| Bio: | I do not read my "friends" page. I do not have the time to do so at internet cafés and I do not write anything in private or friends-only mode, so whether you are friended or not does not mean anything. If you feel strongly about it write me an e-mail.
Over a decade of my early life were spent on a yacht, Pampero II, during which my parents, younger brother, and I circumnavigated the world. The next ten were on land, for high schooling and university (where I spent five years and left without a degree), before finding myself back on water again on my yacht, Lilliputian Gecko, a 27ft Pacific sloop.
I'm a mad for speculative fiction, which has led me into the world of fandom in the form of attending science fiction conventions, reading and producing fanzines, and a keen interest in SF television shows and anime. My bibliophilic tendencies run from fiction to SF criticism and a thirst for reading in a wide variety of topics, most especially the sciences (social and hard) and biographies.
I can be found running around in bright colours and barefooted -- if not touring on the saddle of a bicycle inland of the coast of wherever my yacht is located. (In which case I would still be brightly coloured.) Exploring by water is not sufficient; in addition to sailing I'm a cycling enthusiast.
Work-wise I was last a cook/hostess/deckhand upon charter vessels in the Whitsunday area. Prior to that I've done various non-skilled jobs, with longer stints involving work as a cleaner and stripping in a gentleman's club. Volunteer work is not something I'm a stranger with, doing seven years at an art gallery and several with the Queensland State Emergency Service, the latter all sorts of fun and games searching for missing people.
Currently I am in Mackay, south of the Whitsundays, anchored in the Pioneer River. |
