bruce s's Blurb
About Me:
I am an unabashed snob with a truckload of guilty pleasures. You'd be just as likely to find me reading Barthes, drinking Laphroaig, and listening to Eno on the porch in a lightning storm as reading the newest Terry Pratchett, drinking a PBR and nodding along to Guns n' Roses in the bathtub. I also like to write. I'm a deconstructionist at heart, and I can be wordy. If anything I ever write seems confusing, confused, or just plain wrong, send me a note. I'd be happy to explain myself.
Who I'd Like To Meet:
You... preferably at a local bar, over a couple of pints.
