Gemini

I am an avid Bicycle Commuter, academic Library Circulation Collections Coordinator (I manage the stacks), happily married, and a story addict, no matter what the medium.
I use solar charged batteries for smaller appliances and try to recycle and use sustainable energy whenever possible.
Artist, writer, animator hobbyist as I've never been motivated or ambitious enough to be successful at these even though I have decent training in all of them.

So a job where I have access to information and can have enough time to work on my own stuff for pleasure has worked out into a nice balance.

Happily married to fritter1

Love films: classic, arty, foreign, indie and good ole horror.

Reading is a serious addiction of mine. No, seriously, it's a real problem. Working in a library helps some, but not totally.

More into visuals than sound, but enjoy both, and definitely enjoy creating visuals more. Love animation, cartoons, comicbooks, mystery and horror novels, as well as the classics.

Enjoy hearing about philosophy more than debating about it.

like well done poetry.

Also, I am a classification junkie.

Open-minded creative people, who are more into creating and promotion over being hip and scenesters.People who are still struggling or people who have figured out how to stop struggling with reconciling ideals with everyday mundane realities.
