Just looking for some more friends to support and be supported by and I would love to meet some people I can relate to. So anyone LGBT, Pagan, or loves things like video gaming, roleplaying and art/music? Books? Loose-leaf tea? Geeky folks?
LGBT - straight and married, but am a Gestational Surrogate for a fantastic gay couple and am currently carrying their second child - I carried their first too - does this count? lol
Pagan - No, atheist all the way - though I like some of the thought processes of Pagan beliefs.
Video Games - My husband and 2 boys LOVE gaming, though I prefer Tower Defense Games
Roleplaying - We get dressed up our local Comic Con....though my belly is too big this year to attend
Art/Music - Unfortunately I am not gifted in any of the arts.
Books - YES PLEASE!!! Currently reading (and highlighting for my husband so he can go through all the key points later) Richard Dawkins The God Delusion. But usually prefer historical fantastic and some Sci-Fi
Loose Leaf Tea - I haven't acquired a taste for tea, but my husband is IN LOVE with all things tea.
Geeky - I wouldn't classify myself as such, I'm more of the type that can usually fit into most groups - though I stay far away from woe is me; the world revolves around only me; I don't have opinions of my own; my religion is the ONLY religion; you MUST believe what I believe; I hate EVERYONE who doesn't hate what I hate,......oh wait, I've just cut myself off from most of the people from the planet.....oh well, the ones that are left are fantastic!!!!!!!0 -
Some people may want to talk about their decreased/increased mass and Battlestar Galactica. At the same time. With the same people.
There are many converstions and groups you can join if this one doesn't interest you. You could join the brewer's group and complain it is too hop-centric. Or maybe even start an ice skating group on here, and make many posts about how you don't ice skate, because people who talk about things you aren't interested in (or perhaps have conversations that don't involve you) make you sick.0 -
All of the above!! Hello

I am literally the complete opposite of every single one of those things... we'd either hate each other or be a perfect yin and yang. :laugh:0

Hai! ^_^ I was actually hoping to find a few more friends with common interests as well so this is perfect! I'm bi and I spend a lot of my time gaming, reading and watching anime and stuff so I suppose that is geeky? ^^ I used to role play a lot online and once I'm at goal weight I plan on doing a lot of cosplaying too. I play the flute and sax (well haven't for a while though..) and i love to draw. I read up on a lot of info on pagan and wiccan beliefs and did some solo practicing but it kinda died out since my sources for info were very limited =/
hmm what else did you mention? I like tea but I'll be honest I usually just buy it pre-made :laugh: and I think that's it
anyone can add me if they want :flowerforyou: 0 -
what about people who just want to lose weight and be healthy? Isnt that the common grounds to bring us together on MFP? Why do I have to be gay or geeky to be your friend?
Because I'd rather make friends than awkward acquaintances with whom I share no interests except that we both want to lose weight. I'd rather be able to say things about the important stuff in my life and have others be able to relate. I'd rather read posts from people who have similarities I can relate to. There's nothing wrong with making friends because you both just want to lose weight, but when there's literally thousands of people on the site, why does narrowing it down to people I have EVEN MORE in common with not make sense? To me it does.
And you don't have to be gay or geeky to be my friend. See above where people replied who were not gay, or who were Christian but non-judgemental and I said "Great, let's be friends". But posting this preference helped to bring the people who I'd probably be able to be friends with out in the open. Because if they're not gay or pagan, they're at least someone who won't hate me for being gay and pagan.
That said I'm not really going to defend my preference to making friends... if you don't agree that's okay. Make friends however you want. 0 -
If I didn't add you, feel free to add me. I am not sure if I got everyone. Many people sent requests so I accepted them.
Glad to meet ya all!0 -
LGBT, Pegan, Gamer Geek, yeah me too 0

I'm the L in LGBT(QIA+) (my lady is on here too but not active right now), not exactly Pagan (maybe a little) but I love and am fascinated by Paganism (long story), gamer in my own mind but not a very good one (and I want to replay AC3 but can't)... and I am definitely a geek to the core.
I love art, music, books, tea... cat lady (I have my own and I foster cats/kittens and puppies/dogs)... I ramble a lot... and on and on.
I have a bunch of sage incense sticks, but I need to go get an sage smudge stick for my room. I've had really weird dreams lately, and felt an unsettling energy, and I want to cleanse my room, my family's home, and myself, of all of it. (My little sister also makes AMAZING dream catchers... I need to commission one from her. The small one I got in Big Bear isn't doing its job.)
I'm Bonnie. *wave* I am a very nice, sensitive person, and I love making new friends.(.. but I don't like the term "alternative lifestyle". It has an untrue meaning/implication.)Potential friends make me nervous. People make me nervous. I'm a mess.
Me too, @F00LofaT00K.
Anyone can add me, just send a message when you do. Let me know about yourself and where you found me. (I have friend requests I am nervous to approve because of the no-message thing.)0 -
Yei for video games \o/ Also love scifi .. I cosplay and watch anime too (not so much anymore though). Feel free to add me if you like the same stuff 0
-
Great to see some other nerdy/geeky people on here
I'm a panromantic asexual, and I really like anime, sci-fi and fantasy novels, and video games. I love art and it just amazes me. I'm a moral nihilist but art tends to create feelings of awe in my despite that. I think creating things is a very spiritual act.
Unfortunately, I have to confess that the only kind of tea I've ever had comes from a teabag )':
Anyway, if anyone wants to add me or message me, feel free.0 -
Pagan and nerdy Im new here but would love to make some like minded friends. I love sci fi, crafting geeky toys for my kiddos, cooking, firefly, farscape, cons and really alot of things lol. feel free to add me and Best of Luck to all!

I'm one of those boring heteroes and I'm not pagan.....but I love video games, metal, sci-fi/horror/swords and sorcery stuff!
And zombies!0 -
Hey there! I'm always looking for new friends too! I'm not LGBT but I do support them. Love video games, movies, books, and so much music! A little about me, I'm a chef. I have a dog. I am engaged. Bout to turn 25. Southern girl born and bred, living in the frigid North now.
Feel free to add me if you're looking for friends! 0 -
I am straight, but both of my best friends are gay so I spend a lot of time at Pride, Rainbow Fest, gay bars etc. I am constantly walking a fine line between atheism and agnosticism. Not a gamer... I lose, and then I throw things lol. Absolutely LOVE to read! Always accepting friend requests :-)0
-
Not LGBT, but definitely a geek and a gamer, bookworm and nerd, I make geeky things from clay and spend too much time fangirling out over my favorite things. Tea is a must, both loose-leafed and bagged. Always looking for like-minded friends on here!0

Pick meeeeeee!0

Hi! Straight (single forever tho) ally, player of RPG video games but no live roleplaying (in public anyway), fan of Buffy/Battlestar/Dr Who (in love with Peter Capaldi), devourer of any fantasy/sci-fi book but non-reader of comics, strong atheist and really really serious coffee drinker. Although I enjoy mint tea at night.
Back here after dropping 25 lb then gaining 30...whee...I could definitely use some friends to help me stick around!0 -
Straight guy here, but I figure who you poke is none of my business.
All religion is Zeus to me. I just don't understand it. But living in the south, and having a very public job in a small town, I get asked all the time what church I go to. I always use a Homer Simpson quote to keep from telling the truth. {My wife is an elected official, and we have to worry about what folks think} I tell them I would love to go to church, but I'm afraid if I picked the wrong one, God would be getting a little more pissed every week.
I can't dink tea due to a kidney problem I acquired about 30 years ago. I didn't have health insurance, so I just learned how to live with it. Tea was the first thing I had to give up. But soda and alcohol were not far behind.
Not into games or role play. Also do not own a cell phone, but Doctor Who is the only drama I watch on TV. I guess that is kind of geeky.
The whole upstairs of my house is a library, so yes, I like to read. But when I was writing a series of novels set in 1718, I didn't read anything written after 1725. That was about four years. I write historical/business/adventure stories. I think I'm the only one writing in that genre.
I love music, and spent most of my life as a Dead Head. For years all I listened to was jam bands or blues-men, but these days I listen to more roots music, or Jimmy Buffet type stuff.
I am also a camera nut. I do a lot of wildlife photography, but what has caught on with folks is the pictures of my supper that I post every night. I post them here, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1402096-what-s-for-supper?page=3#posts-21252551, and two other places on the web.

Hello there! I would be considered pansexual, though it's more like panromantic and almost homosexual (only sexually interested in one man, the rest it's like... male genitals? Ew). I draw and write a lot. Though I definitely have my days where it's like, "Wow, that's total crap." I play an odd assortment of video games, or I used to. (Halo 3 isn't working anymore for some reason? And Dungeon Siege II won't install.) And I watch way too many television shows to list.

So, you're intolerant against those that are intolerant? Sounds legit.
oh did she say she didn't want other people to talk to her? beacuse I didn't read that. There is nothing wrong with looking for people who have common lifestyles who you will click better with.
Bob Dylan said don't hate nothing at all except hatred.
I am most definitely a geeky, reading, tea drinking (loose leaf or bagged doesn't matter), music listening, technophile. I am married with a child but I firmly believe that love is in short supply in this world, love whomever you want.0 -

Just wanted to post how awesome I think it is that you're a surrogate! What a wonderful gift you have given and will be giving again to this family! :happy:0 -
LGBT? No, but am an ally and supporter of my LGBT brothers and sisters.
Pagan? No, Episcopalian. If ya'll know anything about us, we love everyone, and respect the dignity of every human being. Whomever you are, you're good with us.
Video games? Love them! Just, I'm stuck in the 80's and early 90's. I play the **** outta anything vintage I can find.
Roleplay? Yeah, but probably not the kind you're referring to.
Art/music? Absolutely! I adore and support the arts of all kinds. I have been taking classical ballet for three years, absolutely ADORE just about any kind of art, and music.
Books? Love. The darker and twisted the better. House of Leaves has to be my favorite.
Loose-leaf tea? No. Not a tea drinker.
Geeky? Don't know that I'd call myself geeky, but I can relate to people from all walks of life.0 -
World of Warcraft has had me sucked in since before Wrath..ICC was my first raid
I sing karaoke in a gay bar and used to compete in swing with my favorite 'mo
