: About Me

I am originally from England, and I live in New York City. I drink a lot of tea - it's tradition or something.

I am twenty-nine years old, a student of English and Philosophy, and I play an awful lot of video games. I enjoy complaining about pretty much everything, using long words in everyday conversation and painting my nails.

I have a wife who is more awesome than I am, a twin brother who says "dude" more than he should, and a female dog named Elliot.

At some point, I really would like to publish a novel. I have written one complete book to date, a positive slew of short stories, scripts, rants and essays, and am currently working on a novel that is much more complicated than I originally thought.

My passion is ...

correcting people who say "herbs" without pronouncing the H.

I know too much about ...

My parents always told me ...

that I was the mailman's kid and so should be grateful they even kept me around.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be Clark Kent. Not Superman, mind you, but Clark. Didn't quite grasp the idea of aiming high when I was a child.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I watch the world around me. Occasionally it can be rather amusing.

My best moment ...

won't return my calls. It thinks I have something going on with my second best moment.

My inspiration ...

comes from that place between asleep and awake.

Now, I appreciate graphics as much as the next gamer. I truly adore my Xbox 360, and have had many an occasion to sit back during a session and admire the beautiful graphics presented by some games. Take Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion after completing the initial training level (a short ...
