My Interests

Reading, writing, music, movies, spending time with my girlfriend Jen, reading, writing -- did I mention those last two already?

I'd like to meet:

Of the living--in no special order: Stephen King, Peter Straub, Caitlin R. Kiernan, John Irving, Neil Gaiman, Anne Rice, Poppy Z. Brite, Tim O'Brien, Jack Ketchum, Michael Laimo, Richard Russo, Douglas Clegg, Bentley Little, Sephera Giron, Edward Lee, Tom Wolfe, Barbara Gowdy, ...

Of the dead--also in no special order: John Steinbeck, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Robertson Davies, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Charles Dickens, Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickenson, Carl Jung, ...
I'm certain I could go on and on, really.
I do not know most of the people below, listed as my top friends, but I have met most of them. The reason the rest of them are there is because I admire them, rather than think of them as a friend. And the ones I do know are listed in the order of which I met them, to avoid confusion.

Music:

What Tool song are you?
You are Lateralus. You are unique, intelligent, and most importantly, an individual. You are probably a leader and you see and do things your own way, which is usually different from the norm. We expect big things to come from you.

You scored as Al Swearengen. You have carved out your powerbase from the mud under your feet and you'll be damned if some cocksucker is going to take it. You know how to play the fancy politician's games, but you know how to play things the frontier way too. If that means getting blood on your hands, so be it. (Al Swearengen is played by Ian McShane)
