About Me

Here's what I know: I am a "jack of all trades, master of none" type who is very adept at drawing, painting, writing fiction, and singing, but so far not good enough at any of them to be famous for any of them (although I have been paid for the drawing and the writing). I'm extremely analytical, with a great love for puzzles of logic and reasoning (though I despise Sudoku with all my heart for its one-dimensionality and its role in dumbing down America). I'm very resistant to change, but then equally gung-ho for any change whose waters I've tested and found to my liking. I'm extremely laid back, calm, and unflappable. I am naive and too trusting for my own good...but wouldn't want it any other way. I suffer from Linusitis (love mankind, can't stand people - although, don't get me wrong, I'm not a curmudgeon, I probably just need to live in a less populous place). I love to laugh, and to make others laugh even more. And I am finally breaking the mold of defeatist thinking, of automatically assuming "I can never be successful at X," and moving beyond the comfort zone of the tried and proven, since so far it has proven to be neither challenging nor fulfilling. I am single, open to anything from hookups to dating to marriage (eventually), but I find I am increasingly LTR-minded lately. Not looking, but when someone does come along, I am much more circumspect, keeping the Long Term/Big Picture in the back of my mind. Not that I'm evaluating potential partners on the basis of what they can do for me, but definitely no longer throwing myself into relationship archetypes that have failed before (particularly the father-son ones). I don't expect perfection, just honesty and accessibility. Ultimately, I need to be in a relationship with someone who helps me build on the parts of me that are already good, noble, and desirable, who can be patient with my faults and weaknesses, and who wants to grow together without molding us into identical twins...and to give exactly that and to be exactly that for him in kind.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Dave Salmoni (YUM!), Michael Chiklis (OOF!), Janet Jackson, Gerard Butler, Roddy McDowell (RIP), Madonna, the Dalai Lama, Stephen King, George W. Bush (in a locked room with no windows for just five minutes...), Clive Barker. Actually, I already did meet Clive Barker at a book signing (before I knew he was gay). The guy queued up in front of me had a card and a screamingly red rose and was trembling visibly the whole time - I was so embarrassed for Clive, not because some "homo" was "in love" with him, but...I mean...how do you respond to that kind of attention/affection from someone you've never met? Anyway, I got a chuckle out of him by asking him to inscribe "To Eric, who laughed all the way through it" on the title page for Rawhead Rex in my copy of Books of Blood Vol. I. But now that I know him better and he's all steroided out, I'd really like to meet him in a more...personal setting, if you know what I mean (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more!).
