About Me
- About Me: if i stay there will be trouble, if i go there will be double... so you've got to let me know: should i stay or should i go?
More About Me
- Nationality: proud to be an American (which isn't quite the same thing as being proud of the current government)
- Heroes: Dagny Taggart, I suppose. And Stephen Hawking.
- Interests: writing, daydreaming, reading sci-fi and fantasy and cyberpunk and historical fiction and steampunk and latin (written by ancient Romans, that is. none of that crappy medieval latin for me)
- Expertise: writing. i like to think i'm good at latin. and i seem to be good at amusing people, though i'm not sure why. then again, as the law of symmetrical relief states: If you find that most other people, upon closer inspection, seem to be somewhat comical or ludicrous, it is highly probable that most other people find that you are in fact comical or ludicrous. So you don’t have to hide it, they already know.
