I feel silly writing this. I can't imagine anyone here coming across my little profile, and even if they did perusing around to read this. But in the off chance I'm wrong, I figure: why not?
SG is known for beautiful models, of course. While I certainly enjoy looking at/seeing pretty gals, I didn't come here to ogle. I came here to maybe "meet" some new people.
I'm incredibly lonely. My wife left me while I was in Afghanistan last year, and I live alone now (well, with the exception of my wonderful cats). I live in a small military town that's full of soldiers; you can't go anywhere without them surrounding you. It's like I can never get away from work. And with so many douchebag soldiers running around making a bad name for my profession, it's not exactly easy to go out and meet people without being just another soldier. Besides, in a military town like this you can easily accept that all the "good ones" are taken. There also aren't places to really go and socialize, so making friends is virtually impossible. The closest friend you could say I have here is the owner of a local comic book shop I frequent. We chat it up when I come in, but that's about it.
My days consist of work, then going home alone to no one, and then doing it all over again. When the weekends come, I might get out to see a movie alone, but that's not often really either. The most social place you could say I go is the gym, but I'm not there to chit chat with people, and neither is anyone else. Besides, most of the people there are soldiers or their wives. And this is a gym that's not on post.
This kind of explains why I don't have any real pictures of me. I don't have friends taking any of me for me to post. And I just don't like taking pictures of myself. It seems sort of narcissistic, and only serves to remind me that the only way I can get a picture taken of me is to take one of myself. Not exactly a day brightener.
I'm not trying to be a downer. I'm just framing my desire to meet people in some context. I'm super lonely, and I thought that SG would attract people I could relate to.
I'm still new here, so I hope that with time I can get to know some people on here, maybe even go to a meetup sometime.
I hadn't planned this entry out, so I don't really know how to end it. Just gonna have to be awkward and do it all sudden-like.
