Profile

Who am I? I'm male, in my late 30s, tattooed, fat, starting to grey around the temples. I'm bisexual, polyamorous, probably agnostic but more likely a humanist. I feel that love is the most essential of all virtues.

I'm a writer (not my day job at the moment), occasionally of poetry and/or prose but most often at the moment a playwright, obsessed with expressing myself in the collaborative voice of a show on a stage before an audience. I'm a founding member of a theatre company I'm quite proud of. I've been heavily involved in NaNoWriMo and Script Frenzy, and I highly recommend both.

I'm a comic-book-reading, video-game-playing, action-figure-collecting, science-fiction and fantasy nerd: I'm obsessed with any number of fictional universes and fandoms, I played D&D (and Star Frontiers) and owned a VIC-20 and wrote my first webpage before there was a graphics-enabled browser anywhere on campus to let me look at the goddamn thing. My first friends had names like Heinlein and L'Engle and C.S. Lewis. I own a Godzilla costume, and I'm not afraid to use it.

I'm an open heart. I take people at their word even on the Internet, I believe that everyone should be equal and have a chance to find a beautiful life and that we have a responsibility to make that happen, I fall in love at the drop of a hat and while I do have some sense of discretion, I never apologize for the emotion. My friends are more important to me than air and I try to make sure they know this.

I'm owned by cats. I'm proudly Canadian, but I'm not giving up on the country of my birth. I'm anxious and lonely sometimes, but I'm doing better. I'm moving forward.
