TL;DR: I'm weird. Be my friend, please 🥺.

Hey there. I'm 38/F, very soon to be 39 😬😖. Hoping to find some people to chat with, that are preferably around my age. But, am open to chatting with whomever. I've gotten overly comfortable with living a hermit's life, methinks.....trying to shed my shell. Heh, crab humor 🤓. I have anxiety, so it helps if you're kinda patient. And sometimes I have sad, quiet moments. And, sometimes I have days where I say I'm ok, but I'm not doing ok. I'm also not that great at starting up convos. Not initially, anyways. But, eventually I'll come around, if you're willing to put in some effort and stick it out....and if I get really comfortable with you, then you'll probably wish I was back in shy mode haha. Oh yeah, I can be a handful, you've been warned. On the flip side, please don't expect me to carry the entire convo. I know that seems unfair of me to ask, since it can take some effort to get me to converse. As I can be shy, and can clam up real fast when I start getting nervous. Peopling is not my specialty 😕.

If you're into socially awkward banter from a nerd, and sometimes incessant rambling once I do open up, then I may just be your cup of tea. Sometimes I can be blurty, and a little too....shall we say, TMI? Translation: If you're looking for someone to make things real awkward real fast, then I'm your gal. Hopefully you're ok with somebody who's gonna tell you exactly how she's feeling, and whatever pops up in her brain ha. My filter be broken, like the rest of me...I also have a playful, goofball personality, so once in awhile I might make you laugh when I say some off the wall shit. Or perhaps you like sass and smart assery? I gots that too.

I had an 80s/90s childhood, which means I don't have a stick up my ass. Which also means I'm looking for fun, open minded people who like to have a good laugh, and aren't easily offended by everything; I'm not overly PC, and I can be sweary at times.

Things I like: animals, I have many pets. I will probably gush about them at some point. Love music, it's a great way to connect with someone. My taste in music is eclectic, and I'd love to exchange some with you, if you're down. I dig horror and fantasy. I'm a gamer; video, board games, it's all good. Nature, being outdoors and visiting scenic locales. At the same time, I don't mind just chillin' and lazing about at home. I enjoy going to festivals, though haven't been to many since covid. I used to enjoy reading, though I haven't read anything in awhile. I've been trying to get back into it, but haven't had much luck. I probably should stop buying books.....I enjoy watching movies/shows, and will binge things when I find something I like. But, I also have moments where I enjoy the silence, and want nothing to do with television. I've also enjoyed some anime in the past, but all my faves are old.

Things I'm not interested/involved in: politics and religion. I don't care what your stance on those two topics are. I like to keep an open mind, so if you're a political or religious person, it's cool. I won't judge, but I also won't engage on these topics. I don't drink or partake in any mind altering substances. Except for sleep deprivation, in which case, I may as well 420 it up 🤪 (I apologize profusely in advance if you happen to catch me in that state). I don't mind if you do. I just prefer not all convos revolve around, "bruuuuhhhh....I'm like, soooo high right now huahuahua....". I also have zero tolerance for liars, and those that like to manipulate.

I don't have kids, except for my furry little ones. And I'm not married, if any of that matters to you. I get that sometimes it's hard to relate to, and find others in a similar life stage at this age.

I'd prefer to make meaningful connections with people who plan on sticking around. If we're not vibing in the first few convos, it's cool. No harm, no foul. But, if you keep telling me pretty frequently how fantastic you think I am, how important I am to you, and that we're gonna be BFF's forever, and then months down the road you just one day decide to up and turn into Casper 👻, do us both a favor and miss me with that shit, thanks. I do get that real life happens, and your personal life comes first. But, I'm looking for somebody who's not just feeling lonely in the moment now, and then is gonna completely drop me down the road just because things start to go swell for you. Mhmm... believe it or not I am a person with feelings behind this wall of text, go figure.

Five completely random facts about me:

1. I used to have pet hermit crabs.
2. I have a TNR "hobby".
3. As a kid, I took karate, and was trained in nunchaku.
4. I collected X-Men trading cards during the 90s craze.
5. I once started a mini kitchen fire warming up a Campbell's can of chicken noodle soup. True story.

If my novella didn't scare you off, drop me a line 🙃. Maybe tell me five random things about yourself? I'm nice. Most of the time haha. I prefer chat. I might not always be able to respond right away, but I'll do my very best to get back to you in a timely manner.
