Law Humor

"Insecure, moody and fairly damaged"? Say no more-I'm sold!

By NBlack

From a recent Craiglist posting:

Here's the thing, it's easy for people to lie about themselves, or even tell the truth but spin it. Given that, I can make myself look pretty damn good without saying anything untrue. I'm 24, single, extremely intelligent with a degree from a top ten school, attending a top 5 law school. I play guitar and sing very well, I've been in bands and I write lovely little pop songs. I'm cute, in a geeky, part-Jewish kind of way. I write well, I read tons, and I can talk about anything (except for most sports, though sometimes I can fake it.) I can hold my liquor but avoid drinking to extremes. I am funny as hell, with a quick, sarcastic wit. I cook-- once I've made you breakfast, you're mine. I am sweet, caring, and sensitive.

Thing is, the way people write about themselves around here, none of that sounds very special, does it? But there is more. Perfect on paper is boring in person, but I'm a lot more complicated than that. I'm insecure, moody, and fairly damaged-- I like to think of that as the bitter kick that makes the sweetness all the better. I'm also a little bit more sex-driven than the typical "perfect guy." That's probably a good thing too.

I'm not posting a photo cause my friends will mock me endlessly if they see this ad. Of course, I will trade. If you want to get to know me and find out all my dark secrets, just send me an email. Stand forewarned that I like long, thoughtful messages, both sending and receiving them.

Hat tip: Above The Law.
