Hi friend! My name is Meloy P. York. What's yours?

About Me

I am so glad that you have stopped by to read my profile. Please, make yourself comfortable, get yourself a drink--tea perhaps or a mixed alcoholic beverage? But, if I may be so bold, I can allow no smoking. It is an abominable habit. Besides, I could never forgive myself if little Olivia was overcome by a noxious fume. I've never had such a delightful parakeet before. You should hear her light up when Mother drops in. No man-made instrument can match the divine resonance of one of god's feathered creations.Oh, please forgive me. This introduction is supposed to be "about me" is it not? There will be plenty of time to talk about Olivia and Mother later. If you are lucky, you will get to meet them both someday.Where do I begin? It is difficult, for I am but a simple man attempting to please his dear mother. Bless her soul, but she naively thinks that my health would improve if I "participated" in activities of a social nature. Can you imagine, a 98 year young sweet elderly woman encouraging her 50 year old son to listen to hippity hop and visit the disco on Saturday nights? How can I say no to her? The fact is I can't, ha!Well, I'll do my best to describe myself to you. As you know by now, I am a 50 years young. I stand 170 centimeters tall and am shrinking by the day! I have lost much of my hair over the years, but you'd do well to notice as I have been rather purposeful with the few strands still in my possession. My complexion is truly white as a result of a life spent dodging the malignant rays of the sun. I am not terribly obese, though I am rather soft. I do believe that this body type is ideal as I am unrestrained by bulky muscle tissue and taught sinue. When I walk, I appear to glide like an otherwordly spirit. Ofcourse, my pure white skin compounds the effect. Oh goodness! I suppose I could write all day about my life, but I've not allowed you to place a word in edge wise! Where are my manners! Please....

My Interests

buttons!

I'd like to meet:

Mother would like me to meet a gentlelady with whom I can share quality time. I have told her repeatedly that I have so little time for any extracurricular activities, as I am entireluy dedicated to my work at the button registry. And when I am at home, Olivia requires constant care and attention. If I did meet a kind woman, I would hope that she could appreciate the responsibility inherent in catalouging such a delicate and elegant item as the button, and would understand why I spent so much of my day at the warehouse. Did you know that buttons have been made out of a wide variety of mammalian bone-even human!? Of course, white rhinosoraus ivory remains the most coveted material for button makers.
