Minglong likes people and helping them and music and languages and is just generally interested in a lot of things. He's still drifting a little bit after finishing undergrad, working a whole slew of part time jobs, most of which have kind of variable schedules (or he sets the schedules). He married his husband during undergrad, but a lot of their circle from community college and UW has moved out of the area, so he's looking for friends.
Threads I Would Be Interested in for Minglong:
- Making new friends! Anyone sort of vaguely in his age range with generally adjacent interests
- Potentially romantic interest threads: Minglong and Baian are polyromantic, and they may end up dating other people as well either jointly or individually (this would also open up interaction/thread potential with Baian either way)
- People to work on music with
