I am "ink stain boy," and my fingertips are silvery wet with words.
My name is Fred. I am incomprehensible.
(I refuse to elaborate on that point.)
A lifelong geek who navigated MS-DOS at age three and was first exposed to Square Enix (then Squaresoft) at age six, I have been on the web since I discovered Neopets at age ten. My greatest loves are contemporary literature and objects that please the visual cortex. In my free time, I write prose and poetry thick with bathroom symbolism, design clothes that sacrifice comfort and convenience for the sake of originality, and shriek along with German, Japanese, Korean, and English rock music. (I try.)
I have abandonment issues that are more hilarious than they are grave. I become unreasonably excited at the thought of discussing literary techniques. My fear of household insects borders on phobic. I am an escapist and an idealist.
