Craziest Thing I've Ever Done:
I think the only crazy thing I really ever do is continue to fall in love.
If I Could Be Anywhere Right Now:
I'd be at a lake cabin on a fall day that starts warm and gets cool after dark, sitting in an Adirondack chair with a glass of red wine, looking at the lake, with an English golden retriever by my side. After a day to myself, my lover would show up with groceries, and we'd make dinner, and then devote ourselves to a night of Scrabble and hearty lovemaking.
Hobbies:
Collecting dead things; scraps of fur, bones, teeth, etc, and collecting Last Supper paintings.
Talents:
I'm a writer, artist and musician, my greatest gift lies in my singing voice, I suppose. I front an alt-country noise band.
Perfect Mate:
Between 5'11' and 6'3', thick, hairy, with a southern accent, dark, shaggy hair and dark eyes. An intelligent, artistic musician who does manly things and is good to me, but throws me around in bed.
Perfect Date:
A walk through an old Southern or country cemetery. A nice bottle of wine on a back porch. A great conversation. One or all three.
Turn Ons/Offs:
I am submissive in bed, but there's a difference between being dominant and being a total fucking asshole. Making demands of me when you haven't earned the right is not sexy.
Best Reason to Get to Know Me:
I am intense and difficult to know, but those who have been my friends for a decade, two decades, even nearly three decades, know I'm worth the trouble.
