About Me

I'm absolutely the most innocent and gleefully sick person that anybody would ever want to meet. I'm confident with people. I like to cuddle, I like to wrestle. I am a complete puppy-dog until I see injustice and am quite creative about delivering lessons even from long distances. I've read too many comic books and too many obscure science articles. I'm constantly editing people to help them get their stories right. I hate bullies and I hate hypocrites. I am cursed with the ability to see through people. I am a more than decent tennis player and have dreams of delusion of going pro. I am a writer and my work is moving itself. I love creative, intelligent people and I love talking about any subject whatsoever without fear. I have little time for dishonest people and if you want to hang with me, you have to be a confident person and love fun, because that is what I am. I was a teacher for 12 years, but had to quit because as a teacher, I suffered the disorder of writer's block. Best thing I ever did. I am and will always be concerned with matters going on in the world. I studied Creative Writing Poetry and minored in film at UC Santa Cruz. Yeah, I'm a banana slug. You should know what that means. I like to blaze. I am very open with my friends, but am somewhat private. I want my writing to be famous, but don't want to be famous myself. I don't think of myself as especially intelligent or attractive, but most people do. I'm like a mad scientist, nerd, hippy, with a somewhat attractive frame. I'm very picky in matters of love. I hate that my dick is so superficial. And, I hate that the people I find attractive, don't usually measure up on the inside.
