About Me

There are plenty of things I like. However, I don't like alarm clocks, light beer, math, or the GOP. Or Rush Limbaugh, though that should be obvious. After all, he did say "Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream." Good thing unattractive men don't need a social movement to gain access to society, or you might be in serious trouble, puddin' chops........I have pretty vivid dreams almost every night, and I take them seriously. A lot of the time I end up using something from a dream in my writing....... I feel lucky that I have such a smart, witty, talented partner like Matthew, and that I've found awesome people to be my mentors like Shannon, Bill, and Suzanne....... I feel unlucky that I get kidney stones and blinding migraines and that I have no sense of direction whatsoever.......I can't wait until I have enough money to travel. Until then, I read. A lot.......I wish I lived out in the country where my nearest neighbor was two miles away. I also wish I had a horse and a team of sled dogs. I also wish that I had a fuel efficient vehicle that I could use to drive into the city whenever there was something interesting going on.......If I could have one selfish wish, I would wish that my dogs would live as long as humans. If I could have two wishes, I'm sure the next one would have to do with money, and not needing any.......
