Introduction I'm a HIV/AIDS adult foster care caregiver, nursing student, and human-being-in-training currently residing in the Twin Cities. I'm young, naïve, and incredibly idealistic, and haven't yet completely become horribly bitter and/or jaded... though I do have a wicked sarcastic streak in me that isn't afraid to rear its ugly head on occasion. (Like, when I'm awake.) I prefer the company of gentlemen to that of the fairer sex. That is to say, I am a sodomite. A poofter. A nancy boy. A proud HIV-positive gay man... who's trying to live up to as much of my potential as I can, and have a kickass time doing it.

What did you dream when you ate a spider while sleeping?

I had strange visions involving a strange near-future world, with lots of waterspouts... It rained all the time, and there were flies in webs everywhere. For some reason, I cried when I woke up.
