I will be very disappointed if any of the judjes give more than 0 for this one.

You are right!
Where are your votes for Mr Intellectual ladies
sorry...
LG started the voting for M's question and sent me down that road...
4 judges voted on this Q - VF was the only one who didn't HCM me, if she still wants to she can and I'll adjust it. I'm trying to keep this thing moving is all...

Sorry... I am kinda annoyed by the fact that I was still thinking about this comment even after I logged off {score a point}
So, although Pandora has been busy in RL, I'm asking her to take over the running of this - I'll still judge though.
As Pandora is a top chick, she'll say yes
So if all judges could send their votes to her in future that would be awesome
This is only HC, and it is meant to be a fun game, thass it. I'd hate it to die like other threads here have done over something so silly.
Your entries must have struck a cord with LG though because she actually logged in and voted
lol
anyway...
I'm also retracting Russ's score until at least one other person can vote on his entry - 2 judges isn't really fair - appologies Russ.
thass it, have fun and don't forget to answer VF's Question All

A long time ago the subtle waves of emotion on my life used to be quite a bit larger. So large in fact that I thought maybe I had a mental illness. Like a seizometer needle sketching a turbulent path while the ground below it quivered and percolated my emotional state would bounce and spike with no ability to predict or control it.
During the most persistent and extreme nadirs I would occasionally think of doing away with myself and forever being rid of my troubling inability to maintain focus. I never really considered it though because I knew that my mother would be shattered.
Logically, being dead is actually quite a stable place to be. But if you want to consider not offing yourself as being a stabilizing force in your life than I think my mom would qualify.
She's still around. She never really knew I dipped so low either. I still call her once every couple of weeks- more if I've got news.

You did say a few paragraphs, right...
I've told parts of my story here already, at HC, and it's pointless imo to repeat what I have already said. Summarized, I've been on the run between my 20 and 24. And even though it looked as if I was doing allright to the outside world, getting one degree or diploma after another, and making the best of the chances I got... actually I was just running away, filling my time as much as I could to avoid having to stand still and think.
Then at some point a lot of things came together all at once. I got a message from the past, making my reasons to run obsolete. I graduated in informatics. I got a full time job. And I moved back to Ghent. All of this together sent me crashing into a wall, realizing I didn't like informatics. I didn't like a lot of the choices I had blindlessly made over the past few years. I didn't like the direction I was heading in, and I didn't really like the situation my life was in alltogether. Honestly I think it was some sort of mid life, or identity crisis, but at younger age than most men have.
Under these circumstances I met a girl online, and we fell in love. Though her ideas about a lot of things are very similar to mine, she's very rational and down to earth. She really did put my feet back on the ground. Unfortunately I couldn't cope with the distance part of an online relationship, and for her I don't think the time was right to start anything serious at that point, so we split. But even afterwards we kept talking, and she's been like an anchor to me, and I still consider her to be one of the best friends I have.
Today, I know what I want to do with my life, and where I want to be in 5, 10 and even 20 years. I am well aware of my strengths and weaknesses, and live every day very consciously and to its fullest. This has a huge impact towards determination and perseverance, on all aspects of my life.
Most of the time I don't need an anchor anymore, because I have found peace within myself and with the world. Sometimes though, when the craziness pours through, it's good to have a friend who is like a beacon or a lighthouse, leading you safely back to port.

Classy:
No one is more suave then a guy that comes through in the clutch like David Ortiz. Whenever the game is on the line he comes through big and with all the style you could have. Game winning homerun after game winning homerun.
I'm the classiest, because I always do my best to treat everyone fair and with my utmost respect. I will also apologize shortly after I show anyone disrespect, even to those I do not like or feel have wronged me as well.
Sexy:
(You girls really like to force the issue of making us look self-absorbed dont you? Lucky I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep.)
My smile probably says everything about me. It's genuine, lighthearted, and at times a little devilish. So here's a pic of me smiling.
Intellectual Quality:

This is most important thing on the site for anyone to read. It touches all of our lives, even others we know in real life. Everyone deals with addiction in some form at some point in their life.
Question:
Quote:
You're in a long-term relationship and live with your special someone. One night you come back home and see your lady in bed... naked with another naked lady. What are you going to think? How are you going to react?
All I can say is I know I'd be rip****. I wouldn't hurt anyone, but I'd probably swear a lot and throw a couple insults. Then, I'd either leave myself or demand someone else to leave. If I insulted the strange woman, I'd pull it together and apologize to her.

When I was younger, I was very smart and my social skills weren't completely there. My parents separated when I was about two years old and at the time my understanding of what was happening was far more than I should have at my age. I complained when my dad left that he didn't have any place to sleep. I could read, write, do my times tables by the time I was four. Intellectually and socially I just couldn't relate to my peers. Much older children and adults I got along with much better.
I really didn't have any friends until I moved to a subsidized apartment complex in my hometown. The family who lived next door just moved in a couple weeks before us. And a young boy, about my age lived there. He was my first real friend. The other kids in the neighborhood didn't accept me too much, because I was different. But my friend Mike just accepted me for who I was. And we were best friends for a long time.
As we entered high school, we went to different schools. I still wasn't all that social, but I had a few friends who were a lot like me. However my friend started hanging out with the kids that drank and got high. By the time we graduated, he was a bigtime stoner and I still didn't even drink. He got married just last month down in Alabama. I really wish I could have gone, but I couldn't because of school. If he called me up sometime though and needed help with something, I'd do my best to help him. Even if I hadn't heard from him in 20 years.
To this day that's the way I am with all my really close friends. After a certain point, time just doesn't change anything to me. I just love them like brothers.
Another time was my senior year of High School. The group I was hanging out with decided that I was no longer cool to hang out with or an snow or whatever. Around the time for Senior Prom, all of them were splitting a limosine and they invited a few other people that they never even hung out with, before even telling me about it. Well one of my friends in that group who never shunned me got me invited to the limo. When we talked about it, he just said, "I'll take care of it." I could tell that the others had been talking about me, behind my back and he stood up for me to their disagreements.
Out of my entire graduating class, he's really one of my only friends from that high school with whom I still keep in touch. This past week, he and his girlfriend both turned 21, so I'm gonna take em out to the bars this weekend.

I was eight years old when things got real rough. My mom was three years clean and sober. But instead of improving her mood all she had was the rage without a stopper for it. Sometimes my brother, sister and I wished she went back to drinking and popping pills just to have some sanity back.
During this time I started getting pangs to have a dog for a pet. Truth to tell, I couldn't tell anyone why. We had three cats in the house but I'd tortured them so thoroughly over the years that they scattered whenever I walked into a room they were occupying. And in any event, one of the cats, Ichabod, had a perpetual string of snot coming out of his nose. So petting him was always done at my own risk. And don't get me started on the perils of letting my arm hang over the side of my bed at night with my door open.
I found a stray, a german shepherd mix, and with tears in my eyes begged my mom to keep him. My sister had terrible asthma and allergies so my mom's hesitation was strictly medical. But after enough empty promises to feed and take care of him till the rest of my days, she relented. I named him Clyde in honor of one of the ghosts from Pac-Man.
So during this awful year of '83, which culminated in my mother giving up custody of us, I had a rock. He was my dog. Late at night while I was dreaming of far away places, of dungeons & dragons, of heroic deeds and bad guys named Demogorgon and salivating at treasure types H, U, and V, my dog rested with me. When things were real bad I could talk to him. All I would get from him was this contented smacking of his lips while I scratched his ears. I could speak to him for hours about my woes and his response would be to sigh and give me his belly, as if he was telling me, "Less talking and more scratching please!"
He was put down when I was 17. Cancer had ravaged his mouth and finally spread to his brain. My mother and I took him to the vet to put him down. I held my face some six inches away from his while his life seeped from him. I guess it was important to me that I was the last thing he saw. It was important to me he see my gratitude for his years of faithful friendship.
What does he mean to me now? Like any child's vision of their first pet, he set the standard for those who came after him. Many have tried. None have succeeded. Some of them knew it. I could swear they felt it. And they would look at me with their soulful eyes and silently ask me why I didn't love them the way I loved Clyde.
I've never been able to answer their most simple question. I doubt I ever will.
