If you'd like a rundown of stats, I'm over 30, a Pisces, 6'1" tall, 180 pounds, divorced, I have an MBA, I live in Seattle where I work for the west coast offices of Hamilton-Fairhaven Savings and Loan, my favorite color is blue, and I love dogs. But that's not who I am.

I am your average nice guy. I like people, I love my friends, I'm a devoted son and a loyal employee. If you look up the word "normal" in the dictionary, you'll probably find my picture. Unfortunately, it's most likely cross-referenced with "boring." You know that guy everyone can turn to in a pinch? I'm that guy. Everyone likes having a friend like me around because they know I can be counted on to help them out in any way they'll need it. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that no one would actually want to trade places with me.

I can be funny, I can be annoying. I'm hard to anger, but the rare occasion that does happen, it's probably best to walk away from me. I know my limitations, and I understand my weaknesses. I'm also aware of my strengths, and I know what to do to be successful. Sometimes I have trouble with my drive to succeed, though, but I'm all right with that.

Every now and then I think I'm defined by my relationships. When I was married, I was whatever my wife expected of me. When we divorced and I became involved with my best friend, I was probably trying to be whatever he wanted me to be. I think that's why we decided to go back to being just friends. Now, I'm not so sure how I'm defined. I do know that the man I'm currently seeing makes me feel like no one else has in a long time, and I'm not scurrying to be anything but who I am. He seems to like that, even the boring parts.

I guess, overall, I'm a work in progress.

Thanks, Iris. It's because of good friends like you that I am, you know. If I was all alone, I'd be miserable.

You like dogs? *sits down and scratches ear* I like humans.

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

*grins* I like dogs, very much. I have one, myself. I'm glad you like humans. I hope he does.

[dag-dexter.livejournal.com]

*nods* Most of humans are nice and they have beer and those bone shaped jerky treats...

I feel the same way about dogs! And the bad ones are just the victims of bad owners.
