Fine, I've been here two years now, so I might as well put something in here. 
I have JUST turned 41, but (i'm told) I look much younger. I've spent most of the last 40 years as a loner and a recluse...AND I AM NOW GETTING SICK OF IT! So,...this is my attempt at starting at "reaching out and touching some one" or someones something if I'm lucky. I'm a real dycotomy ( yes I know it's spelled wrong but for the life of me I can't find it in my dictionary right now).
I have a great sense of humor but can get pretty negative about things and get moody very easily. It's probably called "being gay" but I hate when I get into a funk like that. I LIKE my sense of humor, but it can get too morbid for some peoples taste. I live, and look at the world a little off center. I've appeared slightly ( o.k. maybe not so slightly) nerdy to those around me my entire life.
I'd like to have more friends, but I also really like being alone (or so I tell myself). I was a wallflower growing up, keeping to myself and never really socializing. (and yet I have a bachelors degree in Social Services--go figure!). So now as an adult I have NO SOCIAL SKILLS WHATSOEVER! This makes it difficult for me to know the ins and outs (great movie by the way) of making friends.
I love to talk to people and share my views of the world around me, but I am also very shy. I always feel like a third wheel in groups of people and and have terrible stage fright. Two or three people is o.k. when I'm talking; but ask me to get up in front of a group and I become a blithering idiot. (of course, some people think I already am)
I defend myself when people say negative things about me (being gay, or whatever) but I really am so negative about myself sometimes, it's not funny.
Despite how the above sounds, I think I am really a cool guy to get to know (well, in theory anyway). And even though I don't drink or smoke (one of my reasons for not hanging out at the bars) I am far from boring!
Well, thats it for now, I've probobly said too much anyway. If the above hasn't sent you running away screaming feel free to PM me now and then if you like something I've posted either here or on the forum. Next time, I'll probably talk about my obsession with Toronto, and wanting to somehow, someday, move there. But for now I have to get up in six hours (WHAT THE FUCK AM I STILL DOING UP!) for work. Goodnite!
