I currently reside in Chicago but am moving to Los Angeles, CA this February. I'm interested in meeting people from L.A. I'm a published author & copy writer, work from home, have a great dog, drink beer, smoke cigarettes (but am quitting soon), like metal and clic rock best, and am a hardcore geek (sci-fi, comics, tabletop gaming) I promise to try and respond to every message I get, but may not be able to keep up with nudges. I am looking to date but if you just want to chat back and forth as pen-pals, I'm cool with that too. Also, I have a pierced nose and 2 big tattoos, not everyone's cup of tea, and that's cool.
