I like to read. I like to write. I like sex. I spend way too much time staring at the night sky. And a little too much time watching baseball. Anything else you'd like to know, ask. I'm not exactly an open book, but I like to talk, and I like to listen.

I am soon to be married to the prettiest girl in the room, LaylaJune, whom I met here on Lush. I may flirt, and while I love to talk about sex, I love to talk about almost anything. Layla is a gift, a poem, and all I desire. Respect that.

I value playfulness, in sex and in writing and in life.

The avatar is me.

“A little talent is a good thing to have if you want to be a writer. But the only real requirement is the ability to remember every scar.”
