"Your life, from Canada to Korea, has been an enthralling spectacle to watch. " -- karamazov
DON'T BE SHY. ADD ME TO YOUR FRIENDS LIST. DON'T ASK. JUST DO IT.
I check who adds/drops me every week or so and add back everyone who adds me, even if you're male. Sure I might be a bit quicker on the Add function if you're female. I'm very lonely. I don't filter my friends list. I try to read everyone. Yes all 400 people. I'm very lonely and I have a lot of time to read journals. I'm thankful all 400+ people don't update every day. I tend to enjoy most users who complain about things a lot (no seriously, those are the best journals... people who use their LJ to unload their spleen I love ... who wants to read a nice spick 'n' span journal? "I saw the prettiest flower today!")
* * *
I'm a writer, ex-pat Canadian (I lived for four years in the Seattle-area as an eh-merican and now I live in Seoul as a han-adian/한-아디안), sushi lover, symphony lover, and generally the nicest man in the world (I have witnesses).
I believe Disney World is the happiest place on earth. I love subways. I hate driving.
I'm 5'7". I think I write tall, however.
Favorite Co-worker Quote: "Dude, your subwoofer is harshing my mellow."
Favorite Friend Quote: "The world always seems so much better after a two-hour nap and a plate full of butter tarts."

I'm not the worst looking human in the world. Except when I smile. I have a bad smile.
