After spending four years living in California, I decided to move back to the Midwest last year (I'm originally from Ohio and went to school in Chicago).

I'm in a committed relationship, and while we're explicitly non-monogamous and free to date other people casually, you should know that I'm not looking for anything "serious" or long-term at this time. But if you're looking for a friendly coffee date or a new pub trivia teammate, I'm your guy.

Overall, I'm a fun, friendly, geeky guy who's good at getting along with just about anybody. And as it says above, I'm openly, comfortably bisexual (although I prefer the term queer). To me, it's a really unimportant part of who I am, so if sexual orientation is the kind of thing that you tend to fixate on, or at least define people by, then no offense, but maybe we aren't the greatest match.

I'm kind of in the process of figuring that out all over again. I worked in network television back when I was in LA, but got a little burned out on show business. I'm a published novelist, and I do a lot of writing in general, everything from screenplays to magazine articles to blog posts. Right now, I'm working from home as a freelance writer, ghostwriter, and script doctor, as well as doing the occasional production gig here in Louisville. Gotta put that film degree to good use.

It feels a tad arrogant to list things that I claim to be really good at, so let's just say I Enjoy: Writing, Cooking, Logic Puzzles, Putt-Putt Golf, Ice Hockey, Poker, Playing Guitar, Playing Piano, Telling Bad Jokes, Video Games (Mass Effect, Portal, Minecraft), Board/Party Games (The Resistance, Avalon, Carcasonne, Subjective Guess Who), Arguments, Roadtrips, Sleeping

...fine. I'm REALLY good at Subjective Guess Who.

I've been told by more than one person that I have "little boy eyelashes," although I'm not entirely sure what this means.

Life. Death. Beer. Sex. Politics. Physics. What to put in this box.

Out catching a show/playing pinball at Zanzabar.

I have two little toy dinosaurs on my desk that I've had since I was a toddler. One is an allosaurus, the other is a triceratops. Hence, "allotrike."

You're happily weird, you don't take yourself too seriously, and you're capable of making me smile/laugh/think. I'll try and return the favor.
