into: The weird and the wonderful. my son, making stuff, books, geekery, theatre/vaudeville/cabaret/burlesque, dancing, roller derby, cinema, Rockabilly, Muppets, skee ball, explorin' this here world, singing my ass off in Rock Band (especially to REO Speedwagon), not tanning, baking baked goods, sideshow freaks and oddities.

not into: People who talk on their cell phones and/or groan excessively when they are taking a poo in a public restroom. Also, inconsiderate Jerky McJerkfaces.

makes me happy: Sitting in my Granny's kitchen and having a cup of Tetley tea. A good glass of malt whisky, especially from the Speyside region. The ocean. Hearing a song I was just thinking of come on the radio. My son letting out a big belly laugh.

makes me sad: When my guitar gently weeps

hobbies: Vagabonding, being socially awkward, exercising. Reading, writing, but not arithmetic.

5 things i can't live without: My heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and brain... not necessarily in that order.

thoughts on sg: I like it

i spend most of my free time: Drinking Hennessey with Morrissey, on a beach, out of reach, somewhere very far away.

stats: 5'5, 36-26-36.

body mods: Do glasses count? I have a little bit of ink, would like more. I took all the metal out of my body, so not so much of that anymore.

heroes: hoagies and grinders

gets me hot: Stylish eyeglasses (especially of the thick, vintage variety), a gent who takes control of a situation, certain types of facial hair, attention, proper grammar.

fantasy: To have someone pay my student loans off. Not joking, that would get me SO HOT.
