I genuinely like people and I love life. That means I laugh big and have moments of comic genius. I collected coins and baseball cards when I was a kid, and played a lot of video games. I like the fact that I was the 7th grade chess champion of my Jr. high; though I've fallen out of practice, I still love the game. Philosophy, art, nature, refinement, friendship and reciprocity are all deeply important to me. I lived in Europe for a while, during which I easily picked up Italian because it was so similar to Spanish. My italiano's also atrophied, but a trip back should fix that.I read a lot (currently The Selfish Gene, Hannibal, and The Metaphysical Poets). I also like abstract art, Norman Rockwell illustrations, and Helmut Newton's photography. I have a pet sea snail named Houdini, though I'm better known for my Star Wars writing.It's true that I try to save the world in my spare time.
