rootofnewtWanted: Chicago area friend for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jkatj. For some reason, she wants a man-friend, but maybe what she really wants is someone who can handle sheetrock and power tools. Or maybe she just wants to talk to someone who is more masculine than she is, but not to the point of spitting tobaccy juice into a styrofoam cup. In addition, I think she needs a wider social circle. A love for Duran Duran or horrible cover songs is probably essential, but she might be willing to compromise. Wacky sense of humor, a fondness for literary criticism, willingness to put up with migrating cat hair, and non-stalker traits preferable. She has a distinct intolerance for backstabbing and she's paranoid about squid getting into the litterbox. She likes rainbows more than you do and she'll stomp you with her combat boots if you challenge her on it.
What's more, she's painfully shy, so people who are willing to zap her with tasers are probably a wise choice. She's not pathetic, but she'll probably think I'm making her sound that way by putting this notice up. I'm just trying to prevent her from turning into a crazy cat lady . . . or something. Drop her an email and get together to build a potato gun, I promise you won't regret it.

Date: 2005-04-09 12:19 am (UTC)I'm in the burbs but sure, I'll give it a go. However, I'm not masculine in the least bit and neither is my husband. Wait, that sounded bad. He's into sports, not work.
feh!

Date: 2005-04-09 03:56 am (UTC)Now, wait one cotton-pickin' minute. What makes you think that I would want a "friendly" person around me. You've met me, do you really think that's the adjective that would take top billing?

Well, man-friends do tend to be lower maintenance than non-man friends. And they're better to use for scaring off undesirables. They're like big, bipedal dogs, only you don't have to pick up their shit in a plastic grocery bag when out in public.
Very often.

If that's all it was, Hockey Head would fit the bill, and I'd have long blissful days full of vegetarian jokes and sexual innuendo stretching before me like heaven on earth.
Oh, wait, I already do. **dreamy sigh**

"Horrible cover songs"?!??!?!! How dare you. My cover song collection is . . . beautiful. It's charming and delightful. My cover songs will save the world. Try to imagine the world without a copy of Joe Pesci singing "Gotta Get You into My Life." The bleakness is overwhelming, isn't it? Now apologize to my cover songs before I sic them on you.
>She has a distinct intolerance for backstabbing and
>she's paranoid about squid getting into the litterbox.
Well, you try cleaning squid ink out of the litter. It is not a pretty sight. And if you don't get to it quick enough, the cats step in it and leave little squid-ink-colored cat paw prints all over the floor. Ay-yi-yi. It really is best to just make sure the squid plays somewhere else.
>She's not pathetic, but she'll probably think I'm making
>her sound that way by putting this notice up.
I don't think you've made me sound pathetic in the least. Just a little scary. A little worrisome. A little exhibiting the signs of a sociopath. **shifty eyes** Move along. Nothing to see here. **even shiftier eyes**
>I'm just trying to prevent her from turning into a crazy cat
>lady . . . or something.
Oh, yggy, my dear. I think you are too late. I cannot move from the spot I'm sitting in without disturbing three of the delicious beasts.

Lacking covers, per se, horrible remixes will do:

I don't have much uploaded right now. Here's a couple, though:
If I Had a Hammer
Nothin' But A 'G' Thing
And, while not a cover song, a little something to make you think of the scary world right outside your door.
And what happens when a crotchety aging music icon and a crotchety aging geek icon get together.
