It's always nice having that closeness, but with many people lately it's been so fleeting. I'd love to find someone I vibe with to hang with long term and regularly!

About me:

• Native New Yorker that moved around a lot for work, but have now settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
• I work as a television 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 bearded Taylor Swift that plays almost exclusively in my living room to myself.
• Video game enthusiast, primarily PC/Switch but own a PS4. I *love* cooperative games, cozy games, and spooky games. Some recent favorites are Phasmophobia, Deep Rock Galactic, 7 Days to Die, Fallout 76, Terraria, Core Keeper, and Stardew Valley. Also a lover of board/card games (and digital board/card games) - so I'm happy to teach some of those, too! I also adore doing cooperative GeoGuessr and digital jigsaw puzzles.
• 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 30th time. Even trashy reality TV is on the table.
• 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:

• 28 . 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 or something else pretty quick since reddit is a terrible medium for long-term chatting. Please tell me a bit about yourself and your interests in your message!
