I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I love the smell of seasons. Especially autumn. I have the soul of a poet, but my soul has ADD, so I never sit still long enough to write much good material. I like finding beauty in the mundane. I am thirty-two. I don't usually like when people embed songs in their myspace profiles, but I recently made an exception for reasons I have yet to understand. I listen to music as well as make it. Maybe that has something to do with it. I like reading and comic books (which is reading, but also involves looking at pictures), and tattoos and spirituality (but not religion, really), and weird stuff and technology. I like making things. And finishing things. Especially finishing things. I find myself more and more lost in the Internet and it scares me. I need some of you MySpace people to pull me out of it once in a while.
I have a website at www.bhofmeister13.blogspot.com which I think is okay, though it's in serious need of a rehaul. I used to have my own domain, but the cost didn't warrant it. Maybe one day I'll find myself with the time/energy it takes to rebuild my online identity.
I can be AIMed at bhofmeister13 as well. Or yahoo messengered, or gmail messengered. Or twittered. Or facebooked. bhofmeister13 is pretty much my catchall.
If you would like to add me, I'm generally gonna decline unless we've traded some messages or (and I'm a bit ashamed to admit this) you're very very cute, or we have some really obvious things in common. Things this won't include are: being gay, drinking, being single, living in Chicago; things it might include: liking some similar obscure music, being an artist, being a musician, etc. Sorry, though I have many, I'm really not a friend whore.

dream from this morning - numerals from a watch

All the numerals in my watch had fallen off and were just loosely sloshing around inside my watch. It made me mad. I thought I had to take it back to the store to get it repaired, which I'd just don...
