what would my profile be?

If I'm going to start dating again, I will probably go back online.  My friends don't fix me up, and most of my "free" time is spent running or biking or swimming.  I did join a tri club, but it's all women... Last night, a lovely Saturday night, I had people over for dinner and begged out of going to a big Haiti fundraiser afterwards that would have been really fun & interesting & surrounded me with lots of new people.  So, you see, I'm not meeting people "out" or through friends.  Occasionally I do speed-dating, I might try a meet-up, but I'm probably headed back on-line.  Does that make me an armchair quarterback of dating?  Or a lazy slug on the sofa who can poo-poo guys via my laptop with re-runs of Glee playing in the background?

I have profile.  While it isn't totally generic sounding, it has been a year or so and it might be time to freshen it up a little bit.  So I was thinking about what I could say about myself that might draw a little more attention...  What would my profile say if I wrote it this morning?  Here's the list I'm starting with:

• I'm truly energetic while totally over-committed! So really, I'm just tired by the time I see you.  And I can't have caffeine.  Oh lord help you if you give me too much caffeine.
• In a few weeks I'll be officially "unemployed" -- but don't worry, I'm not looking for a sugar daddy.  Maybe I should be, but I'm too independent for that.  "Unemployed" because, well, I won't be sitting still.
  
• I love to cook, but don't share my kitchen...  until it's time to do the dishes at which point the kitchen is yours.  That's partnership, right?
• Movies, movies, movies... I hardly ever see them.  It makes me an oddity, and is one of the few subjects (going to see movies) that makes me sound older than I really am.
• Yes, I really do triathlons.  Yes, I workout like that and still carry 10 extra pounds.  I love to eat.  The 10 pounds aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
• A guitar sits, dusty, in my living room.  If I really want you to like me, I will practice and try to play for you.  It's been a long time since I wanted someone to like me that much, so I apologize for your bleeding ears now.
• The photographs on the walls are mostly mine.  Proof that I have a hobby!
• I don't have cable or satellite or anything fancy like that, but I do have a media computer hooked up to my HDTV. 
• Car?  Who needs one!  I walk, take public transit, and use that fancy Zipcar when I need to.    It's not because I can't afford it, or because of my staunch environmentalism -- I just don't want to care for a car, and seem to get around just fine without owning one.  it's lovely.
• Worms live on my deck.  And eat my compostables. OK, maybe I am a bit of environmentalist.  Or I'm kind of fascinated by worms.  I desperately want to grow a vegetable garden on my deck, but sadly only the worms like the amount of shade my deck gets.
• In general, I get fascinated by the littlest things. Science museums for kids are an incredible place to take me.  I go stargazing even though I know nothing about the constellations.  I actually do make a point of watching sunsets, and have a vista point where I go regularly to do so. 
• I chose following my heart over making a lot of money in high tech.  I struggle with it, but wouldn't change my mind for a million years.
  
• Jewish matters.  I may not make it to temple all the time, but Jewish defines me.  That does not mean I'm turning into a Jewish mother, or am some kind of Jewish American Princess.  I'll go backpacking, volunteer for Habitat in New Orleans post-Katrina and only make laughable attempts at guilt trips.  I mean I care about the cultural/holidays/etc.
  
• My friends don't think I have baggage, or any more than you do.  I suppose they would lie just to make me feel better, but they never have so I don't know why they would start now.  And yes, you do  have to pass muster with my friends.  And family.  Sorry, but they've been around long enough to earn the right to an opinion.  And I love spending time with them...  It's like the HIMYM porch test.
• We haven't even made it to the wineaux, traveler, do-I-want-kids part of things yet, and I'm tired of reading about me!
• Lest I forget... I'm a bit of a story teller. 
  

While this is all fine & dandy, I'm not sure that an on-line profile it makes.  But then again, don't the guys only look at the pictures anyway?  Time to make buddies with a photographer who can make my extra 10 pounds look as sexy as I think they are.   Oh, and then I have to come up with a "screen name" that sounds catchy and inventive in 15 characters or less, no spaces. 

And maybe trim the above down to "single, attractive women likes watching sunsets and sipping wine - seeks single man to do the same."
