Looking for curious animal lovers to buddy up with

Heya,

I am 32, working in artificial intelligence and a huge fan of animals -- have had cats for most of my life but also absolutely love dogs. I am open minded and looking for a buddy that I get along with that can ideally grow to be friends with! I have a variety of interests and always looking to try new things. Currently I am exploring writing a screenplay, complete noob when it comes to this but I enjoy writing a lot! Generally quite enjoy getting to know people and expanding my horizons through them. I am very tidy and like my own space, but also happy to do things together. People with cats or dogs are more than welcome! :)
