The following is your obligatory "what's he into, so I know if we're a good fit" favorites rundown, prefaced by the following:

I'm Gen-X, a bookworm, a writer, an editor, and an actor (mostly stage, some film). I look a lot younger than I actually am; the result of eating (mostly) well, having a skincare routine, not smoking, drinking only on occasion, and staying out of the direct rays of the sun.

I'm low drama, low maintenance, and all-welcoming, but I take no sh*t and fiercely defend my friends/family online and off. I hate bullies, so if you are one, stay the f*ck out of my line of sight.

I will go to bat for a total stranger if they're suffering a bully. And the bat I use is of the Lucille variety. IYKYK.
