Dunno if you’ve heard about our dating site Creative Loving, but it’s a place where folks can post personal ads and photos in an attempt to find love … or a variation on the theme. I found this ad on the site from a dude named mayham25:

I am 25 years old and i am looking for someone except me for who I am. Someone you is honest, kind, smart, funny and someone who like to have a good time. I like to go movies and listen to music. I also like to watch football on the tv or go to a game, Or just hang out with friends and shoot pool.

 

He also adds:

You will never beat me at a game of basketball

If you are a super-hero, what is your power? to run faster then a bullet

My favorite movies are starship trooper, spiderman, wedding crasher, the mask, and click

Any takers?

CHARLOTTE — Alcoholics Anonymous* meetings will temporarily shut down Wednesday when Creative Loafing, the city’s premier (and only) alternative weekly welcomes new writer Cheris Hodges to the fold.

The newspaper will welcome Hodges 6 p.m. at Prevue, the NoDa bar that has quickly gained attention for debauchery since editor Carlton Hargro began hosting the weekly Poplife party.

“I hope my health insurance kicks in soon,” Hodges said upon hearing the
news. “It looks like I’m going to need it.”

Hodges comes to the Loaf from the Charlotte Post, where she was features
editor. A published novelist and experienced journalist, Hodges also has
canoodled with bestselling novelists and was credited with Karl Rove’s
heart-wrenching decision to leave the Bush administration. Or so we hear.

All Creative Loafing staffers and their friends (at least the ones they
don’t owe money) are invited to attend.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to buy Karen a beer,” said Kim Lawson,
operations editor. “It’s my way of giving back to the community.”

Prevue is at 2909 N. Davidson St.
