I'm sure I'll feel much more grateful when I find a guy who thinks complex wiring in a girl is a turn-on

The meaning behind my URL: the Gerb story has been told many, many times before (and 

    it wasn't all that memorable the first time)

A picture of me: see right

Not to scale

Last time I cried and why: today, after reading a birthday card and opening the accompanying present. I don't have words for where the tears came from, except to say that the card and gift were beyond my dreams.

Biggest turn offs: a hairy nose, limited taste in movies, or no hobbies

Top 5 favorite fruits:

    • raspberries

    • peaches

    • strawberries

    • Golden Delicious apples

    • mandarin oranges

Biggest turn-ons: long hugs, long talks, and silly moments

Age: older today than I've ever been before

Ideas of a perfect date: to quote the movie Tin Cup, "listening to that tuning fork, throwing caution to the wind and taking crazier risks I never thought possible." Winging it.

Life goal: inventing some life goals, I guess? The first that comes to mind is that I'd love to have something published.

Piercings I want: daith

A fact about my life: the only fate that I cannot fathom is to stop learning

Are you a virgin? shockingly, no

What’s your shoe size? EU 38

What’s your sexual orientation? upright, and with a lefthand twist

Do you smoke, drink, or take any drugs? sure! And thank you VERY much for the presents, Mr. Knot...

What’s one thing you regret? buying the Nordic-Track.

Favorite ice cream? Kemp's Sea Salt Caramel Truffle frozen yogurt, especially when the edges have softened a bit and the consistency has become a little foamy

One insecurity: being forgotten about

What my last text message says: "Traitor"
Have you ever painted your room? no, but I've paid someone else to do it. In the current abode, I'm still trying to decide about color schemes. Thinking of doing a dark ceiling with lighter walls, or else two dark (evergreen) and two light (creamy beige) walls. Regardless, it will wait until I've got discretionary money coming in again.

Have you ever slept naked? {insert dry laugh here}
