I am kind, funny, and clever.

My Self-Summary

Contradicting everything I said above, I always thought I was caring, willing to help and liked people. Life just shows how wrong that can be. I work in IT, love people of high intelligence combined with intuitivity. Adore the fact that working with logic allows me to sleep well without worrying about people. Rather than being funny, I think I just like people who make me laugh.

What I’m doing with my life

Love my work. Love my friends. Enjoy improving the great rambling house I live in. Try to keep fit. Trying to keep it all together without being to much of a dork. Discovering things that intrigue me and work on working them out.

I’m really good at

Being there for the people I care for. Working things out (eventually).

The first things people usually notice about me

Varies radically.

1. People who find me aloof. Assume that I'm arrogant and move away from me.

2. People like me instantly. Offer me random acts of kindness which leave me quite bewildered because I don't know how I deserve them.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Like reading loads and very eclecticly. Find that I like recommedations from others while having to be careful what I recommend back to them.
Fascinated by the definition or 'good' and 'evil'.
Prefer fiction over non-fiction. Like graphic novels. Contemporary literary fiction and anything that entertains me.
Movies yes. As with fiction I like things to be rounded off. Hate novels that grip you all the way through and then end up having no point at all.

The six things I could never do without

Books. Music. Friends. Family. Technology. Knowledge.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

The sheer beauty of being. The sheer despair of it. Will I measure up to other peoples expectations. Do I measure up to mine? What's on my list of things to do that I can get away with not doing.

On a typical Friday night I am

Relishing having the weekend to myself.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Having devoted all my time and emotional energy in coping with the fallout of a recent bereavement and finally feeling I worked through all this. My energy was spent on keeping it all together. I looked after our daughters and while I was very relieved that they came through this ok, now realising that it is about time I do something for myself.

You should message me if

If you can make me laugh. Interest me. Are generally a nice person and like to investigate the odd and unusual.
