I'm feeling particularly lucky today. I know this ad will find the girl I'm looking for.

*Puts this message in a bottle, and throws it into the ocean.*

I'm a tall bulky pirate. With a heart of silver and intentions that are worth more than gold.

(I've got Multiple Sclerosis which causes my left leg to not always work properly, and my left eye is legally blind. But at least that means I always start off on the right foot.)

The girl I'm looking for will be between the ages of 18 and 40, and value honesty, communication, commitment, loyalty, passion, understanding and acceptance.

(We've all got baggage, or flaws, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't all be able to find what we're looking for.)

I spend a lot of time writing, playing video games, tabletop games, and watch anime or comedies.

I listen to a LOT of music, but my favorite kind is the high energy mixed with a bit of melancholy.

I have a lot of free time but I also have a schedule and obligations to friends, and doctors.

(Seriously one of these days I MIGHT end up with a peg-leg if they have their way.)

Politically? I'm apoltical. I see valid arguments on both sides, but as a whole neither side really has the best interest of the people at heart.

(Besides, right wing? left wing? Like my old neighbor used to say, they're part of the same bird.)

I have much more to talk about, but I'd like to hear from the mermaid who finds this message in a bottle, I'd like to know what she wants out of a relationship, and what she can offer.

Also I'll save you some time, I'm not going to be able to offer riches, fame, or power. But I can offer a reprieve to this life that has become so dark and shallow. I'm the type of person that does not believe in getting validation from the world that requires verification for EVERYTHING.

(That being said I'm more than happy to verify myself with pictures, chats, voice calls. After all, the mermaid I'm looking for deserves to be treated special.)
