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.
