So what do you need to know?

To the naked eye I conform to the social norms, well sorta, but in my head...I'm a rebel.

I walk with a cane but don't be fooled 'cause inside me is a kick-ass deamon hunter and if I stand on my little box I can even get into bed all by myself.

I love complex, sweet, well-crafted, sensual, funny, scary stories and I aspire, one day, to write them. Until then I write anyway because it makes me happy.

I love my family like I love to breathe.

I find myself occasionally wondering if two tattoos is enough for someone as ancient as I.

I take happiness wherever I find it because no eulogy I have ever heard mentioned dying of too much happiness.

I hold my true friends close.

I have met Death and he's a poppet.

I smile when people tut at the myriad sliver skulls I wear

I have seen enough of life to know it is wonderful

There, now you will know me if we meet.
