My Notes edit

My self-summary

I'm a single dad juggling full time work with raising two girls. That's important as it dictates a lot of my time, but I should make clear I'm not looking for a mother to the kids.

I've been writing as long as I remember. Mostly high fantasy stuff, but I've been moving towards urban fantasy and children's stories. Of course I read as much as I can as well. Victorian era novels are a favourite as well things like Neil Gaiman. And The Last Unicorn is one of the best stories about stories ever told.

I've got a big inner geek but don't worry, I work well in social situations too. I can be sarcastic and I think quick witted, but not unkind. I prefer smaller groups to large crowds generally - never been one for the bar scene, I like to be able to converse.

I like to get out and try to be generous. I have a wide range of tastes and I'm pretty open to new things. My iPod will atest to that.

What I'm doing with my life

My life is balanced between work and raising my kids. In between I try to find time for my own pursuits. Lately I've been cultivating a book collection - leatherbound or over sized hard covers of classic novels, prose and poetry. I fully intend to read them all!

I'm continually trying to learn more things - whether a new subject or deeping my current knowledge. I fear the day I stop learning.

I'm really good at

Acting, analyzing, joking around, appreciating the small things, remembering to say thanks. I'm decent at cooking, pretty good at baking. I also do a pretty good mock-Elizabethan when the wooing moment strikes.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me

I look taller on TV.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Any Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman. Any other Neil Gaiman. Jules Verne. H. G. Wells. A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens.

May. If you can't find friends, make them. Kissed - the ultimate fumble towards ecstasy. I <3 Huckabees - Everything is connected and none of it matters.

Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, and Nick Cave are my holy trinity. On the other end of the spectrum Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, there's some K. D. Lang that I really love.

The six things I could never do without

My kids, music, pen and paper, the ocean.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Why people do the things they do.

How to actually accomplish the things I want to do.

How many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll centre of the tootsie pop.

On a typical Friday night I am

Relaxing with the kids and preparing for the weekend.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here

I tend to open up slowly, but once I do I tend to open fully.

I'm also learning to accept kink as part of who I am. I had a couple relationships where I tried to downplay it and it was only afterwards that I realized I wasn't done exploring new things yet.

You should message me if

You know how to relax and have a good time. You've got a good amount of self-confidence and a solid sense of humour. Kids don't scare you and you're not afraid of the future.

I'm not looking for a mother for the kids. What I'm looking for is someone for me to spend time with.
