About Me

I'm a friendly person who enjoys meeting other nice people. I'm a writer, a sf/fantasy fan, a musician, and a lover of squirrels (platonically speaking, of course).
I've always tried to follow my bliss. But then my bliss got all nervous and said, "Stop stalking me or I'll call the cops," and I didn't stop and he did call, and there was this whole messy affair with court rulings and restraining orders and a night in the slammer with a punk who called himself El Chupacabra. Sheesh :(

I'd like to meet:

I'm looking for someone who is kind, mature, honest, creative, and fun-loving. He should know himself (I don't mean in the biblical sense) and be able to find joy in life. Oh yeah, he also has to laugh at my stupid jokes :) Love of sf/fantasy is a bonus. I've also always wanted to date another musician -- I'm a bit rusty now on the piano, but would love to have a muse for mutual inspiration.
