41 [M4F] 20016 - Delicious baked goods, great conversation and an Irish accent
Happy Friday eve Reddit! I'm an Irish man living on the east coast of the US. My Thursday evening plans have fallen through so I thought it would be a fun idea to turn to Reddit for some distraction. I have been here for a few years and, while I didn't have plans to move back, have actively been considering making an escape. So, if you need an exit strategy, just let me know! I have an EU passport, an Irish accent and a disarming sense of humour :)
A little about me... I'm a big fan of long walks...between the couch and fridge. I really enjoy running...out to stock up on snacks. And I also like bike rides. Actual bike rides. No joke - have to stay active and keep in shape. Even pre-pandemic, I enjoyed cooking and baking. My cookies are better than yours....or as good as yours....well, they taste good to me at least. And my brownies are sensational. I'm also a big reader and always have a book or two on the go as well as enjoying a good TV show. I’m the kind of person who is intentional about their use of time. Whether that is a morning spent reading on the couch, or going for a 5 mile hike. Both are great! But time is a nonrenewable resource and I would like to use to my downtime to see who I can meet.
Just to preempt some common questions: Yes, I still have the accent. No, I am not always drunk. Yes, I can make soda bread. No, it shouldn’t have raisins. Yes, I love potatoes. No, I've never caught a leprechaun. Yes, I have heard of the town where your ancestors are from. No, I’ve never had corned beef and cabbage. Maybe I know your friend/cousin Liam.
Anyway, I’m really not expecting much from this, it feels like shouting into the void, but if you are someone who would like a little distraction for a few hours/days/weeks/months/longer with someone who thinks he is a good conversationalist with a solid sense of humour and no expectations of anything beyond that, please do reach out. Just don’t ask me about my lucky charms.
