I have a veneer of mainstream, of "normality" but scratch the surface and unleash what's inside and your in for a surprise. I have a playful & loving personality.

New info - apparently I am an existentialist. Bizarrely it took someone else noticing that and tell me for me to realise that facet of my own existence ;)

I am also known as SvenOf9 on DeviantArt and various other places.

I am reserved in public, fun in private, and not what you expect, and yes rather unconventional in relationships, so if traditional monogamy is what you're after, *rasssp*, jog on. (Can you tell I have been watching Hot Fuzz?)

I am particularly enjoying writing my fortnightly input in to a computing magazine, and just trying to find spare time to do more, along with actually managing to do some drawing at some point, and more photography.

Currently looking around to find a new career as 20 years in retail really is my fill, thank you very much. I need to go get a proper grown up normal 9-5 job and see if i can get my weekends back for the first time in my working life.

Or not as it seems this career suddenly started moving again :)

Looking after people.

On the spot decisions, trouble shooting, that kinda thing. Having plans in my head for almost every eventuality, and ability to make one for the ones that I have none for already.

Controlling myself (too good at that it is alleged ;) ) which i really need to stop doing and allow more passion out rather than being so damn reserved about everything. I tend to bottle my feelings up far too much - which is really not healthy.

Not getting my profile upto 1000 words to satify the completion meter at the top of this page everytime I look it myself :S

I am the quiet one at the back making sure everyone is ok. You make eye contact and realise I have deep brown eyes that you will lose your free will to if you aren't careful.

Don't be careful.

Aww now that would remove far too many things to talk about.

However to fulfill Staff Robots field flags: Smallville, Amiga, Blu-ray, Retro Gaming, Star Trek and Transformers. You see Transformers there - that means G1, proper stuff not those abominations that got made recently for cinematic release.

Oh in case you missed it above i did enjoy Hot Fuzz immensely too :D

Technology (c'est un geek), the written word (I find it far easier to use emails and text than the phone... but I much prefer face to face contact), communication capabilities (I need to know whats going on), female company (prefer it to male company), human touch (I believe the term is "cuddleslut";)), friends (not the Tv show, though I don't mind it).

Hmmm - thought tends to be skewed towards tring to work out where I go from here career wise. The original plan was to be running my own business by now but a lot of stuff has simply got int he way and prevented that possibility.

at home getting to bed at a reasonable time because I will be at work at 8am the following day!

Hmmmm I am not sure revealing anything here would be a partiularly good idea... read between the lines and see if you want to ask anything ;)

I am Poly. This is not a secret and is a mutually beneficial arrangement with my primary partner.

You want a friend who could be more.
