Greetings!
Welcome to the little space I've carved out on the World Wide Web for myself. There's not a whole lot here at the moment, mostly just some stuff from former sites of mine that have long since gone defunct. In time, I'll update this site with more information about my life, my hobbies, my interests, and maybe even my writing and photography. In the meantime, here's a quick little snapshot of who this "JOhn" person is.
I am a thirty-something (knowing the details will cost ya) man living in San Diego with my same-sex domestic partner of thirteen years and our hyper-intelligent dog, Indiana. I work in the software testing field in the information technology industry. I enjoy many activities, but am most happy when I'm able to exercise my creative muscles. I write, mostly sci-fi and fantasy, I cook, I've dabbled in painting and sewing. I'm an occasional game master, most recently in GURPS, but I'm starting to get into D&D 3E. I also do a lot of doodling, what I call cartooning, but I don't share most of it. (I like what I do, and I don't mind showing it to select people, but my doodles have a habit of becoming official logos of organizations that I associate with, and I'm tired of seeing my doodles still in use ten years later.) I'm an avid sci-fi and fantasy fan, and used to really enjoy going to conventions. Then I volunteered to chair one. I'm not so thrilled about conventions any more. I don't watch much TV or movies, but what I do see is usually genre-related. I do read a lot, usually technical books, books on buddhism or cooking, and way too much sci-fi and fantasy. Well, enough rambling. Feel free to let me know if I've confused the heck out of ya... :-)
I'm also an aspiring novelist. I haven't determined what genre, if any, I will write, but it's a good chance it will be fantasy or sci-fi, since those are two genres I enjoy writing. I've also tried my hand at some contemporary stuff, with somesuccess. When I manage to some day get published, this site will probably change into my professional home on the net. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but I do intend to start making a living from my writing.
Just so that there is no confusion, this is the web site of an adult gay male and as such may include images or discussions of a frank (adult) nature. Persons under the age of majority in their area should not proceed to browse this site.
If you want to know more, perhaps you'd like to visit my LiveJournal.
Thanks for stopping by,
JOhn.
