ready to settle in and grow up a bit

About Me

Tall, blonde, thin, sometimes jaded, always laughing quite loudly, loves music and videogames and literature (fine or fantastical) and wine (fine or cheap) and sex. Pretentious about music and literature, but only in the sense that there is so much good music and literature to experience that there is no time to be wasted on shitty music and literature. Tries to be a good and noble human being with mixed results, depending on the situation and the effectiveness of the bastards that are currently trying to hold him down.I'm vegan at home, a vegetarian about town, but I don't shy away from meat if you give it to me.

On MySpace now...

Well.  I've finally caved in and gotten a profile here.  Hopefully I can figure out how to use this site -- I'm sort of deluged by all of the ads and pictures and flashy things and that damn...
