Yes, and still am of his work. I have "This Is It" cued up to to watch, and I almost drove to another city to see it on the big screen.

Why are you so far up your own arse?
I am self employed without additional staff therefore I am my own manager, booking and press agent among other things; I guess that could look a bit like anal play from afar...

Who's the coolest person you know?
Well, I'm about to go camping with a whole bunch of cool people. Cool-est would really depend on your definition of cool, and then I'd want categories.
Would you rather be rich or famous?
Whichever one would allow me to do the most good and make the biggest difference.

What's your favorite genre of books to read? Last book you've read?
For entertainment lately I'm really into the fun/fantasy books like the Dresden Files and the Diskworld Series. Most recently for fun I read Anne Rice's "Merrick" (first time I'd read Rice in almost a decade.) Currently, I'm reading "Jaguar Woman" by Lynn V. Andrews and have been referencing "True Magick" by Amber K for a project I'm working on.
At night do you change into a wolf?
In fact, I do not. I actually don't identify specifically with the wolf as an animal, it was my parent's name. The animal I identify with the most is a shepherd dog, specifically the Bergamasco. However, sometimes at night I do turn into a ferocious beast...

If you could be any mythological creature what would it be?
Probably a Sidhe, though I don't know as much about them as some other kinds of mythological beasts such as dragons, a variety of fae, the creatures of ancient Greece... So, well... I'll go with Dryad without further research into the Sidhe. I know that being a Dryad would mean giving up certain freedoms, but the idea of literally feeling my roots in the ground and that intimate of a connection with the Earth is very appealing.
Are you more of a talker or more of a listener?
This greatly depends on the situation. I can certainly talk and have a tendency to extrapolate and over-explain at times, but I can certainly listen. When listening, I go out of my way to make sure that I understand particularly when it's a conversation or debate. If I had to pick one I'd have to go with "talker" since that is what happens most frequently, as people tend to ask me a lot of questions.

Have you ever entered a serious relationship with someone solely on the grounds of shared tastes, then regretted it?
Sadly, yes I have had relationships such as that but I can't say that completely regret any of them- you can always learn from experience if you let yourself. Sometimes having one or many shared tastes or mutual interests isn't enough. When I was a teenager I had one or two relationships start based on the fact that we liked cloves and one started over a Batmobile-like remote controlled car. As an adult I made the mistake of entering into a few relationships because the other party shared and/or was interested enough in my tastes that we misinterpreted the chance to teach/mentor for a chance to date. In most cases the friendship lasted after the dating ended, but it was a hard lesson to learn. I have learned that lesson, and recently learned that you can have a really good time time with people who have shared tastes, and that it's ok not to turn really good times into a relationship that isn't meant to be.
Do you think black or purple gloves are sexier for the purpose of play piercing?
Nice Question! For me, it depends- though black does go with just about anything. I've never seen black not look good, though for blood fetishists, it doesn't show blood at all. On purple, it's almost brighter than on clear. If I'm playing with someone that wants to lick their blood off my fingers, then purple. If I'm bottoming, then I do have a preference that leans towards black- I think I can blame my tattoo-gun making crrreature for that.

What was your favorite birthday gift?
I've had some pretty great ones over the years, yet I am having trouble not letting the bouncy castle and cotton candy of wonder that my BBrother got me for this year's 30th not completely overshadow everything else. Since my party venue got canceled several times, we made it an extra special surprise and booked both on the Saturday night of Spring Pandemonium, the local BDSM/Leather/Fetish convention. I got to wrestle cheerleaders, watch community elders eat cotton candy, throw myself down the slide and be bounced by others playing in the castle. Such a delightful time, such a memorable birthday present.
What's the best place near you to get a drink?
I usually head over to Retro's- it's a bit of a drive, but there's free Wi-Fi, and I know the owner and the DJs. Very good prices and decent food too. Karaoke most nights makes for the perfect distraction when I work.
What was the best concert you went to?
I've been to several really good shows- but hands down the best experience has got to be my first. Nine Inch Nails with A Perfect Circle. My lover and his best friend (who was also one of my closest friends and who would become my lover about a year later) drove out to Phoenix, listening to ever album that NIN had released, and it was easily 90 degrees when we got there around midnight. We waited in line at the general admission gate for about eight hours and rushed in to find ourselves with some very good seats. The music was overwhelming in all the right ways. Tears fell where I had never seen them before and it was truly incredible. Every member of both bands seemed passionate and in the moment and the music was right on. We were flying off the energy for hours. U2, Marilyn Manson, Jane's Addiction (with NIN 10 years later) and Radiohead were also pretty darn wonderful.
