Hello, my name is Harvest and I recently re-located to Eau Claire. One thing I have realized as I have gotten older is that it is very hard to meet people with mutual interests. That is to say that a lot of my beliefs and ideas reach far ends of the spectrum at once while not covering much of the middle. I am quite liberal, yet also quite conservative. For instance, I believe in god, yet I support things like gay marraige. However I also believe that the word God should be taken off of our money. I dig midwestern family values, yet most would describe me personally as a loner. A drifter even. My favorite shows as an adolescent were all scripted dramas from the 1960's, but in film my favorite writer director is Todd Solondz. I can regularly come within 3 or 4 answers of finishing the big sunday crossword, but I never graduated from college.
So, to reinforce my point,(and maybe some of you can sympathize with this) my ideas and beliefs cover a lot of ground, being rather isolated at both ends of the spectrum, while missing a wide swath of the middle which could lend me more broad appeal. Suffice to say, it has been difficult finding people that I match up well with.

Basically I've been moving around a lot for the past 10 years or so. I love being in new places and having the opportunity to learn about people in different regions and all the things which make them special and unique.

Crossword puzzles, trivia, finding my way around.

Why there are so many used copies of Tracy Bonham's new album "Blink the Brightest" at Last Vestege when it only came out last May and it's sooooo good? It's the album she was always ment to make(that was in 2006). Moving. People.
Being in my early thirties and where I am in life right now. I feel at times that I am getting too old for a lot of the things the bulk of singles like to do. Take Meetup for example, most of the meetups for single people involve beach volleyball and pub crawls. I have nothing against it as an activity if people want to do that, it just really isn't me. I don't listen to a lot of new music and I never liked clubs/concerts that much anyway. Plus I work a lot and, ya' know, I gotta get up early, man.

Asleep, At Work, Walking Downtown, at any of the latest late shows. Searching for Laura Wingfield.

Whenever I get the chance I watch "Let's Make a Deal" with Wayne Brady because something about his voice and mannerisms make me feel a strange sensation of peace and wellbeing. I don't know why.

You are willing to, "...take a chance, on an unknown kid" - Travis Birkenstock, "Clueless"-1995.
Seriously, if you want to meet someone new who has a honest desire for the fresh experience of learning about, and hopefully from a new person, just let me know and we can give it a shot.
