life ticks along, whether we want it to or not

About Me

I'm a shy man, who's getting comfortable in his skin. I'm sure of myself as a person now more than ever. I try to think of myself as being more liberated. It takes a while to get to know me, but I can observe someone else and figure them out pretty quickly. I don't like insincere people, and I can spot them from miles away. I tend to shy away from large crowds but thoroughly enjoy the company of a few good friends.

My Interests

art & architecture. music. classic novels. saving the planet. falling asleep with the light (it is compact fluorescent) on because i can't put down my latest book. drawing until my hands hurt. camping. cycling. hiking.

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet all kinds of people for some good friendships. Gay men for friends and maybe more.

Music:

pretty much anything, but rap and pop--no bubble gum for this boy. my music must have substance. this list below is by no means complete; it's more like the top 20 bands i listen to...
Imogen Heap, Frou Frou, Zoe Keating, Evanescence, Gorillaz, Black Eyed Peas, Creed, The Killers (Hot Fuss only), The Postal Service, Coldplay, Death Cab for Cutie, John Mayer, The Beatles, Gnarls Barkley, Jamie Cullum, Michael Buble, Muse, Annie Lennox, Esperanza Spalding, Deep Forest, The Decemberists, Jem, John Lennon, Junior Private Detective, Zero 7

Movies:

I like indie and foreign films. Sometimes Hollywood flicks, but only the best.

Television:

Project Runway, Lost, House, America's Next Top Model

Books:

current pages: American Gods (Neil Gaiman)
past pages: Tales of the City (Armistead Maupin); Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse (Stephenie Meyer); Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman); The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarilion (J.R.R.

Gay rights in the 2008 elections
