hmm, where to start?
well im coming to the realisation that although im not shy in any way at all (infact im pretty relaxed and friendly) im getting pretty lonely
I have friends, both male and female, but ive never really had a serious relationship
a disasterous and protracted unrequieted love thing with a very close female friend in my late teens, and again with the same girl a few years later, but no proper adult relationships
not entirely unexperienced sexually, but its never been a big part of my life (not through lack of wanting, i dont think)
i had a long-running online friendship with a girl from the other side of the world for 6 or 7 years, and although i wouldnt change that in any way, i dont think its done my "real life" much good in some ways - she was my confidante and a very important part of things for a long time, but if id had nobody like her, i would probably have been forced to confront my real life loneliness a lot sooner
anyway enough about the why im here an a small bit about me
things i like:
im a serious music nut, and play bass to a very high level, both electric and upright, and also an odd little rubber stringed bass instrument called the Ashbory
got a big thing about modern Japanese Culture - music, cinema, anime, the works
an obscure (to most of you) Australian soap opera from the late '70s called "Prisoner: Cell Block H"
I have a small business fixing PCs, although because i live in a small highland town, i dont get enough business to make very much money
as a result of that im stuck in the parent's home. not great at my age (34) eh?
with the massive house prices in the UK tho its my only realistic option
i have absolutely no problem with shyness at all - i meet different people all the time when im working and usually find they like me and even tend to almost tell me their life story sort of thing - if they arent intimidated by the way i look....
..... that may well be a big part of the problem. I'm not going to change the way i look for anyone, im comfortable with it
i have long natural dreadlocks, well past bum-length infact, long (but tidy) beard, facial piercings, prominent tattoos
its the way i am and thats not going to change
you may think that im short of money because i dont have and couldnt get a "proper" job, but actually i have significant health problems that pretty much rule out a conventional 9-5 employment situation anyway.
one big thing is i dont drink alcohol, and as a result just dont go to bars for the sake of drinking, ill only go on the rare occasion im playing music in one, or im going to see another band play
socially all i really do is hang out with my friends. trouble is nowadays they have all paired off and are having children, that sort of thing, so im never meeting anyone single and female
jeez thats a bit of a long ramble, but i hope it gives you a bit of an idea of who i am
hope to get to know some of you
cheers
