LexF's Profile

August 29, 2010 -- I'm an author (5 books published so far) looking for someone intelligent, creative, with a good sense of humor, good communications skills, and who lives down the street from me.

OK, that last part might not be feasible, but you know what I mean.

I have to admit that I do find myself inexplicably attracted to girls who wear glasses, or who wear egregious amounts of eye makeup. Probably not both together, though, because it could be messy, and smudgy.

My deal-breakers: I will not get involved with anyone who has kids, or who uses drugs or alcohol. Period. No exceptions, unless you're Billie Piper.

July 20, 2010 -- Just sent the new book off to the publisher -- I decided to take a break from the "Moving Day" sci-fi series, so this new one is called "Lex Fonteyne's Ultimate Guide to Internet Dating," and it will probably be available through Amazon by next week. Now, I realize that me writing a book about internet dating is sort of like George Bush writing a book about nuclear physics (except his would have more misspelled words), but everybody needs a project.

July 14, 2010 -- In case you were wondering, this pic is me using a Pentax Optio SV camera to take a picture of me taking a picture of myself with a camera phone. I'm satirizing those stupid MySpace "bathroom-mirror-cell-phone-camera" pics by jacking up the stupidity level by a notch. OK, it's pretty esoteric and I doubt if anybody will get it, but it took me like 15 minutes to get the damn thing set up right, so I'm using it anyway. Art is art, people, deal with it.

April 1, 2010 -- Proof copy approved, "True Colors" is officially published.

March 31, 2010 -- Sent the PDFs for "True Colors" in, they've been approved, I'm just waiting for the proof copy to arrive. If it's OK, all I have to do is send them an e-mail and then it goes up on Amazon. Four books down, three to go (in this series).

March 16, 2010 -- Finished the last story for Book Four today -- a little more formatting and maybe rearranging the order of the stories, and it'll be off to the publisher. I was shooting for May, but might even have it out before the end of April.

February 9, 2010 -- Yes, I'm a writer. Shameless self-promotion alert: http://lexfonteyne.webs.com is my website, and there's some stuff there about my books. I'm probably going to add some things about shoes and llamas later, maybe Pop-Tarts, too, who knows?

December 24, 2009 -- I've been studying palindromes lately. I don't know why, but some of them are interesting. May a moody baby doom a yam? Sit on a potato pan, Otis. God, a red nugget! A fat egg under a dog! Mainly I just want to find situations when I can use them in an actual conversation. It may take awhile. It's been months since I've seen a fat egg under a dog....

October 31, 2009 -- Proof copy arrived today, I've approved it, so the book will be listed on Amazon in the next few days....

October 29, 2009 -- Finally got the new book to the publisher, just waiting for the proof copy....

September 10, 2009 --

Hi. My name's Lex, I'll be your waiter. No, not really, but I've always wanted to say that.

Liking this site so far -- people are interesting here, they aren't the same cardboard cutouts I see on 1,000,000,000 other sites -- we could use a little more forum activity, I'm thinking....

I'm a writer -- two books published last year, with a third coming out shortly -- looking for someone non-mainstream. I'm divorced, no kids, I don't drink at all, I don't smoke, no drugs.

Hoping to meet someone who doesn't feel that the whole "marriage and kids" thing is the entire purpose of life; I've been on many dating sites (I'm even a forum moderator on one!) which are full of people who seem to be living lives based on inertia and social expectation rather than their own personal wants and needs.

I love the "individual" and "unique" types -- the smart ones, the creative ones, the ones who have something to say and know how (and when) to say it. The ones who don't bore me into a narcoleptic coma after three weeks.

"Mainstream" just doesn't do it for me -- be different, be yourself -- or, as I once explained it elsewhere, I'm looking for "someone who is so herself that other people can't even assimilate it. Because that's the only kind of person who is going to be able to keep me interested."

I figure maybe a site with "alternative" in its name might be a better venue to find who I'm looking for. You never know....

(By the way, if you're one of those Yahoo scammers and you e-mail me trying to get me to go talk to you somewhere else, that's not going to work. That's a red flag.)
