Write me if you like or know where I can find

MST3K
role playing,
beatnik poetry,
writing circles,
Rocky Horror Picture Show,
acting,
acting strangely (breaking social norms I have not even figured out yet. Yeah!)
a badminton partner,
night bicyclists,
beachcombers,
tech-heads interested in building odd computers or robotics,
gearheads interested in dune buggies or hovercraft,
programmers intersted in building puzzle/rpg games,
paintball groups,
swing dancing,
a jazz/blues group looking for a songwriter/singer,
swimming teams or partners,
improv or skit comedy,
sailing,
good philosophical discussions,

or anything you think this list suggests. This is a 25 year old American writing. I’m fun and apparently quirky; I sing whatever song I’m writing at the moment in the street. I make funny faces at children in the MRT. I spend whole afternoons on random benches peoplewatching and sketching fictitous character histories. Drop me a line if you are or know people or groups who I should meet.

I hate to break this to you trep…

but you’re quite normal here. :slight_smile:

Welcome!

As for where you should go, I suggest a happy hour.

I never thought I’d be this happy to be normal. :smiley: Happy hour would be great, but I work on Thursday evening/nights. Any others to suggest?

jdsmith is correct. Just being here makes you a bit of a misfit, and that makes you normal, kinda, around here.

However, I’d be interested in any clarification or confirmation you could give re the above quoted sections of your post. Are you really hoping to find a jazz/blues group that is looking for swimming teams or partners? And, are you looking for a paintball group that also likes swing dancing?

I have to admit, even amongst the various misfits here, folks who fit your descriptions above would be rather different.

How about Animals Taiwan Quiz Night. I’m in a need of a team here. This thread: http://www.forumosa.com/taiwan/viewtopic.php?t=32548&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0

PS: I don’t do any of those things you listed but I am quirky alright.

night riding in the mountains suit you?

Sounds very cool! What kind of terrain?

Regardless, it’ll have to wait untill I get a mountain bike. I have a POS street bike that may be older than me right now. Still, bikes are cheap and payday’s coming, so it shouldn’t be too long. :smiley:

You’ll need more than a $2000 Giant to tackle the hills with AWOL.

Mmmmm. Better wait until I have a decent bike AND health insurance… Mucho Gracias Mucha!

I’m a tech-head/programmer thinking about starting a local chapter of the IGDA since I can’t get in touch with their Taiwan contact. Been working on a couple of games the past year, not RPGs though. Maybe I should also think about finally paying the membership fee…

Hi,

I also would love to find an improv group; I did it for years in San Diego, but haven’t found anything here yet.
