Sláinte!

[callmetheseeker]

Hi everyone. My name's Patrick and I've never successfully kept a blog going before. I'm 25, recently moved to Ottawa from a smaller Ontario town and employed as a software developer out of my apartment.

I am usually found in front of the computer playing one of the few instruments I own (sometimes even decently!), building something in the basement or trying to cobble a social life together in this new town. I wish I was a writer or visual artist, but I'm not lucky enough to have been visited by those muses yet. From time to time you might be linked to things like videos of some music I get around to recording, photos of the robot I built for my undergrad degree or of the steampunk costume I'm putting off creating. Shamefully and secretly into LARPing (think Amtgard) but please don't tell anyone.

As much as I won't be posting everyday, I'll be reading this daily. I tend to stay quiet unless pushed, so if anyone adds me I would love to be motivated to open up a bit :) I'll try to comment on anyone's blog who adds me as I think that's a kind thing to do. Cheers!

I am a sporadic poster (though I post a little more reliably on my blog www.wouldbewritercantcook.blogspot.com) but you sound like a cool guy. And I also read this every day. I'd like to add you :)

[callmetheseeker]

Please do!

Hopefully I can stay motivated to keep breathing life into whatever this turns into. I'll be sure to check the blog link from time to time as well : )

Your birthday is apparently the day after mine! :P

Makes you instantly cool.

[callmetheseeker]

I think I know more people born around those few days than any other time during the year. Added, if you don't mind :)

[snarky]

Don't mind at all if you won't mind how sporadic I am with this! Adding back, of course.

You sound interesting; I'll add you!

[callmetheseeker]

Thanks! I hope to keep it interesting : )

Do you ever post your writing on here? I've only been exposed to the more mainstream sci-fi authors but I can't get enough of the genre.

[83_tauri]

I have in the past; I think they're under tags like 'creative writing' or possibly 'writing'. I haven't got much done recently, unfortunately!

You sound pretty awesome, and you're actually not too terribly far away from me - I live in Potsdam, NY. :D Added!

[callmetheseeker]

Thanks! Added back : )

I also didn't realize how close I was to the U.S...What's Potsdam all about?

[dreamingpixels]

It's a rather boring little college town - a lot of the people here actually flock to Ottawa for entertainment, haha. But yeah, not much here. (And in the summer? Positively dead. XD)

Added :)

Thanks!

Glad to find the link to the spacenews LJ group. Keep up with NASA's picture of the day?

[matopia]

Yep :) I have the app on my phone now, since I don't use Livejournal anymore. The app so all types of photos, not just photo of the day; it's excellent!

[clopen]

You sound interesting! I've subscribed :-)

[callmetheseeker]

Likewise, thanks! Interested to see if/what you end up posting on transhumanism (saw it in your interests); it's something I don't know much about but it interests me :)

[clopen]

Kekeke. I don't know much about it either! I think my interests in it started when I learnt about Stelarc, since I've always been a bit at war with my physical body.
You built a robot for your undergrad? Cool :-) What does it do?

[sunday_dreadful]

You sound like a cool guy so I'm adding you, if you don't mind? I don't post every day either, but I do read and comment. :)

[rainflowermoon]

You are officially cool because you built a robot. Adding you :)
