Some things I like: when streets are closed to traffic,
living within the sound of a church clock, singing to myself, giant
squid, cryptids, babies dressed as bears, using words in slightly
the wrong way, putting things in
square brackets.
Lots of people complain about writing self-summaries, and I can see their point. I like to approach it as a challenge in writing and self-presentation. Looking at my journal is probably a better introduction to me, though.
I may be an extrovert trapped in an introvert's body. In that I am generally more energised by spending time with other people than myself, but I also suffer from terrible self-consciousness, manifesting as shyness, in many circumstances. As a result, I'm not very sociable even though I like people.
When I was little I wanted to be a paleontologist, but after that I'm not sure. I would like to be a futurologist or run a cryptozoo (as long as I didn't have to look after the animals myself). Probably my ideal job would be one where mostly the things I do are not the main thing I'm supposed to do.
As it is, I work for a legal expenses insurance company. Insurance is not a career anyone ever chooses to go into, but in the absence of firmer plans it'll do for now. Other than that, I seem to spend hours every day making food (and cleaning up afterwards). Also wasting time on the internet, reading, and sometimes playing board or card games. I attempt to grow some plants to eat, but I find gardening more like a counter-insurgency campaign than the relaxing pursuit people claim it is.
Whether or not you want to talk to me, you might want to talk to happycycling, who is hunting new friends (particularly in/around bristol) like a tiger. We kind of got married last year, with a registrar and people and flowers and everything. Not that we feel its very important to have our relationship sanctioned by state or society in that way, but when a marriage leads to a visa which leads to staying together in the same country, that is important.
