm...

Physically:
nice average build
grey/smoky blue/green eyes
a nice tushie...something I can grab on to!
short hair
I'm not a fan of piercings or lots of visible tattoos. Or redheads.
Must spend less time primping than me

Non-physically:
fantastically odd sense of humor
Geeky (but not "owns 500 Star Wars figures and lives in Mom's basement" geeky)
Willingness to be amused by the amazing quirkyness that is ME
Be able to get into other cultures (watching foreign films*, listening to music that's not in English)
Like to sit around and watch movies (I run around enough during the week, when I have down time, I like to be lazy)
Must. Appreciate. Theatre.

*My first date with BT, we watched Delicatessan (Jeunet/Caro - it's AMAZING) He does still tease me a little for picking that movie - 'who picks a dark comedy about cannibalism for a first date movie?'

Mmmmmmmm, kilts...forgot to put that on my list. One of the best parts about the Scottish Festival and RenFair!

Shoot. So close. I fail on these two points. I'm both near-freakishly tall, and... solidly built, lets say. Or squishy, to be more accurate. And I've got brown eyes that sometimes look greenish in the right lighting.

For the others, I enjoy French movies quite a bit, after seeing Amelie, and there was a Russian film I really liked, so I'm open to pretty much anything. I spend about 15 minutes getting ready in the mornings, from bed to door. 20 if I have breakfast. I think I've established my geek/nerd cred on this board already And I do like theatre. Just not going alone, and none of my friends particularly like it, so I never get to go

I fit everything on that list except short hair, especially the last 3 on non-physical.


Although until I finish studying I live at home, but it's not in the basement.

You haven't met us.

I believe I mentioned in the Truths/Lies thread that my husband's nicknames for me have included Cobra and Stiletto.

I try not to be scary, well ok not really , it makes things more fun.

Actually it's just a no nonsense attitude that most people think makes me scary. Plus since I'm definately not the cute little perky giggly type, they had to come up with something. I'm always the one that everyone calls over when there's a problem.



So I do have to add to my list:
Is not intimidated by me.


You might just have to try one sometime. Just curiosity is it that you 've tried a kilt and didn't like it or you just don't ever want to wear one? It's all good either way.

ME! ! ! I love that movie and their other one. City of Lost Children. Both fantastic movies and so different in character. Ones a visual frenzy ( City) the other is as SS said a wonderfuly dark comedy.

Blue eyes

loves animals
a good, slightly off-kilter sense of humor

Shoot. So close.

Physical attributes are rarely/never dealbreakers with me. BT is just a bit shorter than me (and I'm 5'4"). I've dated tall and skinny, short and squishy. Don't make a bit of difference, to be honest. Actually, I prefer squishy to skinny - because I am rather squishy!

I would offer to go with you to the theatre, but I'd need a passport first! I'm not a fan of going by myself either, but I can. I started going to movies by myself last summer, and it took a couple of times before I really enjoyed it because I was so paranoid "Oh noes, I'm at the movies by myself, will people think I'm a loser?"

Then we've just got this pesky "distance" thing between us, eh?

and there was a Russian film I really liked,

Was it a Tarkovsky film? Because Tarkovsky's pretty awesome.

[Cookiesaur]

While I might initially be smitten by a pair of nice eyes or strong hands, I generally find that I become more attracted to a person the more I know about them. The smarter someone is, the more good-looking they become to me.

As far as weaknesses, though?
- Gray eyes
- Smart-ass sense of humour (oh, God, I love dry wit)
- Willingness to try new things (especially if they're cooked by me and look more than a little dubious)
- A smug grin
- Strong hands
- Tolerance
- A love of cheesy horror movies/splatterflicks

The last one is especially important. In my late teens, I ended a very promising/intense relationship with a guy when I found out he was more than a little homophobic and hostile towards different religions.

Also, it's pretty important that they know what to do in the event of a zombie outbreak, because baby, I am prepared for EVERYTHING.

I've no idea. I just remember the name. Russian Ark. It was all in Russian, no subtitles, so I don't know what it was about. But it was very interesting. Filmed in one take, in one shot. The whole length. I enjoyed just the feel of it so much I've deliberately avoided finding out anything about it. The story in my head's a nice ever-shifting thing.

Hmm, let's see

- Nope Brown eyes
-Well, I am English so... :P
- As a former chef I'm encountered plenty of dubious foods, including a sweet and sour sauce that WILL know you on your ass, quite literally.
- I don't grin too much, smirk maybe.
- Rather strong hands
- I'm so tolerant I'm pretty much if it isn't against the law or hurting anyone involved, go for it.
- Yep, I love those, the more over the top and cheesy the better (You seen Feast?)

And I have a rather good place that is good for zombie invasions, one way in through the ground floor easily barricaded if need be, my flat is upstairs, so one way in and if that is breached, two ways out, albeit up a storey but easy enough to hang and drop
