hmm, let's see.. i squeak out a living in publishing (the techy end); co-host an experimental/ambient music show here on 89.3FM called "hidden forms". spent alot of money to (happily) not end up doing labwork for a living, but do miss the constant nerd-outs.

im an emo bastard and very lucky in my friends here. i have a baffling fetish for scottish accents, roman history, vintage medical and electronic equipment. i enjoy working with book publishers/editors/authors solely bc they are possibly the last ppl on earth who use fusty victorian epithets (really, someone called me a cad and a bounder at work. delightful :)

i can't really play my theremin but like to pretend its a weirding module. thanks to my friend niall, ive a constant longing for dark hopsy beers at scruffy pubs. i cant wait to be old, because i am pretty sure i'll end up a cross between father jack hackett (haha.. oh man, remember that pet brick??) and mother gaius helen mohiam. it'll be great.

rest assured, im laughing at myself for writing this much here!

i fondly dream of playing a show that ends with buckets of fake blood being poured onto me while i tear my shirt off (*insert metal roar)

i miss real mail, plain and simple.

i think i'd love to have penpals and make creative care packages. so i'd like to meet other sincere, fun people who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves. bonus points for gallows humor and appreciation for robots, travel, and the odd & easily missed details in life.
