PJ Harvey is a person.
I know that know, and I didn't then. I also noticed a lot of minor typos and kind of wanted to fix them, but they're hard to remember where you found them. I was considering running a big contest for people who point out typos, where the prize would be mad propz or something. But I don't know.
Right now I'm at work and in an hour I get to go home. I've decided to attempt to be constructive and write a journal on a topic I was sort of thinking about in advance. However, with the incoming phone calls, it's unlikely I can write that much in one hour, so I may send this to myself at home, I guess.
So, yesterday my sisters kept phoning me, trying to reach my mom who had spent the day at their houses. It's nice to talk to them, but in a way it was annoying because I was doing stuff. Anyways, among other things, Carrie told me we were going to the cottage next weekend. I'd known about that but kind of forgotten, and I was confused. I also didn't know whether I was going to be working that weekend (it was unlikely but possible). Anyways, I had forgotten that someone else had made plans for me.
Carrie advised that I get a girlfriend who could do my planning for me as well as keep track of my agenda. It seemed like a pretty good idea. She also said, "That's what Pat needed, but now he wonders why he ever got himself into this". Aside from that last part, I think having a girlfriend might help me get my shit together. Carrie suggested I make a want-ad or somesuch that she could direct people to.

She probably thought that was pretty funny, but I decided I'd just express what kind of girls I like here. Or maybe not so much the girls I like as the girls I don't like. Whatever. It's not just a matter of seriously finding someone like this, but it's also an interesting aspect of my personality. I think Liz went out with Jeff the first time from some kind of ad, at least that's the story I heard.
1. Physical Characteristics
Unlike Brian, I don't necessarily like girls with enormous breasts. I outgrew breastfeeding weeks ago. Breasts, even at the best of times, are still awkward and distracting. They're not necessarily bad, but they aren't important to me.
All of the girls I liked most in the past, when I think about it, are kinda average-looking. That's a strange way to put it, and it's not like the non-average need not apply, it's just how it works out. They're never really skinny or really huge. They always seem to have kinda long brown hair, but I think that's just a coincedence.

Altogether the requirements aren't too hard to fulfill here. I'm very poor at describing people unless they look like somebody or something else (ie. "Adam, the Italian guy, he looks like Jesus when his hair is long"). But looking like somebody else is bad. So, a key requirement is that you be hard to describe other than your hair colour. I'm bad with colours, too. Like mauve... what the fuck is that?
2. Tolerance
I do a lot of stupid things, and I say a lot of stupid things, and I do a LOT of stupid things. I also say stupid things. But y'know, altogether I'm probably below average in the stupid department. The tolerance really focuses on your opinions of the things I appreciate. I would have trouble going out with a girl who didn't like Eels, for example. You wouldn't have to like every song (nobody does -- "Baby Genius"), but a content indifference or better would be excellent.
I also play video games. Sometimes I stop doing that for a few months, but right now I do. I do it often, but it's not important to me, and when there are other things to do I do them. This is a stark contrast to Wai, who sometimes pisses me off because he played games instead of doing his share of the work. Wai's cool though (and that's what I mean by tolerance).
I'm really laid back. I get into debates on things, but only when they're unimportant (like random). You would have trouble suggesting to me someone I find annoying (though there are several), but you would find it impossible to name someone who's so annoying I wish them dead. Most of my friends are pretty annoying. You would have to tolerate them, too.

On weekends, there is little I want to do more than have a group of friends over to drink (sometimes alcoholic, sometimes just a lot of coffee or Diet Pepsi), play video games or board games, listen to music, idly chat, and swear excessively for no reason while I drink. This is the epitome of relaxation. Seriously. For those who haven't tried it, you're stupid. We also play with my camera a lot for no real reason. Pictures are nice.
I don't smoke, and I probably wouldn't date a smoker because I don't want to stand outside in the cold and burn money. I might consider dating a smoker if they had an infinite supply of free cigarettes and didn't ever want me to stand around them while they did it. They would also need a unicorn, because that would be neat.
Oh, and I might correct your spelling or grammar. Nobody likes it, but someone's gotta do it.
3. Interests
It seems like there should be an interests section, but I think I covered a lot of it in the above section. Some others are that I like spreadsheets... and I like to start a lot of things and never finish them. I used to buy Transformers, but then I decided that I can appreciate them without buying them, especially since Josh has all of them.
I run a blog-like website for myself and my friends occasionally in my spare time. It often falls under the "things I start and not finish" category when I intend to change it or whatever. Other than that there's no real reason for it.
It's more of a disinterest, but I don't really like movies. They themselves are okay, but going to see movies does not strike me as being a social occasion. Furthermore, I think I could come up more fun ways to spend $10 and two hours. Off the top of my head... preparing 240 water balloons. That would be awesome, and Jesse totally wouldn't see it coming.
I'm actually going to just end because I've run out of time and the ideas are flowing less freely. Peace out.
Note that I say "peace out" a lot, and I've mentioned this before, but it doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't know what it is supposed to mean, really.
