Deeply silly, sweet, and strange

To keep this brief: I am looking for some new friends. Ideally somewhere in the UK or Europe, but anywhere in the world is fine. I love to travel and do so as often as possible.

I'm terrible at talking about myself. Let's make a list, shall we?

Pros:

¬ Super nerd, with all of the typical hobbies that come with that (games, fandoms, books, etc.)

¬ Neurospicy empath with earned-secure attachment

¬ Self-aware and self-sufficient

¬ Creator of cozy things, tasty treats, and magical memories

¬ If I'm in, I'm \*all\* in

Cons:

¬ High maintenance (note: I maintain myself just fine, thank you very much)

¬ Passionate about silly and superfluous things

¬ A bit blunt at times

¬ No patience for pretense

¬ Not casual about anything, ever

You :

¬ Be interesting, be passionate, be honest, be you.

¬ Communication is the price of admission here; not constant, but just consistent

¬ Teach me something new

¬ Write more than just "Hey" or a few words - give me something I can respond to

¬ Seeking friends, nothing more

¬ Preferably around my age (maybe 30 - 45?)

As I'm seeking something platonic, I don't much care what you look like, but if you'd like to see me you need to show me you first. It's only fair.

So I know you've read this, send me a short bio (like how you match my list above) and answer the following: if you were a cupcake, what type of cupcake would you be and why?
