35 and still searching for wisdom, I like cheese, science fiction books, monster movies, and being with my friends. Let's keep it abridged, shall we? Seriously, you don't want to read a Profile for twenty minute, do you? "synapticboomstick" is a long-running name that I've adopted for everything because it's always available. It began as a descriptor for my creative process, which at the time I likened to loading a shotgun: putting in each shell, then "boom". Ideas simmer in my mind for a long time as I try to figure out what to do with them, sometimes for years, before suddenly getting barfed out of my head all at once in a flurry of activity. So it's a mental shotgun: synapticboomstick.
