    I've started being better about going to the gym, which is good because playing swtor is keeping me mostly inactive otherwise.

    Took down the Christmas tree and the remaining outside lights. It has been an unusually warm and snow less winter here.

    Made a nice dinner at home for my partner and I: A wild rice dish, steamed broccoli and baked salmon.

    1. Where were you born?
    2. Where do you live at the moment?
    3. Where else have you lived?
    4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?
    5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself :)

    what's to tell? been heavy all my life despite the dancing and acrobatics. that's why I never minded being heavy-my body always did what I wanted it to do, including backflips.

    I love nyc and seeing shows - it fits in well with teaching in a theater department.

    I tend to be a sun-slut. especially back in the days of full-time pharmacy when I had to run away from work and the islands were close.... my favorite vacations of all time were windjammer barefoot cruises-and I like all-inclusives too, but am branching out.

    This isn't easy- I'm pretty dull.. let's see... I tend to be a hard-core catholic who believes in confession....

    and.....my parents died a while back, so it's just me and my brother and his wife and 2 kids and her big family....I have one uncle left on my father's side, lost my mother's last sibling last year but 3 first cousins are sometimes around...and my dog of 15 years had to be put to sleep in october ..( are you getting the Italian immigrant thing going on here? lived in the same place all my life......family oriented....?)
    and if we're going for 6- sometimes I get fed up with being an adult and would love to have someone clean my house and take over the domesticity of my life-maintaining the furnace and utilities... all that stuff....

    I thought there were no live gay groups on here. Well, i would welcome support/friendship/cruel humour from other gay men - nothing against soccer moms and the rest, they are all great, but I'm not sure they get all the cultural references. I live in London with a man and a dog, we lived in NYC for a short while, am very hard to shock, am having a bit of a difficult time in some regards, have 10 kilos more to lose, have decided to go with the flow regarding some of the crazy views you read on MFP, am frightfully middle class but have three tattoos, and will get some more done when I have lost the weight and find a tattooist who is cute. I have never been camping or to a sports event or a rock concert, but i do know how to mix up J-lube when there's no water to hand. Am looking for friends on here.
