My Interests

reading, art, pottery, and attempting to surf

I'd like to meet:

Artists, writers, thinkers, dedicated to the community, Gregoire Colin, people who are kind, and people who floss.I want to sleep only with guys that understand the importance of high threadcount sheets.

Music:

PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, The Killers, Now Its Overhead, Bjork, Breaking all the sterotypes as a gay man--I don't like musicals.

Movies:

Living Out Loud, All About My Mother, Talk to Her, Sphinxes Without Secrets, James Bond Films (a gulity pleasure that goes back to being 10 and wanting to be a spy and womanizer.)

Television:

I don't really watch tv but when I do it's embarrassing what entertains me. I found the E! Hollywood story about the Barbie Twins riveting—I’m not kidding.

Books:

American Dreams, Asthmatic Glassblower, Truth Serum, anything by Anais Nin, We Say We Love Each Other, Shock Treatment, The Wellspring, In My Father's Arms, Angry Women, High Risk, Black Looks, anything by Sharon Olds, Next, Trash, What the Living Do, White Trash Debutante,
