into: poetry, art, lit, photography, films, erotica, bondage, sex history, zombie movies (and horror in general), industrial, goth, some punk, anything "experimental," anything most people might call "depressing" and/or "morbid," lyrical brutality and that kind of honesty that cares nothing for its reception, eccentricity and downright perversity, splatterpunk, the self-conscious acceptance of our creatureliness, sex/sexuality/gender, disregard, the relentless manifestation of self, dive bars, nudes of people who aren't models...oh, and i forgot the thing i like the most: sex.

not into: republicans, capitalism, christianity, any stricture placed upon the 1st Amendment

makes me happy: the fog rolling up over SF, the Berkeley hills, good sex, a well-crafted phrase, that one cigarette in every pack that makes you want to keep smoking, wine, poetry, attention to language, critiquing everything i encounter, an endlessly open mind

makes me sad: ignorance, current american politics, any refusal to offer the world a moment of undogmatic attention

hobbies: writing poetry/fiction/erotica/literary criticism/book reviews, visual art (especially found-object constructions), dead baby jokes (yes, i still love them), the examined life

5 things i can't live without: a notepad and pen when i'm out, a functional computer when i'm in, poetry, my body, sky

vices: booze, cigarettes, coffee, fetish photography, sex, chocolate milk, alone-time

stats: 6 foot and not-enough-by-societal-standards pounds

body mods: barbells through nipples, plugs in ears

heroes: are unreliable

gets me hot: skin, hair, eyes, fishnets, corsets, thigh high stockings and garter belts, catholic school girl outfits, the living dead girls, black and white nudes

favorite position: speaker of the house

fantasy: i want to own a cabaret/strip club/poetry performance center

sign: s mislead

most humbling moment: every time someone has told me they love me
