Not Single/Not Looking...for a date

I found a link to this from hsv2, and I thought I'd introduce myself. That doesn't seem like the place to make friends.

For starters, this is my real journal. Most of my friends, at least the important ones, know that I'm hsv2 positive. Most of them even know the details of the couple of ways I probably got it. (Sucks that I don't know for sure.) I'm pretty frank about it, and I'm not ashamed to have anyone know the truth. My journal itself is friends only, but if you want to read it and leave a comment, I'll add you.

Name: Karen or Kate
Height: 5'1" or 5'3" depending on which state agency or doctor's office you ask.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Long, light blonde, and wavy
Location: IN until I get to marry my wonderful boyfriend and move back to TX.
Education: HS graduate studying technical theatre, fashion, and art at Ball State University.
Employment: I'm looking for something part time to fill some gaps and pay for things...like a house and a certain wedding.

I'm really fortunate to have a great RL support network for this - my sister also has hsv2, and my best girlfriend has hpv. Kind of a sad thing to bond over, but I think we've all come to terms with our assorted viruses...at least for the most part.

I guess I'm just looking for friends/new people to talk to. I'm not interested in fooling around on Matt - he's worth so much more than that. I am open to chat/gaming/voicing/hanging out with other people, though, male or female.

Having glanced at the journals of the other members of this group so far, I think I might have come a little further than you...but I hope it just means that I can be a sounding board and offer some comfort. You both seem to have a lot to offer, and I look forward to reading what you have to say on good days, too.
