It's not Sisyphean if you don't do it over and over, right? Anyway, does it feel like daily life just keep going on and on? Does it feel like no one ever puts any effort into social interaction and everything comes across as superficial? Do you feel like no one cares, not even you, and you're drifting into a melange of greys? Do you get embarrassed when you realise you did something wrong despite knowing nobody will actually care or even notice (like writing the title to your post with a minor grammatical error and then cringing while you think about the people that read it, as does yours truly 😬)?

Well, no worries, because I have no idea how to solve that but maybe I can tell you it's unfortunate and distract you with a dumb rant about the importance of questioning spaghetti traditions. Or the story of how I rescued/kidnapped a stray cat recently and bombard you with pictures of him!

What am I looking for? Something to keep the existential dread at bay. Someone to share the bits of my life with, grand or small bits included. Someone to care about that cares about me. Someone to be affectionate with. Someone who resonates with me and with whom I resonate.

Why am I here? I'm here to kick ass chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of ass. *pop*

Who am I? The true nature of man is ephemeral but maybe you'll find me somewhere between the lines of these boring details:

Personality: A bit cynical/realistic. Sometimes I'll stay awake late into the night thinking about the fate of humankind, or how I said 'hi' awkwardly to the store clerk. I prefer being open, honest and I can be very blunt at times unless I know you're having a hard time. I'm civil but believe that respect is something you earn. I grow easily attached to people and become supportive and reassuring. People are complex, come and see.

Physical traits: Brown, long hair, brown eyes, trimmed beard, pale skin, medium build, short (5'7"/167 cm). No tattoos or piercings. I'm happy to share a picture ( I showed you my locks pls respond).

Fun facts: I like singing, even though I suck at it, especially songs from musicals.

Not-so-fun facts: I don't like crowds or large groups. I think the most quality time is spent one on one because then you can actually pay the person the proper attention and enjoy yourself fully in their presence. I'm from Romania which seems to be a deterrent to some? Maybe it's cause we're all vampires that suck. Hm.

Hobbies: cooking, baking, video games, writing, guitar, photography, hiking, others (ask away!).

Work: Working in software development remotely.

Humor: Almost everything. Puns, dumb stuff, dad jokes, shitposting, surreal cow memes.

Vidja Gems: I like action games(Devil May Cry, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter), survival/building games(Raft, Minecraft, Terraria), engineer-y stuff(Factorio, Satisfactory), lots of others.

If you read this far, then congrats on your attention span and I'm glad I didn't put you to sleep. Tell me, what's a core desire you have right now and why? It could be anything from a chocolate bar to world peace.
