I am a Puget Sound area native (yes, a real live one, and you don't have to pay admission to see me), living in N.Seattle (barely within the city limits, but I'm IN Seattle, damn it). Just on here to keep in touch with friends who I haven't otherwise connected with off site, and not on here much myself, just checking messages here and there. I'm NOT looking to hook up.

And WOW (not World Of Warcraft), someone who actually reads profiles and got this far down. You have already started to impress me by this point. So let's see if I can sum up what I am like in a clear, concise manner without too much babbling (or bitchiness).

(Chapter One: Yes I Know I Wrote A Book) ;-)

Most people's first impression of me is that I'm a shy, standoffish type of guy, but if you tell anyone who actually knows me that, they will likely laugh. Generally I'm just analyzing what is going on and just don't feel like being engaging, and once the ice is broken, those who get to know me find a fun, wacky, and entertaining guy. If you are familiar with Myers-Briggs, I'm an ISTP, and fit the profile of that very closely. I love to go out and do things, cinema, theater (musicals or plays), music performances, camping and hiking, finding new restaurants to try, museums, stuff like that to get me out of the house. Staying home works too, catching favorite TV shows (I have a few, pick a day of the week LOL) or DVDs/Netflix.

Know that my primary reason for being on here is making new friends and maintaining contact with established friends.

So that's my soapbox. Thanks for taking the time to start getting to know me, because I am who I am, I won't apologize for who I am, and I'm not going to change who I am. I do appreciate the compliments, and I have enjoyed making the friends I have from around the world, and look forward to making more.
