"I don't believe in Destiny
Or the Guiding Hand of Fate
I don't believe in Forever
Or Love as a mystical state
I don't believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance
That we can find someone to love
And make it last"

My son, "Tsunami," was born a week and a half ago. I have been staying with Marsh until they are recovered and settled. It has been nice spending time with my children, but being in that house living with the person I've been trying to move on from - even if we are more amicable now - is making me stir crazy.
I want to put myself back out there. Meet new people. Forge new connections with friends and lovers.
So in a massive synaptic misfire, I signed up for OKCupid. I don't expect anything, especially since I can't afford the premium version, but it made me feel good to assert my romantic independance. I sent out a few feelers. Got nothing back yet, and only one unsolicited intro from a profile that was so shoddily written and clearly did not read my profile that I'm almost convinced it was a social experiment (because women get those all the time, man, so how does it feel?).
I do plan on putting myself out there more once I can go back home. Looking into low-income housing so I can get out on my own, looking to change jobs, looking to find spots where nerdy introverts like me can gather but still be female-friendly (talk about Unicorn hunting...)
This space will probably not update frequently until I've met a person or persons I can move forward with, as that's what this site is about. I just wanted to save this space for that day, and so that I can update folks who might care if giant life events happen (this will probably be a Shameless Acting Plug corner when applicable).
Wish me luck as I move forward.
