I'm not much into self analysis -- I'd much rather escape into a book. That said, the basics are that I'm always in the middle of two or three books, usually fiction. I have three jobs (day job; part time job to support the reading habit; and freelance writing work that I fantasize will someday be paidlance full time). In between working and reading, I enjoy ice skating, working out, walking, playing with my cats. While I'm not the most domestically inclined, I can be a good cook if I have enough warning (though generally, it's TV dinners and microwave soups) and I'm teaching myself to crochet. Yeah, kind of boring. I can make my friends laugh but I'm fairly shy with strangers. I like hanging out with my friends, but if I don't get a certain percentage of alone time in my week, I tend to get a little grumpy.

Oh that was good. I'm boring and grumpy. Well, if you're not put off by that, then I admire your bravery.

I don't know. Terrible answer, but if I knew what I was looking for, then I'd make a plan and find. I know more about what I don't want than I know about what I do. I don't want the sort of relationship where you are with the other person because you want to be in a relationship. I'm happy by myself, and I'd like to find someone who is happy by himself too, but might be interested in maybe just hanging out and sharing the things we enjoy. And if that goes somewhere romantic, then that would be bonus. If it ends up as best friends, that's good too.
