Before I make my call to arms out that I am now officially single, independent, and looking for companionship, I must first digress into a bit of a preamble.
You see, I'm a writer, and enjoy communicating with written words. The problem is that, due to my slightly overactive mind, it takes a bit for me to focus. When I write a letter, I usually start with a quick header of sorts just to get the words flying correctly from my fingertips. It's always a bit rough, so I ask to please bear with me as I stretch out my linguistic abilities once again to be able to correctly communicate with you all.
Another reason for these first few sentences is that on the internet, there is a slight electronic "buzz" that dehumanizes speech a little. This sort of exacerbates comments towards the negative. To counteract this, I write with a more colorful vernacular than I used to. After a while the words start to flow right and I'm able to write what appears in my head.
I wish to announce that I am indeed, single, independent, and looking for companionship.
Well, there's more to this than just that. Here I am at the tender age of 29, living really on my own for the first time. My other attempts at self-support have always met with living with roommates, an ex-fiance, and my parents. My place is now a wholly owned subsidiary of me. I find this new found freedom both exhilarating and quite daunting.
Truthfully, I'm also practically climbing the walls out of boredom.
For the last three years my social life really hasn't been much but a handful of work acquaintances. I'm not really one who steps outside very often. Not because of some horrible disdain for that thing that people call the "Sky". I just get very nervous in crowded areas and tend to avoid them. Think of it as a kind of agoraphobia. I don't have panic attacks, but I'm very uncomfortable in social situations. The more people in a smaller aria, the more uncomfortable I get. Things like bars and clubs are a bit high on my "avoid" list.
The problem remains though, and so I figure this might be a keen way to at least introduce myself and at most meet someone. I didn't want to write a canned personal such as "I'm intelligent, funny,..." etc, etc. I would much rather have the words speak for themselves.
I mentioned that I am 29, and am pretty much your 21st century renaissance man. My trade I originally went to school for was Aviation electronics. After Sept 11th that career path was suddenly closed to me. My second discipline was computer science, but sadly, I'm innumerate and have never really learned how to type correctly. This was odd as I was a programmer for a stint. The dot-com bust took care of that career path too.
As a trinary discipline, I also have been speaking Japanese for the last 15 years. However, as I live in the midwest, the asian population around these parts are less than 1/2 of 1%. I don't use that very much just on sheer geographical merits alone.
I now work in a hydraulics place, helping out customers with fittings and making hose assemblies. It's kinda neat work. I enjoy it.
I am currently looking for companionship, but don't know really how to start. It's rather funny that I can wrap my mind around intellectual property law as a hobby, but can be such a total knob when it comes to people.
I'm simply looking for a girl, someone my age. I find it a drag that due to my "late blooming" for independence, most of my peers are married, have children, or both. I would like to start a family one day, with my own children. I am, however, not closed off to the idea of kids along with the package. I don't want to rattle off a checklist of "Smart, Funny, Attractive" such as I avoided doing that with my self. I just want to say I'm looking for someone who can complement me and my interests. I don't wish for an absolute perfect match, but I hope to be as much to her as her to me.
That's pretty much it. PM me if you wish to chat. I'll be around...
Oh, and here's a quick picture as I don't have enough posts for an avatar yet. If the picture is unpostable, just imagine a bald, blue eyed guy with a goatee and a boyish face. That's me ^_^
