42 [M4F] PNW Its a great night to meet some new friends

Hello, How are you doing tonight? I hope your evening is as great as mine.

I am enjoying a late sunset with my dog Dizzy the toothless wonder. No really he is missing like six teeth and is incredibly photogenic.

I have been writing a story for most of the day and I am tired of living in my head. Its a great place but I always know the answers.

I am looking for someone to chat about everything and nothing. Do you have hobbies? I would love to hear you talk about them. Job? Same thing especially if you have some good tea.

About me I am really laid back like I inspired 90's rap songs about laying back in the cut. Please get that reference. I am a nurse just not that kind of nurse. I drive a Subaru. I am not sure how that fits, but it seems important.

Some of the things that keep my attention is furniture making, writing, I love music and will happily trade songs with you. I started getting into making ice cream with a Ninja Creami. Ask me about my first batch I dare you.

I hope thats enough if not let me know. Here is a song that I adore.

How do you describe your novel?

I completed my novel recently and I'm editing it. Even though I have had almost daily contact with it for the last 14 months I still struggle to describe it.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Excerpt from Explore! Explore! Then Die?

How does this section feel as you read it? Is what is being said clear?

Each home I pass tells two stories. One we are meant to see, and the other is the lie behind that story.  We see no people, and yet due to the closeness of the houses, I feel the shadows falling down on me. There is nowhere to escape just like the bazaar.  

While the open market is wild, uncouth, and veiled, it is at least honest about its dangers and promises you nothing else. Whereas the residential area is quiet, open, sincere, and clean, but these outwardly happy homes are a farce. This place holds its greatest lies behind closed doors.

Walking carelessly on the road, I hear the snap of some small nothing under my foot, and then a voice from a lifetime ago screams in rage, "Go to bed!"

Steps faltering, I look around in search of the woman who sold me as a child, but as always Mother isn't there anymore.

A few steps further, and my right-hand begins to tremble, hopefully unnoticed, I ask Isla, "We had a good day, right?"

She replies in a soft voice, "We had an amazing day."

Inhale, heartbeat, "Your son is so well behaved, he is the brightest student we have in the entire school." Exhale

Inhale, heartbeat, I ask Isla, "D-did you see everything we ate? I thought Felix would explode."

"Let go of me, you're too old for that. It's disgusting." Exhale

"I didn't believe it, but each course was better than the last."

Inhale, heartbeat, Mother shrieks, "You think you are smarter than me? You think you can stay in this house and be disrespectful?" Exhale

"Isla I was good right? I did some bad, but it's ok, right?"

"Sweetie, what's"

Inhale, heartbeat, "If you are so fucking smart, your dad would still be here." Exhale.

"The matter?"

Unsure of when it is, I can only reply with, "Hmm."

Paper mache banana/unicorn... Help

I was recently tasked with making 14 banana/unicorn horns for a girl scout troop. I think 6-8 inches will be tall enough. I am thinking of using headbands to secure the horn to their heads.

Can anyone offer any tips? I've no experience with this kind of art and craft

Attempting to update software

I have a 2022 Subaru Outback XT that I am trying to upgrade the software. I have spent about 2 hours staring at the message checking for a software update... Please wait.

​

It is connected to my phone's hotspot.

I am upgrading 2 updates.

Can anyone give me a rough estimate on time

My Perfume Story

In December 2022 I hated the 2 designer perfumes I owned and that's why I hardly wore them in the 10 years they were mine.

​

I knew I wanted something better but I had no idea what, nor was unable to sample it as I live eight hours from somewhere I could experience them.

​

I looked online and stopped at Prada Amber Pour Homme. I liked the color. What could I say?

​

I will say I enjoyed it, but I was curious now so I bought the large ELDO sampler and I had a blast. I bought Frustrated and learned about niche fragrances.

​

People kept saying to sample first, sample first but I didn't and I ended up with a large collection that I only used about half. So I traded, sold or gave away many full bottles.

​

I learned a lot over the years. Now I buy samples then 5ml's or the rare 10ml. Currently between bottles, 5ml, 10ml, and samples I have over 200 scents.

​

For me it's not about the pretty bottles anymore, instead it's the scent. I don't care about finding the ultimate scent, I only want to experience unique fragrances. I know that I am hardly unique in this aspect but it keeps me fascinated.

Where are you at in your fragrance journey?

42 [M4F] Northen California: Looking for friends with the possibility of more

Hi!

I am a nurse, just not that kind of nurse, I like what I do, but I am all by myself for most of the day. It would be wonderful if I could find somebody to chat with.

Please tell me something about yourself and not the usuall hobbies.

I once tried to start a death metal band but I hurt my vocal cords and now my my high pitched scream is lacking.

I love to write. I have my main project and two others that are in the wings. I am working on the saddest short story I have ever written. The sun hides behind clouds when it is being worked on.

I am a creative cook but I can barely bake. It's like the gods are mocking me for spoiling my dog.

Dizzy is spoiled rotten and deserves all of it. Do you have pets? Do you have a dream exotic pet? (Weirdo) kidding.

What is your dream travel destination? I just got back from visiting Berkley CA. It was a totally amazing trip.

Do you love music and want to share songs, I do!

I am thinking about getting a small tattoo on my right forearm.

Here is a song I am currently digging. Throne of Want

Learned not to fly with full bottles of juice

A few years ago, early into my fragrance journey, I brought a few bottles with me to Germany. Everything went well on the way there, but on the return, I placed my bottle of By Kilian Memento Mori in my leather shoe and thought that would be enough. As soon as I opened my suitcase, I could smell those deep notes and knew I had made a mistake. Luckily, I had the Dr. Scholl's arch support, and it soaked up the perfume, and the shoes were still wearable. Lessons learned.

42 [M4F] NorCal Looking for friends and the right mortal enemy

Hello!

Like the title says I am looking for friends to chat with daily. I am hoping you will be thoughtful, emotionally stable, fun to hangout with and must love dogs. (other pets are fine too).

I have a great sense of humor, I love music, building furniture, perfumes (ask me to explain!) I am a writer of short stories, poems and a novel. I am pretty chill normally. I never know how much to write in these things so here is a song I am digging.

42 [M4F] Looking for friends or a mortal enemy. We can bake together.

How are you doing? If you made it this far you have passed the test. Congratulations

I am an occupational health nurse and I enjoy what I do. I genuinely enjoy helping people so when I can, I do.

Humor is important to me and I hope it is for you too. I think laughing prevents a cold. My dog Dizzy is the superior mutt. I will happilly share photos of him. (That was bribery)

I am a creative type, and I hope you are too, just because I really enjoy nerding out about projects.

Negatives: I can't bake, I have no sense of direction like I need Google Maps to get around town, my handwriting is atrocious. I do not watch sports, I am a writer. (I am sorry ahead of time).

I hope to hear from you, if not I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
