THE TINKERER



Wants: To apply all his nerdy McGyver skills to the art of partying

Needs: To wrap his agile mind around something a little more important than his elaborate plans for next year's Burning Man

Mainly Concentrating On: Whether or not it really made sense to buy that life-sized Rambo cut-out at the Pasadena flea market just because "it looks sorta funny in the livingroom"

Benefits: He has an entertaining theory on the meaning of life (revealed to him while doing nitrous hits) which has something to do with prime numbers.

Drawbacks: Hopefully he'll complete his theory before his lips turn blue.

Fun: You never imagined you'd do ecstasy at Disneyland! You feel like a kid again!

Not-So-Fun: It's impossible to imagine having kids with this kid.

Deepest, Darkest Secret: He still plays Dungeons & Dragons regularly.

With Him, You'll Be: Entertained, yet annoyed




MR. JUMPY



Wants: To get laid regularly without having to hold your hand while you're sobbing piteously

Needs: To grow the fuck up already

Mainly Concentrating On: How he's totally there for you, completely there for you, but the tone of your voice just now seemed to indicate that you might be feeling a little bit depressed lately, which might mean that you could start crying at any moment, and quite frankly that makes him uncomfortable

Benefits: He's funny, creative, smart, and successful. What more could you ask for?

Drawbacks: You'd better not ask for more, or he's outta here.

Fun: He's more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

Not-So-Fun: A monkey would at least hand you a Kleenex if you started to cry.

Deepest, Darkest Secret: At age 29, he was known as "Mr. Flinchy". Now he's 32, and he's matured enough to know that he needs an intricate web of rationalizations to justify his inability to offer the slightest shred of emotional support to you. Lucky for him, these rationalizations seem to be working pretty well on you so far.

With Him, You'll Be: An emotionally volatile masochist
