Bahahahahaa that was the cheesiest of pickup lines, good job XD
Country cottage sounds like a great retirement plan unless you suddenly turn into a social butterfly in your old age XD
apparently it can happen
Back when I was trying to "make it" (still not sure what that means) as an artist and doing gig work as a webmonkey I did try to find the right people but I suck at that so I just stopped after a while (also it was taking an extremely limited amount of available time from making stuff so screw it I'll just do my thing.
People ended up finding me eventually (before I was even in an actual volunteer position at what is now my current job people were coming up to me and asking me questions because I was there all the time and unfortunately distinctive thanks to how I insist on having my stupid hair, and I didn't help myself by usually knowing the information they were asking) and the pace was a hell of a lot more comfortable (I am very introverted and don't like dealing with people x_x) but not what anyone with bigger measures of success would consider profitable.
Glad you and "Selena" managed to both have a nice chat and hangout at a tedious event rather than hiding out bored like you may have done if you hadn't both happened to want the same hiding spot :)
