Introductions suck
Ladies and Gentlemen,

My name's unimportant but you're allowed to call me anything you wish as long as it's honourable of a man. Booker will do. Boo too.


There's nothing much to say about meself except that I cry in sad pictures and walk hand in hand with my love.


Most of the time I'm lonely (except when I'm not) and lose my mind looking for redemption in unsuccessful writing. I love writing.

Being a naïve and gullible bloke I've come in hope to learn from those who know. I am aware I can't take more than I can give.

I'm looking forward to making friends.

Such an unexpected collective response to my poor introduction makes me think that the writers can change this wicked world for better.
