Hey, figure I’d give this a bit of a burl. I’m Ed, a corporately-acceptable presenting metal loving punky old goth slowly re-establishing the black in the wardrobe (somehow under crippling rent bills lol); I’m looking for cool people, potentially a special girl but also mates in general.
Hanging around Melbourne’s East, I dig music in general - besides our obligatory areas we all know and love, I also love some dark country, blues, Americana, musicals, dark electronica, many odd little things.
Love my sci fi and fantasy and pop culture, I *want* to love horror but need someone to tell me it’s all right and it’s just a movie when I run and hide behind the couch 🤪 Star Wars is a big thing in my life, but it doesn’t stop there. BSG, Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, Aliens, Predator, Firefly (despite Dirty Uncle Joss…) All sorts of stuff. I have a funny love for 2000s era Canadian TV shows like Continuum, Killjoys, Sanctuary and the like, way better than they had any right to be. Loved em.
I love a bit of cooking, love eating out, love a good midweek pub gig, just hoping to link up with people to go hang out with. Foods: love Italian and Japanese broadly, love a good (mild) curry; trying to work on getting spicier of course 😂🥵 Love to cook pasta sauces, Mexican mixes, for toppings and fillings all sorts. Omnivorous but very supportive of vegan and veggie mates.
Also love a good gaming session, currently loving Baldur’s Gate 3, also keen for the odd TT and board game. Would love to find a good group for a DnD session semi regularly; this basically describes a lot of the gaming I love.
There’s also a real country-boy streak in me that likes the idea of heading up Mt Dandenong or somewhere and getting lost in the bush (with a map! I’m not totally daft 🤪), especially with winter kicking in. I guess here is a good point to confess I have a nerdy love of football, the round-ball kind: Melbourne Victory (Aus), Portsmouth FC (UK) and St Pauli (Ger) are my favourite teams.
I’ve got two teen kids, I hang out with one most weekends, so ideally I hope to find people who will get me out and about during the weeknights. I plan on adopting a fur kid in coming months as well, as it’s time to expand my family! 😂
So what are you into, up to, or down to?
