To my sekrit Santa - books are good. Hot Cocoa is good too, but I keep kosher. I like Pratchett, though I already own Mort, Eric, Moving Pictures, and Men at Arms. I also like Sandman trade paperbacks, of which I own none. Neal Stephenson is another favorite, and I already have Cryptonomicon, Quicksilver and Snow Crash. I think that's enough to choose from. Also, have just moved into new place. Any housewarming type gifts would be splendiferous! Or, if you want to feed my inner geek, I have a major wishlist at thinkgeek.com.

Profession: practicing poet.

So far I have posted 3 original works of poetry to e2. They are

• Shoplifters
• Blackberry-picking
• a heart as black as coal

This is a list of e2 users who I like (read: they upvoted my nodes, and/or had nice constructive criticism, and/or just had nice things to say). You should visit their homenodes.

• wertperch
• BuffcorePhil
• tandex
• bane221
• isogolem
• momomom
• OldMiner
• Inflatable_Monk
• drownzsurf
• Orpheum

Some random bits of funniness:

A Buddhist, a Moslem, a Nun, and a Jew
Were stuck in a hot air balloon
It suddenly popped
Though they prayed as it dropped
It proves that God hates us all

A grand adventure and quest has been declared! e2film is creating a list of the movies that must be watched (IONSHO)^*. I have appointed myself the unofficial collater of this list, and so here it is!
