I'm rather new here; my therapist suggested that I might be demi a couple of months ago, and I've been trying to take it all in. It makes sense; it explains a lot about my life. But I can't help but wish that I'd found out sooner.

All my life I've been collecting treasures; snatches of poetry, wonderful books, music, great movies and TV shows, secret and beautiful places. I'd love to find someone to share those treasures with, and to share their treasures with me in return.

I'm a geek, but you probably couldn't tell by looking at me. I love imaginative tabletop RPGs, and have run quite a few of them. I'm a bibliophile with a good memory; there are thousands of books in my head. I love to read aloud to my son.

I'm an atheist, but not the aggressive kind. Outreach and understanding is more my style rather than confrontation. Politically I'm very much a leftist and environmentalist, but I'm not doctrinaire about it. As the full-time single father of an older teen, the future of the Earth is deeply important to me.

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; maybe that's why I'm not into dogs. I'm an omnivore, but a picky one. Kids smile at me, and I smile back. Occasionally I write a bit of poetry or a story. Sports bore me.

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 sense of humor.

Born a redhead but bald now, still a bit chunky but working on it. I've been called cute. And I'm self-aware enough to feel uncomfortable that I've been talking about myself so much here.
