I am fun loving, romantic, and patient.

My Self-Summary

I am a fun-loving, easy-going guy with a good sense of humour. People have described me as 'bubbly' and 'spiritual' in the same sentence. At the core I am a hopeless romantic looking for a kindred spirit. I love to chat with people and make new friends, and I hope that somewhere along life's road I find someone special to share the journey and make it that much more pleasant. I value the ability to communicate, to laugh and to be patient, both in myself and in others.
I play piano, organ, and flute, and I sing in the tenor and counter tenor range. I love classical and early music, as well as pop and contemporary. For recreation I love to read, participate in role playing games like dnd a.k.a. (dungeons and dragons) or MMORPGs like World of Warcraft or City of Heroes! Also like movies and TV, people watching over a cup of tea, dining out with friends or just chatting with fun people.
If you need some labels to stick on I guess I am a chub and a bear of sorts.

What I’m doing with my life

I am once again looking for work. I moved to Ottawa for a job in tech support which vanished from under me in a poof of pre-recession angst {no i am not bitter - much}. In recent times I have worked in information technology and customer service in a call centre. Previously, I was a full time student in French. In the past I have worked as a music teacher, a church organist and choir director, in web design, and programming.
I am currently attempting to learn to play ukulele. Really! I AM!
I am also taking courses in piano tuning and piano repair to be a piano tuner and piano technician.
After that I may have to take over the world for its own good of course.

Why my profile is not yet 1000 words?

On a typical Friday night I am

...at home browsing at my computer or reading while drinking tea and listening to music or talking on the phone with distant friends.
Vainly trying to think up more words for my profile.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

By definition, if I am willing to admit it here, it ain't private!

You should message me if

... you know a good tea place in Ottawa or nearby that you want to tell me about! (or any other interesting Ottawa thing really.)
... you like to play music with other people (especially piano duets).
... you find me interesting and want to chat, or find me intriguing and want to get serious!
... you know what it means to be a chaser!
... you can suggest interesting things to add to my profile to make it over 1000 words.
