Call me Ishmael. Well, OK, you can also call me Shoe. Fewer harpoons that way, anyhow. Birthplace and current residence in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Two cats, one Shoemom, one decent admin job that feeds the cats and Shoemom and incidentally caters to my chocolate fetish... ...But what I really want to do is write. To that end, I've been using my LiveJournal as a sort of lab for my ongoing efforts. I've reprinted some of them here in the hopes of getting some serious feedback.
