arndthwrld82 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 This may seem a little strange but here goes...I moved to Houston in December because my fiance` is a nurse in the med center. I travel for work and rarely have an opportunity to interact with people locally so I don't know anyone yet. So basically I'm looking for some friends and I really have no idea how to go about it. It's a strange thing to try to make friends as an adult without meeting people through work or school.I've really grown to love Houston and HAIF has been an invaluable resource for me to get to know my adopted home better. So I figured this would be as good a place as any to start.A little about me:Male, 29, engagedI spent 4 years living in Japan when I served in the Navy, got out and went to UTTyler to finish my bachelors degree.I like sports, particularly footballl, hockey, and MMAEnjoy going out for drinks.(love me some bourbon)Love cracking jokes (the more off-color, the better)Live music and stand-up comedy are 2 of my favorite thingsMusic; Robert Earl Keen, Kevin Fowler, Old Crow Medicine Show, Turnpike TroubadoursComics; Ron White, Louis CK, Joe Rogan, Greg HahnPolitically; right leaning libertarian (sorta)Survivalism, love planning for the zombie apocalypsefood, guns, hunting, fishing, normal guy stuff I guessThis has grown entirely too long, but if any one is interested in grabbing a beer sometime or anything else just message me or respond to this post. I'm in west houston but willing to drive.Thanks for readingRobert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 There are HAIF get togethers every once and a while you could go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 welcome to HAIF. You sound like a stand-up guy. Watch for any posts on HAIFY happy hours. We should probably do an end of summer/back-to-school one, if for no other reason than to plan our fall meet-up extravaganza. Warning, you will get sucked into endless political, aesthetic and transit debate, but that's sort of the point. Oh, and most of us like our liquor, a number are very well armed, and all have specific ideas on communal living in the post-zombie-apocalypse.

RedScare Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Oh, and most of us like our liquor, a number are very well armed, and all have specific ideas on communal living in the post-zombie-apocalypse. By the way, the concrete for the zombie fallout shelter was poured today. I still don't know how we were able to get that in the back yard without code enforcement seeing us.

RedScare Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Well, if I posted the location on an internet forum, then the zombies with internet could find it now couldn't they? You'll just have to show up at the happy hour to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedScare Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 1) We would never have a happy hour at a place so mainstream as Flying Saucer.2) LTAWACS has never been to one of our happy hours. He usually doesn't know where we have them himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
