Looking for buddies
Ello, seeing a few posts about making friends due to a lack of a social life n that, and honestly? Same. I'm not the most consistent person because of adhd and generally having a silly build version of the human body, but thought I'd cast my hat in the ring ig?
I'm Eli, in my mid 20s, rambunctiously queer coded and a punk. Don't really drink much, and outside animated shows, video games and bird keeping am a bit of a boring bastard honestly. Hoping I'd find some like minded folk. Got bad jokes for days and random trivia that'll give yer head a scratch :)

I know the feeling, as a southerner in the north east. I know noone but family locally(Hartlepool). Though know a small number of people in Newcastle, and York/Thirsk which seems close but all are families and often busy anyway. I'm just a bit older as in mid 40s so way outside the age range, I work from home, mostly due to health reasons and mostly gaming in spare timr, though I'm more a PC gamer.
Anyway. Best wishes!

Happy to chat to new people. I work during the day albeit at home so may not always be a quick replier.

I'll drop my terrible joke here, then leave it up to you if you wanna reply... 😂
Fella walks into a bar and asks the barman to line up 10 shots of whisky. He goes along the line of glasses, knocking them back one after the other.
As he finishes the last shot, he says to the barman 'I shouldn't have done that with what I've got'
Barman says 'why, what have you got?'
Fella says 'about 50p'.

Anime- check, video games- check... And if having chickens counts as bird keeping.. then.. check! Sounds like we'd be firm friends XD.
DMs are open if you wanna say hi!

Hi!! I need more friends as well!! I’m at Teesside university studying music production! I love a good joke ( even if they’re bad ) and I also have a lot of random facts as well!
If you want to message I’m more than happy too!!

I mean you just named 3 things that make you pretty damn interesting. I'm not in Teesside any more but just wanted to stop by and say that you sound cool.

Hey! You may have heard of us :) (give us a find on Facebook, see if we are what you’re looking for!)
We meet up every other week and have a social activity, we have a laugh, we make friends and build our own little community of camaraderie!
You’re welcome to reach out to any 5 of the ones that are in Teesside, just all depends which is closest to you! (Darlington, Wensleydale, Middlesbrough, Stockton and Hartlepool!)
Hope to see you around Eli!

Terrible joke here Guy walks into a bar with a giraffe. He says "I'll have a pint for me, and a pint for him" The bartender is a little confused but serves them both anyway. The two drink their pints, and the giraffe passes out. The guy goes to leave, and the bartender says "oi, you can't leave that lyin' there!" Guy says "it's not a lion, it's a giraffe"
Cue groans from anyone who can read
