Oops! I see a darkness again!
First of all, someone needs to write a song by the above title. Second, a joke whose punchline involves "Oaxacan a handsaw"—even though lately the only time my head is really clear is between 11pm and 3am, I'm not up to it at the moment. (This arrangement tends to wreak havoc on my ability to do work, especially since I have a pretty strong mental association between it being after midnight and being time to go to sleep, or at least stop working.) The difficulty lies in the fact that the phrase as written doesn't really make sense. This might be irremediable.
Finally, you know those "tag line" things various personals sites want you (don't pretend you're above it) to attach to your ad, where it will function as the "cover letter" intended to entice the "HR goon" to read the "resume" of your actual ad? Is the most that can be hoped for that they escape bottomless lameness, or does design govern in a thing so small? I'm sort of leaning to the former option.

"Irremediable"? Jesus. What a way to spell "insurmountable".

"edit me".
Originally a placeholder (as in, "Ben, you need to edit me!" but writing it now, I see it's oddly apropos.
Also, "camaraderie".

But Johnny's dead, Ben.

How about: "Moth seeks kindred spider"? Or maybe the other way around.

I'm sick.

Michael: Johnny's dead, but Will Oldham, the author of "I See A Darkness", is still alive, as are presumably the members of the committee that wrote "Oops! I Did It Again".

Clever taglines count for a lot. Hell, clever personal ads count for a lot.
Spelling is good too, but you've got that covered.
