This was going to go on the bottom of my last email, but it got a
little too big and grew into a post of its own. So about me then... 

I live on the south
side of Chicago if anyone around me wants another sentient simian to
play with.

My favorite color is iridescent (or and dark color from the spectrum of green to purple, if you want a traditional color). Aside from games, I like rubber
stamps, and learning everything that has even a remote connection to
game design/publishing, from set theory to typography to the effect and
expectations of media of all forms. I like cats but have a mild
allergy. My drugs of choice are caffeine and ritalin
(just because I need it doesn't mean I can't enjoy it). I really like
to cook, and I've become fairly good at making reasonably cheap food
for a party of gamers (really big stir fry's, italian beef, curry, spaghetti... pretty much anything Italian or Oriental) the hardest part is guessing how many unexpected to expect. I really need to work on making pop-tarts from scratch so I can experiment on my brothers and their friends on whether fluffernutter pop tarts work (I don't like fluffernutter personally, but they do enjoy sandwiches of the stuff).

Speaking of potheads, I believe in legalization, though I won't participate... And shitty
weed gives me headaches, not as bad as those described on the perfume
allergy card, but bad enough to make me unsocial [and being social is
the only reason I'd subject myself to the secondhand smoke in the first
place] So if you have to smoke, pick up some quality stuff, not only
for your sake, but for those around you. The biggest problem with stoners I have is socio-economic however, as they had a tendency to get the munchies and eat everything in the house (with me being of limited means, and my brothers not contributing, this became a very big issue). Besides, if it were legal, I could say "get out of the house, go to a cafe, and get the munchies there where you won't eat all my damned food".

I know there are perfectly functioning stoners out there, but a small band of potheads has set a very bad example for my opinion of the group as a whole. I still think prohibition is stupid though. I taught basic computer skills to ex-cons, and for the most part, the drug war or the gang violence it caused were the reasons their lives were ruined. And to argue by anectote, which I shouldn't be doing, I've never heard of someone coming home stoned and beating their wife...

So umm... that's a really long rant about me that says nothing for my interest in games (specific games)... (which should be a rant twice as long)
