ABOUT ME. I'm 5'6, brown hair, brown eyes, and slightly chubby of belly. I'm an INFP Slytherin. My birthday is November 22 (I actually turn 47 next month). I have three tattoos, two of them are Grateful Dead images (the Dead are my religion). I'm an extremely introverted hermit whose outlook borders on misanthropy. For the most part, I don't really like other people. I vastly prefer animals. And of animals, I vastly prefer cats. My cat Archie died a few months ago and it was a terrible loss for me. I suppose when I'm done mourning him I will get another cat. I'm an Anglophile, a pluviophile, and a lover of grey, gloomy weather. The sun is my enemy. I work in the writing/publishing industry, and my job is 100% remote. I'm non-religious (atheist), left leaning bordering on socialist (pro-Harris, pro-choice, anti-gun), and yet utterly apolitical (most Deadheads are). I'm horrifically profane and I don't have much use for social restrictions. I am very well-read. I love history (I have a BA in it) and documentaries (historical, science, true crime) and comedy (Louis CK, Jim Jefferies, Ricky Gervais, Dave Chappelle) and Xbox (Prey, Portal, QUBE, Talos Principle, Little Nightmares) and binging shows (British crime, horror, drama) and books (Stephen King, Ken Follett, George RR. Martin, JK Rowling) and old movies from the 40s and Harry Potter and Star Wars and LOTR and traveling and being a homebody/hermit. I LOVE going to restaurants. I play guitar and piano and used to be in bands, 25 years ago. I love grocery stores and get absolutely giddy in them. I love to cook and I love women who love to cook. I'm at home 90% of the time and I'm just fine with that. I live a very quiet, settled, boringly predictable life, and again, I'm just fine with that. I sowed all my oats as a young man and now I'm ready for domestic peace and relaxation. Some ancient Greek playwright said the good and wise lead quiet lives and the man was spot on. I'd rather have a book and roaring flames in the fireplace than all the diversions of Babylon.
