I came here about 7-8 years ago from England, got married, then divorced. Let me tell you about it.

I was very much a loner back in England and never had any luck romantically. Then this girl from the US comes into my life and I fell too hard for her and became blinded. I know and fully understand that I should have done things differently but I didn't and I am now facing the consequences. I came to this country legally on a visitors visa and then we got married. We were supposed to file some papers to allow me to be classed as a resident of the US and allow me to work and such. However the papers were a lot more expensive than we had planned and every time we had managed to save some money for one a bill would come up and we ended up not being able to do it. Well we grew apart, partially because she wanted to date other men and partially because she couldn't deal with being younger than me, as well as other reasons I am sure but those were the biggies. We divorced and she moved to AZ. I moved in with a friend and her son and we get by as best as we can. I am officially classed as "out of status" which means I am not legally able to find work, drive etc but I am not wanted for deportation either. It gets kind of hard not really belonging anywhere, kind of in a limbo state.

Even though I have been here for as long as I have I still have my accent and it doesn't look like it is going to go away anytime soon!

Currently I am trying to survive, well who isn't! I moved here not long ago and am staying with a friend and her son, at her grandparents house. They are not doing so good, neither is my friends mom, so I do what I can to make all their lives easier. Be it cleaning the house, cooking dinner or mowing the lawn (which needs to be done this week!) If I were able to work I would and then pay for a housekeeper and full time cook, but doing it this way means I know they are being taken care of, even though I have only known them since the day I moved in. And they are a blast! I love them as though they were my own grandparents.

Not much really. Well I am good at some things but I would never say "really" good at them. I can usually fix things, I am good at my chosen profession (administration) and I am as faithful as they come.

My accent. It's pretty hard not to notice it! Just please don't say I am Australian because I am not, even if some of my relatives probably ended up there in the past!

Books... I loved the Dragonlance series but am currently reading "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell" by Susanna Clarke.

Movies... I love "The Maltese Falcon". I like comedy's, martial arts (as long as they aren't too cheesy) and romantic movies. Not to forget Period drama. I love watching some of the the British TV shows especially the crime ones.

Music... Well I have a very mixed taste from J.S. Bach to the Dresden Dolls and Enigma. Also a little Disturbed on occasion. It all depends on my mood. While writing this I am listening to the Dresden Dolls (well technically Amanda Palmer.)

Food... All food except Liver and Kidney. I will pretty much eat anything and everything else, and you wouldn't believe some of the things I have eaten!

My mind (there is a lot of things that go on in there at all times!)

My computer (with internet access!) It is my lifeline to my mind.

Books, doesn't truly matter which ones but you should never be without books!

Music. I can listen to just about anything without actual thought except for Rap... Rap makes my ears bleed.

Someone to love. After all what is life without being able to share it with someone.

Sustenance. Notice how I made that so I could have food and drink in one choice :)

My life, how I messed parts of it up and what I can do to fix it and not make the same mistakes twice.

My mom, even though she died when I was 12 she is always in my thoughts.

Wanting to not be truly alone anymore.

OK I know there is so much cheese there that we can make grilled cheese, omelets and still have enough cheese left over for the rest of the week! Hey I am cheesy what can I say!

Sitting at home wondering where my life is going and how good will it be when I get there.

I hate being alone, yet I hate being the center of attention.

You are interested in a complicated, life altering long term relationship.

Or you just want to be friends with this crazy, insane, eccentric Brit!
