Fat and sarcastic, but age sees the former diminishing while the latter increases. Know-it-all polymath equally obsessed with art, science, and history/politics. Animal and plant lover. Hoarder of a few specific things that make me happy, like hand thrown pottery and aquarium ornaments made in occupied Japan. OK, a few weirdly specific things. Writer, artist, and a dilettante in many, many other fields of interest. Can be annoyingly enthusiastic about some things and just as annoyingly dismissive of things I believe are a waste of time. Unless it's a thing that's important to people I love; then I'm all over it. Experienced editor and fact checker. I use the word "ironic" correctly and sometimes use the word "literally" ironically
