Kind of, sort of, but not really new
What's up Party People? Kevin and Bean here... oh wait no, I'm neither Kevin nor Bean. Cancel that. (The Los Angelinos here will appreciate that I hope).
So, I'm not exactly new to bdsmlibrary. I was around and lurking the forums before it was sold (holy crap I'm old school), but never really posted. Now I'm posting, probably to make up for my lack of any real social life (we'll get to why in a minute) lately, and in the interest of finding like-minded people to chat with. Like-minded kinky people, obviously.
Ooof, a little bit about me. Cool facts, I'm a musician, professionally. I play classical guitar. I tell everybody I suck at it, the truth is that I'm awesome... I mean, I'm good enough to live off of it, so apparently I must be doing something right. Before switching to music full time I did various things, I've lived off of gambling -- I spent 3 years touring Europe, Asia, and Australia based off of money I made playing poker.
I lived in Hawaii for 5 or 6 months. In a cave. It was stupendously awesome. I use to not tell anybody about this, then I realized that it's actually as cool as it was, so now I tell everybody. You should probably ask me about the cave, because it really was probably the coolest thing I'll ever do.
I've also lived in Alaska. Talk about your complete extreme opposites. What did I do in Alaska? I was a bush guide. You could say I was paid to be homeless in one of the world's harshest environments. This was only mildly less cool than the cave, and you may ask me about it.
I hardly ever drink, at most a couple of beers. I never get drunk. When I do get drunk I tend to do things like balance candles on my head, climb the Anaheim 'A' (outside Angel stadium, if you watch baseball), and fall into bushes.
I can juggle bowling pins while riding a unicycle, blindfolded (really). I can contact juggle also, and did that as a performing artist in highschool. I've also done stand-up comedy as a paid gig
I recently moved to Houston. Not because Houston is awesome, but because I am awesome, and I thought I needed to spread that around the country a little bit. LA was starting to drown in my awesomeness.
Despite my apparent huge ego, I'm actually rather self-deprecating in my vanilla life. I keep expectations low so that I blow people away when they finally see my true form. If I say I'm not very good at something, I'm probably very good at it. Otherwise I admit I'm really bad at it.
I'm really looking forward to getting to know some of you guys (I use the term androgynously). Especially if you're in the Houston area... send me a PM, I want to meet people I can be open with here. I'm pretty laid back and easy to get along with (total "La la I grew up on the beach and lived in a cave" attitude). I recently found out about the munch this weekend, and I'm anxiously looking forward to it... and holy crap the rest of the week has dragged because of it.
