My Interests

Writing poetry, reading and writing about pop culture, comix and film, reading cyber fiction and brit-lit, playing bass guitar like I've only been doing it a few months, collecting art and items that stun me, William Blake, insane celebrities, traveling, comic book conventions and other geek-fests, visiting new restaurants, PS2, darts, pirate rum, scarves, purses, knee-socks, TOSHIO, shooting guns, avoiding the question, jumping mercilessly between contentment and utter restlessness, over-analysis

Moriarty's got my back. You have been warned:

I'd like to meet:
