HELLO
what type of year.. month... week... or day have you had ?
what was things like for you yesterday ?
are you looking forward to doing anything this week ?
and what type of person do you think would suit you because of your life style ?
Interesting thread--I'm looking forward to hearing about such diverse people in such diverse places!
I teach Uni. and this week has been about coming back to office reality after a summer spent going to powwows, sweat lodges, and even a three day Native American traditional dance--complete with fasting (food & water) and SILENCE throughout the three days. It was indescribable.
I've also spent my summer learning Tarot. I did my first reading of someone else this past weekend.
Type of person to suit me? Someone who thinks going to sweat lodges when it's 90s-100s degree F outside is enjoyable! In other words, I'm a lost cause!
hi there....cool thread. Well... I've a kind of chaotic life style in a way. I live on the country side close to Kilkenny /Ireland. It's a village kind set up where people with special needs ( mainly mentally disturbed ) and volunteers from all over the world live and work together. I am here for 7 years and am part of the management/staff team. Next to that I am running a farm ...not big..5 cows, 9 cattle, 8 sheep and a duck.So.. it's busy. I like what I do and I am quite happy, apart from the fact that it is hard to find somebody who wants to get involved in that life style.. or at least accepts it....thinking about it...it's different, but actually not that much different.
I think in terms of which person would ssuit me and my life style.... the main thing is he has to be tollerant and open-minded.To be social helps a lot too.

hi schmagi
glad you like the thread !
well what an interesting and challenging job you've got there !
how often do you have staff meetings to discuss the developement of each of the people that are being cared for then ?
what made you choose that type of work and the lifestyle ?
is it something that you always want to do in the same place ....or would you consider eventually relocating ? ( mind you when you've committed to helping people like that and enjoy watching the developements of your hard work it must be difficult for people like you to just 'up and leave' the people that you're helping and just walk away )!
what's the living accomation like for the staff ?
and how far is your farm from where you work ?
and how's the farm going .....do you get enough time away from the village to yourself on the farm ?
anyway welcome to the forum !
i hope you make lots of freinds from the post and more people away from the village and the farm to share your life with !
you got a lot of questions there about my lifge style. Well first of all....I just wanted to go away from germany and i got this job I started as volunteer there for a year... but yes you get pretty attached to people and i stayed, trained and belong to the " management" by now. I have my own space , a flat, in the community. I basically live like a "normal " person and during the day I work. So it is a good life as such. I am financially independent and do whatever other people do and take time when i need it. It can be intense sometime... but I like it, never boring.
I guess I won't stay there forever... but for now that's what I do.

hi
i ask these questions to 'keep the fire burning' for people that want to to talk about their lives !...or for potential partners and freinds of people want to talk to people about their lives !

are there any more people that live in remote places or do anti social jobs ?...or work anti social hours ?...or just had enough of going to pubs or clubs to meet people ?
is the internet really the best place to try and meet a romantic partner because of your life style ?
I live a pretty normal life, with it sometimes getting a little bit chaotic. I'm 19, and still live with my family. I work full time... Probably the only complaint(s) I have with my life is the annoying problems that come up here and there. And also whenever I attempt to hook up with someone...
Other than that, that's my life in a nutshell.
I'd like to share a well-blanced lifestyle with a wonderful and beautiful woman. Which includes going out with our peers, staying in and watch movies, or going to sporting events (you get the picture). Someone who likes to be adventorous like myself.
I have a very interesting life. Other than the countless hours (too many) that I spen on CS, I have an 8 year old daughter who is in 3rd grade and wants to skip to 4th grade ...very trying! She is very smart, and wants to become a chemist so that she can make her own make-up and perfumes etc. I am a disabled American vet, with nearly 10 years in the Army, and I was a drill sgt for a while. Became a drill sgt when I was turned down by special forces. Now that I am out, I am a full time student about to finish my bachelors degree in Microbiology, double majoring in criminology, with a minor in psychology. Yes my main goal is eventually to work in a forensics lab, but I was a fan before it was cool. I have worked with police and mp's for years. I have 3 very close friends who I spend time with as much as possible, coffee, lunch, we even have dinner together. My friends and I are so close that they consider my daughter their neice! And on top of all that ....I am an avid online gamer....yes I am a nerd in every sense of the word! But I dont care, thats me! Oh and I have travelled to nearly every state in the US and have been to at least 6 different countries.
Hmmm well i'll try, in comparison to everyone else's it seems pretty boring!
A bit when your writing your profile, you cant think what to write... how do you try to put across what you are about?
I work 9-5 as an operations assistant for a shipping company, the work i must admit is pretty boring but the people are brilliant, unlike any other job i've had people actually want to socialise, which iv never got in some works, you spend most of your time with these people and they practically run away from you. Anyway... thats work.
Social wise, i love to go out with my friends as much as possible, mainly at a friends house or at a pub. Have about a small group of friends but all really close, i like to be comfortable.
During the week its mainly hitting the gym, trying to stick to the diet, watching soaps, films, reading books and on the net.
Who am i looking for hmm... you never know what type of person you want really, i would like someone who has the same interests as me but also opposite to teach me other things. Like when you read a book, your sucked into that world, i wanna be sucked into someone else's world for real and come out the other end with a whole new experience. Thats what life's all about isnt it, learning new experiences!
Life at the moment is pretty hectic.. I love my job, because I believe it to be worthwhile.. I do alot of Legal Aid work, and I work with young offenders and deal with family and childcare issues that kind of thing.. could be wealthier I guess, but I do like it... v rewarding when a kid starts on the straight road.. I am also in the middle of writing a book and can blow hot and cold with that so it is a real weight on my shoulder..
The 'someone' I share 'my life' with (find it hard to refer to this.. feels cheesy) would have to be creative, intelligent, socially aware, have a sense of humour and be loving and loyal.. life with this person I would like to be an exploration.. with a companian :flower:
