I'm not white, damnit!! I'm pigmentally-challenged!!

About Me

Theorising that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. James Dunn stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator... and vanished! I awoke to find myself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not my own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. My only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from my own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only I can see and hear. And so I find myself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that my next leap will be the leap home.I am also at times sarcastic. The rest of the time I'm merely trouble. And troubled. PUT YOUR ABOUT ME SECTION HERE! Changes may take up to 2 mins to show on your profile

My Interests

Writing, reading, listening to music, drinkin' tea and whatever else comes to hand, preferably of the alcoholic persuasion... plotting out mass murders, living in a fantasy world with more bizarre rules than the real one, goofing around on the internet... I like to scribble more than I like Scrabble, but neither as much as I like to dribble. I hate computers and all things technical. I believe the world should be kept as simple as possible, and if at all possible, simpler still! This includes day-to-day chores, CD players, sibling issues, mood swings and the ordering of take-out.

I'd like to meet:

Gunga Din. Why? ...I just like the name. PUT YOUR I'D LIKE TO MEET SECTION HERE! Changes may take up to 2 mins to show on your profileView All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Unless The Simpsons are on, it's not really worth turning the TV on lately.
