I live in Arlington. Ergo, you have the potential to be a geographically feasible friend. Aside from Susan up the block. (puffs feathers into comfortable place) Umm, How do you feel about large poodles as exuberant dogs? Jamie will greet you that way. He generally keeps paws off, but he will sproink. How do you feel about cats? I have one big neutered male sponge cat and Brent came with a skitty neutered female who only sort of doesn't hate me.
Do you like to cook? I am adapting to diabetes, so many things require that I cut fat and carbs to proportional levels with protein. I end up cutting the rice and adding frozen vegetables or leaves from my lawn. "Oh, I greened it up."
I know Reston has good restaurants, as does Arlington, but I seldom eat out anymore. Mostly because I'm cheap and if I'm going to pay for a dining experience, it better be good. And I don't regard good food as something I'm willing to gripe over not getting. I do know my way around menus, and can be polite, but in general it's not worth going to. I'm not much for dressing up. Or eating bad-for-me food at enormous prices.
I told you that because most people meet potential friends at a restaurant. Saran is good. We've binged there. Long lunch buffet, if you get there early. Cheap. Vegetarian. High carbohydrate stuff, but fine for most, and I pick my peaks. Or we could do Chinese or Amercan Greek. Within ten minutes. I've checked them out.
Or we could cook. That's kind of intimate for a first meeting, But I love friends fiercely, after awhile. I used to take them camping. I live here now. English doesn't meet my needs for definitions of the varied types of love I have. It's okay because I know the differences, but don't get words to express them. Bleah. Shut up, annie. Okay.

Why is your background orange? Shut up.
