Belated re-intro

shipsinthenight

So I've been hanging around for a while, mostly replying on other posts. I posted this intro on the intro page a while ago, but I figured putting it somewhere it would be read might be more useful. I'm also in a wedding in May for my BF who lives in FL, but the wedding is in CA. I will refference this wedding frequently

Screen Name: shipsinthenight (same sn I used on the dating website I met my SO), call me ships

Significant Other's Age:30

What You Do: sell shoes, direct children's choir, student of music and real estate

Fur Babies: (only stuffed, from SO) gwen, my christmas penguin; giggles, my custom luma (mario galaxy star helpers, very cute)

Favorite Color: pink, red, depends on the season or my mood

Favorite Thing About Your SO: Um, everything? Very long list, depends on the day, but mostly that I know he's the right one for me and I finally found him.  He's funny, sweet, a great listener, and the only BF I've ever enjoyed being surprised by.

Least Favorite Thing About Your SO: Not as into music as I am; doesn't go to church, but we share many religious beliefs, so I haven't tried to push it.

Hobbies/Activities: reading, choir, soduko, movies, finding new restaurants, excessive uses of elipses (...) in texts and posts.

Describe Your Personality: funny, smart, dorky but in a good way, slightly neurotic, caring, thoughtful, performer

Snark Level (1 [low snark] - 10 [high snark]): 3? My postings will tend to be very low snark, cus that's just mean...unless you're being really dumb. I don't tollerate stupid well. In real life, the snark is higher. Feel free to tell me if I'm being rediculous. I can take it! I'm tough!

Tell Us Something Interesting About Yourself: I can scuba dive and ski, but once never thought I could.  The scuba I owe to a great instructor who was very patient with me after I panicked.  Turns out almost drowning when I was 5 caused a much bigger fear of being completely submurged than I had previously thought.  The skiing I owe to my SO, who is the MOST patient boyfriend I have ever had. Now it's his turn to learn to scuba, and I'm looking forward to learning to sail in return.

Welcome! 

I wonder, what made you want to use a dating web site? 

*I'm not judging just curious, I ask everyone when I find out that's what they used.*

Welcome and have fun getting ready to move in and while moving in to your new place together.

And I met my SO through a website too. Actually had signed up just to try and make friends, but turned out differently.

Sparrow, I ended up on a dating website because of the quizzes it had I was on there for several years, met lots of guys, had a few boyfriends, one that I thought was THE GUY but wasn't, took a break, and finally met Mike. He's so awesome! The other great thing about dating sites is when you're busy and not already meeting the kind of guy you want you can pre-screen and look outside your normal circles. I had a few things I really needed in a guy that I wasn't finding on a normal basis. Also, Mike's sort of socially shy when he first meets people. I asked him once if we'd met at a party or something, if he'd seen me across a room somewhere, if he would have come up to me. He said probably not. So a month of e-mails before dating woked out really well for us. Couldn't be happier.

aah, I like me some Twilight, a guilty indulgence if there ever was one. I've been into vampire stuff since the Buffy days. I am even will to admit here that I will still buy books from the young adult section on a semi-regular basis.

Welcome!

What kind of skiing, snow or water? I used to water ski when I was little and FI just got into snow skiing with his boss so I will probably be learning that in the next year or so.

Favorite food?

What is the go to piece of clothing you have?
