I'll do this!
1. I am Sana Chan, or "That little red haired girl" who is a freelance erotica writer.
2. I live in Tennessee, three different cities since the 2nd grade.
3. I am a 23 yr old virgin (and boy do I lack experience)
4. I have a very well known fetish for all things purple and all men asian.
5. I just graduated with my B.S. in Psychology.
6. I've never done drugs and only drink Peppermint Schnapps (or does that count as crack?)
7. I have hypoglycemic problems that force me to eat every few hours to maintain body heat and concious thought.
8. I have a cat that lives with a friend right now, but she knows when I'm talking to her online.
9. I've been into gay erotica since before I was legal, a yaoi-fan for life!
10. I think Prince is the God of Music.
Hope yall like it!
Well, let's see ... some of you who have been around a bit know some of this, but not a whole lotta new things have really happened lately so here goes.
1. I own and operate Erotic by Design, www.gaydicks4you.com and www.lesbianporn4free.com and another 15 or so domains that are waiting for me to settle down and assemble them. Plus I run a large poetry and literature site for lesbian women (mainstream).
2. I'm over 50, a practicing Pagan, and have job resumes that would satisfy both the food service and photography career tracks. Was involved with restaurants, food service management, nursing home dietary management and hospital dietary dept. supervision for over 30 years. Along with doing that I managed to run my own photography studio for nearly 16 years, and in my heydey was considered one of the top 4 studios in northeastern Ohio.
3. Started web stuff around 14 years ago. Managed to get my A+ Tech Certification back in 1995.... (which is now sorely outdated of course). Can build and maintain my own computers. Got into porn due to needing a job from home as a result of chronic pain from a car accident combined with an aorta bypass a year after that. I'm a moderator here, and also for a mainstream lesbian board.
4. Had my first sex with a woman when I turned 18 at a girl scout camp in Maine, but didn't "come out" until I was 32.
5. Most women I've made love to at one time: 5 ... and no, I wasn't drunk.
6. Only been drunk one time in my life, and of course the next morning hangover was accompanied by a mandatory inventory of the convenience store where I was working at the time. Gawd I was in misery. Try counting every little thing down to even the penny bubblegum with a hangover sometime.
7. I'm currently working closely with Buck Angel to develop a series of sites for marketing purposes as well as helping to develop the backbone of his affiliate program. Have no clue what my official "title" is ... kinda jane of all trades at moment!
8. I don't have 2 legged kids - mine are all 4 legged or winged. Current head count: 3 doxies, 6 cats (anyone want 2 kittens?), 2 Cockatiels and a parakeet.
9. I'm happily joined to my partner Che'. Don't know where I'd be without her by my side. Seven years and counting.
10. My top favorite place to eat: Tony Roma's - for their melt in your mouth honey bbq'd baby back ribs, baked potato and corn on the cob, and the onion loaf.
11. My hobbies when I can do them: Gardening, fixing stuff around the house (I'm a tool belt packin' dyke), reading, writing, cooking, and most arts/crafts stuff, especially wheel thrown pottery. Oh, and bugging Luke. (that is a hobby right? :P )
12. One thing I'd like to "finish" before I die ... my scifi fantasy novel Sword of the Dragon Moon.

So here goes.....
1. I can't stand procrastination - I say just get in there and do it and handle the consequences later.
2. Bureaucracy drives me absolutely insane and so do large corporations - I must have a huge red mark against my name with every major corporation here in Australia:)
3. I started my first business at age 12 which I sold at age 18 for 20K.
4. I have qualifications in horticulture, agriculture, business and marketing.
5. I work in graphic design, programming and IT. I have three businesses at present.
6. I also work in Quality Assurance. This takes a major part of my day.
7. I have been dating my current girlfriend for 8 months and 3 days (but who's counting).
8. I live with my brother (my parents and sister have moved out)
9. Life is great - except for the lack of sleep.
10. I am full of useless trivia - just ask me some day.
Cheers,
Allan
Worked for them for about six months back in 1995-96. I liked them a lot although they could be quite demanding, perfectionists even. I had great respect for them and their amazing talents. Their show was wonderful and I'm glad I got to see it so many times...never got bored. I still listen to the soundtrack on my iPod.Quote:

Then I got a chance to open Star Trek: The Expereince at the Las Vegas Hilton and I was out the door.
The only time Bernie ever smiled at me was when I told him I was quitting. :frown:
I'm gonna add my little bio here:
I'm Charles
1) Adult webmaster since 1995. I remember when Chris Newman owned and put up his first link on Men On the Net. When Badpuppy was born. When Dennis and Ted went up with Hunkhunters. When Geocities West Hollywood was the place to be. When Mount Equinox was the only gay affiliate program with weird things called banners. Damn, things sure have changed !
2) I'm a vegetarian.
3) I play basketball here at the gay league in San Francisco. I'm also working on a gay baseball league (hardball) and begging the Giants and the City of San Francisco to get involved and maybe sponsor the league.
4) I'm an avid gardener and nature lover. I've built several ponds in the last few years, both indoor and outdoor. People love my gardens but it's all mother nature's doing, not mine.
5) I live for my cats. I'm waaaay to overprotective and love them with all being. They are my children. I'm been away from them now for several months now but I visit them and get to watch them on my webcam. I ended a 16 year partnership last year in Santa Fe and began a new one here in SF. The cats are in NM and it's tearing me up but I can only hope to be with them again soon.
6) I'm a huge Cyndi Lauper fan and addicted to queer as folk. I love cinema, theatre, the power of a symphony. I love playing the piano and singing. I love huge powerful singing voices. I'm way into American Idol this year.
7) I suck at webdesign and not very aggressive when it comes to sales. I am very comfortable with working only a few hours a week and doing other things with my life. My interests are way to numerous for one lifetime. I'm going back to school in architectural interiors and horticulture here in SF. I love old buildings, art history, the ocean. I would love to someday design my own house.
8) I sometimes wonder why I am here on earth. War, hatred, violence, I don't understand why people are mean to animals, each other, murder, it just seems so unfathamable to me why people do what they do. Unfortunately its the only place I have to work with so I do the best I can.
hey, Huskyhunks - i didn't know you were another vegetarian! cool - how long ya been one? i've been a vegetarian for almost 12 years, and i don't buy leather.
it's a VERY scary world out there right now, but maybe we're here to put out the message that being gentle and kind is an option to being aggressive and harsh. even if the message only reaches a few people, you never know how many people they will reach.
Is that the one where each brother has a special power, and the one brother sucks up the whole sea so his other brothers can go in and get fish? I can't even remember the rest of it, except one could stretch his legs, and the sea drinker hated his other bros. I used to have that when i was tiny, like 5 or 6! I haven't thought about it since then, that's crazy. Thanks for the awesome nostalgia trip! ^_^Quote:

1. My name is Matthew, but people call me Matt, and when I work in fast food they always put Mat on my nametag! I'm an indie music artist, a clothing designer, and am not employed in any profitable sense.
2. I'm the most humble primadonna ever. I want what I want, when I want it, but it's never much and I always say please and thank you.
3. My nickname is SpaceMonkey, cuz i have really long arms and legs, i climb on everything, i have big ears, and i'm super ditzy and scatter brained...at least I assume that is where the nick comes from.
4. I opened my own computer store when I was 18. I also closed my computer store when I was 18, due to extreme water damage. Fuckin leaky roof! I'll never get over it! I've always been poor white trash, and this was a dream come true for me. Like someone throwing a bucket of blood on cinderella while she was at the ball...ok now I can relate to Carrie and feel her pain even more.
5. I used to be a straight edge vegetarian virgin, then I started going out to parties and everything went to hell. I still don't drink or do drugs, but I have definately been known to smoke (on stage that is) hehe. And I can still count sexual partners on my fingers, but just bairly.
6. I daydream a lot. My daydreams flipflop with my bipolar nature. One day I wish I was a modern messiah who could bring peace love and unity to everyone, the next I'm wishing I was a superhero that destroyed anyone who looked at me the wrong way.
7. I'm very immature. I feel 18, but i'm 25. I'm very idealistic and naive, and news stories still make my heart ache daily.
8. My first online venture was jaycam.net, a personal camsite/blog, which earned me 70k in a year, which of course I blew on friends, clothes, and keeping my bong in use. Youth AND money are waisted on the young!
9. I have sad, add, and I'm usually depressed. I don't have medical insurance, and these are very self defeating issues. A chicken and egg situation from hell, how can I get a job if I don't wanna go anywhere, I can't pay attention to anything, and everything makes me sad?
10. I have horrible vision and have been without glasses for three years now. Everything is very surreal, like an expressionist painting, and I'm living more and more in my own head. I can't tell if people are looking at me. Last week I fell in a giant hole that I didn't see, while I was carrying a pot of hot oil! (yeah that was stupid, but i was dumping it outside) Now I'm all burned and cut up, I look like the worst off victim of a prison riot. If I ever get glasses or contacts again, I won't be able to stop staring at everything, I will feel like a whole person again.
Can you tell I love talking about myself? I used to have ungodly amounts of friends, and now I have next to none, so I'm still not used to to not having people ask me about myself, how i've been, what i'm doing, etc.
