The writer has a strong addiction
to the magic imported bean of life..

Likes: Playing with my kids, hanging out with my wife, steamed green beans with almonds, B-grade horror and sci-fi movies, anime, comic books, manga, John Cusack films, Dr. Who, redheads, women in stockings, Scooby Doo (classic, though, not the Scrappy crap), jazz, funk, rock, electronica (love trance particularly), the thin patch of a woman's skin between a tall boot and a knee-length skirt, BBC America, Sci-Fi Channel, pondering the existential angst of religious thought and longing, writing essays, short stories and songs, playing guitar, bass and harmonica, beach volleyball, cheesecake (the food and the art style).
Dislikes: Religious bullying, inability to debate without fighting, talking more than a few minutes having to talk about about ADD or OCD, being away from the computer for too long, close-mindedness, people too much like myself, prudishness, excessive trashiness in clothes, feeling the aches of getting older, onions, bananas, coconut, the redneck mentality, disrespect, contemporary romantic comedies, sports-themed films.
Super Powers: Can makes friends quickly and easily. Transparent to a fault, sometimes a bad thing. Occasionally able to sway people to his will thanks to his charm. A hopeless flirt.
Secret Weakness: An Internet connection. It saps his willpower and strength and locks his butt into the chair in front of the monitor. A redhead or blonde in sexy boots and a knee-length skirt. That's like kryptonite, I'm afraid.
Proficiencies: Able to string words together to create stories and relay facts in ways that dazzle readers. Proficient in designing Internet sites. Can provoke emotional response (in a good way) by playing stringed instruments and arranging pre-recorded loops. Can make a kickin' cappucino. Knows the difference between a salad fork and a dinner fork (and even those tiny seafood forks).
