I aim to misbehave.

About Me

I'm somewhat quirky. Some might say, extremely quirky. I laugh at myself frequently, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to. I dislike spiders. Any man in my life must be skilled in the art of spider capture and disposal. Spiders are much craftier than they appear. The quickest way to get me to leave the room is to play anything by Billy Joel. I have a preference for tall men, yet feel guilty for being so shallow. I love all things furry (especially those with little hands and feet). I am opposed to wearing anything furry. I can be moved to tears by roadkill. I can be incredibly kind and sensitive, but don't mistake my kindness as weakness. I'm attracted to creative people. I love Sci-Fi. I have a fondness for cheese. I could live in Barnes & Noble if they'd just install that Jacuzzi Shower System I've requested. I've been known to go MIA for periods of time, but it's not because I don't like you, really. I tend to submerge myself in whatever project I'm working on at the time, and I require a substantial amount of "Me" time. Though social by nature, I sometimes enjoy stretches of solitude. I promise I will get back to you eventually :) I like being around people I can learn something from.

I consider myself lucky to have an amazing dad and a fabulous brother John. I lost my other brother in 1998, and my mother in March 2006. Life will never be the same. All I can hope is that I will see them again in another life, when I leave this body...

I love what I do for a living, and the people I do it with. I love writing, and have just begun working on a novel. My dream is to be published. I'm generally easygoing, unless you cross me or mine...then look out. :) I believe anything is possible and will always find a way. I often feel like Ricky Fitts - sometimes there's so much beauty in the world...I remember that.
It's never too late to change your world.

No power in the 'verse can stop me.
