2nd of 4, living in IA but all roads lead to IL. A Writer. John Lennon = favorite male singer, Neko Case = favorite female singer, Queen = favorite band. Brad/Tim/Nicolas, James/Nemo, Richard/Stephen, and Andreas/G'Kar. Mentally ill (depression, bipolar II NOS, GAD, social phobia, mild Asperger's syndrome); now often physically ill (vertebral fusion/nerve pain, asthma, migraines, anemia, general blahs). Flawed but doing my very best in a flawed world. "Oh, for a license." (Plath.)
