**I live in Victoria at the moment but am moving to Calgary at the end of the month.

I'm pretty damn nerdy (in a cool way) with a driving passion for a variety of things. I am also a mess of contradictions, mixing the high and the low, the dark and the sublime in almost all aspects of my life. I consult with media outlets on matters of historical accuracy in their projects and write journalism, stories (long and short) and comic books.

Reading, writing, studying, thinking, trying to understand and experience as much as possible.

Writing, music, acting, listening, giving relaxing massages.

My height and odd sense of style.

My work. My friends. Cool things I'm reading/watching.

At a movie or writing.

I liked the film version of AMERICAN PSYCHO. I thought it was funnier and smarter than the honestly terrible book, didn't have nearly as much mindless violence and carried over themes such as the fine-line between arrogant alpha male and sociopath much more sharply.
