I'm in the midst of a wonderful monogamous relationship with the woman I'd been waiting my whole life for, and I'm tremendously in love! We've been together since August of 2000.

I believe in celebrating the ways in which we are different as well as valuing what we have in common. Similarity can bring us together; diversity makes us strong. Being both alike and unalike is both beautiful and absolutely necessary.

I've got some links in my profile to things I'm into. I've made it so that clicking on them should make each open in a new window. That way, you can check them out without leaving okcupid, just in case you want to keep open the option to navigate this site. I'm hoping that will make things more convenient for you.

My lady and I have been involved in the Society for Creative Anachronism, a Medieval re-creation group, since September of '01. I do a lot of different things in the SCA, including - but not limited to - drumming for bellydancers, Western court and country dance, archery, and juggling. Where can you learn more and find your local group? Go to:

I also like motorcycle riding (when the bike is in repair), writing, running my Website (http://wayshelter.com) for which I write my own HTML code, and just generally having great times with people I enjoy and respect.

I have a YouTube channel, which you can find at http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=HikingSneakers. I've got videos of my own there, as well as playlists of videos I like that were done by others.

I've finally been able to log into my original account, under the name of Shelterkeep, thanks to the resolution of some technical difficulties. I say a little bit more about myself on that profile. If you've arrived at this profile because it was mentioned on the other one, I'm glad you've found me! I'll be continuing to use this as the main account, because this is the one I was using when I wrote my Basicanism Interest Quiz, while waiting for the other account's issues to be addressed.

...you have questions about Basicanism. You can also take my Basicanism Interest Quiz to see if learning about Basicanism is something you might want to do. Or you can go right to http://wayshelter.com/Basica.htm to start checking it out.
