addme | Greetings Earthlings

My name is Mike, I'm a 48-year-old science-fiction fan from the wilds of Wolverhampton. Metalhead, bookworm, pagan, goth, geek; my blog is going to feature my daily ramblings, as well as new music and books I discover, and the trials and tribulations of fatherhood, divorce, my fight with mental illness and (re)discovering my sexuality.

I can’t live without music and love a wide range of genres, although symphonic metal is probably my favourite. I’m a Sagittarius. I collect model rockets. I'm in Ravenclaw. I love video games, particularly classic platformers. I love horror movies, especially the vampire and slasher variety. My favorite food is grilled cheese sandwiches. I drink gratuitous amounts of really strong coffee. I'd like more tattoos. I'm a hardcore procrastinator and I hate it. I enjoy painting. I'm a pessimist, and a grumpy little storm cloud… but I’m trying to be better. I am mesmerized by the cosmos and spellbound by violin songs. I'm actually really friendly despite having 24/7 resting bitch face. I like to blog sometimes.

I'm a metalhead goth pagan bookworm also!

Though to warn you, my journal is heavy on the depressed ramblings but a lot of the entries are public.

I'm working through my own depression so I'm sure my postings also read as similar.

Hey, Mike. Lot of common interests, including a bit of finding oneself - or being honest about oneself (in my case) in mid-life.

aye, and you've got a few listed that I like that it didn't occur to me to list and all

Pagan, Metalhead, bookworm, geek, Ravenclaw and a Sagittarius! Same here!
Can I add you?

You can indeed!

Yay!

You sound interesting. I'm a 57 year old divorced librarian in New York City, also a science fiction and fantasy fan. I have two cats and a turtle, and a married daughter. I'm going to add you, hope you add me back.
