Don’t let the title scare you! There’s no pressure to make it work long-term. But wouldn’t it be cool if it did?

Anyway, hello. How’s it going?

I've been having a bit of a rough time of it lately - don't worry, I'm not looking to trauma dump on you! But it has pushed me to try and make a new friend or two, ideally to have someone new to consistently talk to.

I generally have decent success finding friends on here so I'm hoping that luck streak continues with this post. I tend to prefer to talk instant message style using chat or discord but I'm also open to being weekly long-form message penpal type friends as long as you promise to put an effort in your responses!

I know most people don't want to read a giant post so I will briefly describe myself in my following paragraph, and if you prefer to learn a little more, I will refer you to this slightly outdated post with more details - or, of course, through conversation.

I love getting to know new people. I like to think I can hold my own in conversations about any topic, but my main interests include the usual: I watch a ton of sports, too many TV shows, and not enough movies (I've been terrible about keeping up). My taste in music got stuck in the 2000s and has shockingly gotten a little stale 20 years later so I've been looking for new music to get excited about. I also write short stories sometimes as a hobby. I think I'm pretty funny and love having banter, but I also really enjoy serious conversations about serious topics too.

If you're interested in maybe being friends, please shoot me a chat or a message. My favorite ice breaker is asking about top 5 favorite movies so if you're unsure what to say, shoot me your list and we can go from there!
