I am here for Friends

About Me

Despite my eclectic tastes, you'll notice my favorites lean more towards queer and post-feminist material. I love to live and experience, but if you're having trouble finding me in Chicago, then I'm probably in Azeroth. Find out more at Jefftown's LiveJournal . "Dawn. Nature's way of saying, Here ya' go-- take another shot. Try again. Here's a whole new day in which to succeed... to give reality to the dreams you had the night before." -Scott Lobdell

My Interests

movies, theatre, psychology, comics, wicca, gaming, livejournal, blogging, chatting

I'd like to meet:

People come in a huge array of shapes, sizes, and colors each with their own experiences and perspectives to enrich our lives. That said, I figured I'd use this space to squeeze in some Whedon wisdom. "You'll all have to take care of each other. You'll have to be strong... the hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live."
