Profile

The writing half of the team behind the webcomic Two Lumps (with flemco). I also write short fiction in both horror and humor. I guess I like seeing both sides of everything. ;)

"Massive delusions? Very probably... I am now surrounded by hypocrites, liars, drunks, clowns, fools, sycophants and the desperate... Stricken with grief, I have no choice but to turn to lethal toxins."

The Romantic (the Four)
Romantics have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.

How to Get Along with Me

• Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me.
  
• Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
  
• Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
  
• Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.
  
• Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!
