How shall I begin? Guess I'll introduce myself to start:

I'm a geek, but you probably couldn't tell by looking at me. I look more like a football player, although I have no interest in sports. I love imaginative tabletop RPGs, and have run quite a few of them. As a bibliophile with a good memory, there are thousands of books in my head. I love to read aloud to my son. All my life I've been collecting treasures: snatches of poetry, wonderful books, music, great movies and TV shows, secret and beautiful places to walk.

I love to laugh, cook, dream, and read. I walk by rivers and streams when I can; water fascinates me. I'm a cat person. An omnivore, but a picky one. Kids smile at me, and I smile back. Occasionally I write a bit of poetry or a story. I make up silly songs on the fly to sing to my cat to tease him. Fortunately he doesn't understand.

Politically I'm an environmentalist, leftist, and anticapitalist but I'm not doctrinaire about it. As the full-time single father of a newly-adult son (I've been divorced for seven years), the future of the Earth is deeply important to me. I'm an atheist, but not the aggressive kind. Outreach and understanding is more my style rather than confrontation.

I don't smoke or drink; I have nothing against alcohol, but I don't like the taste of it. I've been told by many people that I'm remarkably kind. Those people must have somehow missed my dark, occasionally twisted sense of humor.

Born a redhead but bald for many years now; my beard has mostly turned white, but my mustache and eyebrows are red. I keep them all neat and relatively short. Still a bit chunky but working on it. I've been called cute.

Lastly, it seems that I'm demisexual. Which is why I'm looking for friends, or A friend - with, perhaps, the possibility for something more down the road, if Fate decrees? At this point I'm hoping to find a geeky woman to laugh, take walks, go to fun places, and share ideas with. And if we happen to be able to write things together - fiction, poetry, or game scenarios - I'm dying to meet you!

Oh, I almost forgot: I'm in southeastern Massachusetts, closer to Providence than Boston. Please live in the general area.
