BioUmm... is this thing on? Tap tap. Hullo .....
John. Patrick. James. Michael. Hughes. Don't ask. Oztralian, fifth generation descendant of an transported horse thief out of County Lough. Social sciences editor at the Australian National University (Aboriginal policy think tank): failed anthropologist (new religious movements, cognitive processes), lapsed public servant (Indigenous issues, Hansard, magazine editor), indifferent writer and artist. Moderately successful life partner, uncle and resting place for cat.
Strong interests in mythology, the anthropology of religion, mythopoetics, world design, ancient history, poetry, ghost stories and cognitive science. Roleplaying author, game writer and illustrator, retired convention organiser, 3D artist, web fiend, progressive socialist, mythopoetic humanist, cognitive anarchist, reknowned duck lover.
Hater of all things Trek. And fifth season Babylon 5. (Not so sure about the third LoTR either.) Into Asian cinema and things Nippon/Korean in a big way, but low tolerance for hyperactive anime pubescents with screechy voices and big eyes. You know the ones.
As an Aquarian, I don't believe in astrology.
I love kim chi and chai, though not at the same time.
I can't buy black velvet pixie boots anymore.
My better half is Pippin, whose secret name is Princess Googy Two Shoes.
My own secret name is Princess Sparkledemon. (Drop that on the lists and I swear I'll kill someone).
I have my blood removed every few months to improve my bounces. I regularly walk the black dog, but on a short leash with frequent rest stops. My secret ability is to go to sleep almost anywhere.
If you're looking for the blonde, tanned, omnisexual skydiving playboy John Hughes who is interested in flexible submissives with a tolerance for bondage involving duck fetishes, lemon gelato and the aural accompaniment of Bert and Ernie, Donovan and Air Supply, that's my **other** account.
