At the start of the year I decided that I'd had enough of working in an office, so I left the 9-5 job and now mostly work in a wine bar, with the odd bit of other work if and when it arrises. While I'm much happier now, it does mean that I work a lot of evenings, which has been curtailing my social life somewhat over the past several months.
I’m very liberal minded about most things, but especially relationships. I try to avoid preconceptions and pre-defined roles regarding them and often try to define what the word means to me. I am a strong believer in each person in a relationship (whatever its configuration) maintaining a sense of independence. I believe time with a partner should be an addition to your happiness, not an expectation which your happiness is reliant upon.
I identify as being polyamorous and am fortunate enough to have some wonderful people in my life right now.
I like most alternative styles and scenes and love a good rock or metal bar. I think the Steampunk movement and style is very cool, but seeing someone walk down the street dolled up in 1940-50's style makes me happy as well. Although I have to admit that I balk at investing the time and money necessary to cultivate such a wardrobe and personal style myself.
I also go to the occasional fetish club and I enjoy them very much and would like to do a lot more of this.
I have used 'I' as a pronoun far too many times in the past few sentences to be healthy for anyone.
I am a daydreaming, curious, and eclectic individual
