| Location | Phoenix, AZ, United States |
| Introduction | I delve into as much as I possibly can all of the time. If I'm not writing, then I'm watching all kinds of stuff on TV, reading, making jewelry, watching Arsenal FC in the Barclay's Premiere League, working my fantasy football roster, or watching an NFL game, when in season. I might also scratch my ass, as needed rather than as a pastime. It's fucking hot in the summer in Phoenix AZ, so just about anything involving activity outdoors is out of the question. Beyond that, I could be out painting the doors on random people's houses red, part of a test I have regarding chaos theory, a way safer chaos construct than trying to genetically engineer some goddamn dinosaurs. |
