Hello! I've met some incredibly lovely people here before, but not many who fit my schedule, or who want to regularly chat or play games and such. So, I'm posting again in hopes to find a friend who can fit into my life with *some* regularity. I'm certainly not looking to take over your life, and I work enough to ensure that will never even be a possibility, but it'd be nice to have someone to message a little on and off each day, and maybe hang out a few times a week.

My availability is a bit strange due to my work hours, but when things are normal I’m most available from noon to 9pm EST, so I’m hoping to find people that match that sort of availability! As far as folks in the GMT time zone are concerned, I basically work a 9-5.

About me:

• Native New Yorker that moved around a lot for work, but have now settled in Pennsylvania.
• TV newscast director, which has a bit of a stranglehold on my schedule and can sometimes lead to me not being around a ton at times.
• Amateur musician, I even have a second degree in it that I waste every day of my life. I play guitar, bass, piano, some ukulele, and a little mandolin and banjo. I write poppy acoustic singer/songwriter garbage. I’m like a middle-aged dollar-store brand Taylor Swift that plays almost exclusively in my living room to myself.
• Video game enthusiast, primarily PC/Switch. Certainly not a deal-breaker if you’re not into it, but it’d give us a whole lot to do! I *love* cooperative games and spooky games. Some recent favorites are Phasmophobia, Deep Rock Galactic, 7 Days to Die, and Terraria. Been itching to try Lethal Company, Darktide, and Sunhaven. I also even love playing different games but streaming to each other/chatting while we play.
• Love watching shows/movies/streams with people. Willing to watch pretty much anything, and maybe you can be the person to finally get me to successfully watch anime. On a horror kick lately, but up for whatever, including re-watching The Office for the 28th time.
• For those that care about it, I’m an INFP and a Cancer, and embody both pretty thoroughly. I’m also a Slytherin! I’m even a twin, so there’s basically two of me.

About you:

• 25 . The older the better so we can reminisce less about our dope time in college and more about drowning in debt while crying salty tears into our unpaid utility bills and scraping out the last bits of an off-brand ice cream straight from the carton that we indulged in only because it happened to be on sale that week and we had a coupon.
• Share some similar interests. Pretty much the nerdier you are, the better.
• Understands that I do the best I can with my free time, but sometimes I’ll be too busy with work, or tired to hang out. This one is important since I've lost a number of important people due to my availability sometimes being a bit in flux.

Feel free to reach out! DM, chat, signal fire, carrier pigeon. Whatever you're feeling. We can switch over to discord pretty quick since reddit is a terrible medium for long-term chatting.
