About Me
I'm a gay vegan blogging and crafting machine who hails from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn where I live with my partner Jessica and ourr kooky cats: Linus Harper, Lola Dixie, Lucinda and her kitten Marty.
My favorite activities are daydreaming, eating, drawing, reading graphic novels and how-to books, writing, crafting, baking birthday cakes, making cards for friends, and dancing at house parties. I'm also a lover of squirrels.
I became vegan in 2002 after reading Why Vegan and believe that getting information and a good, simple homemade vegan meal to the entire world is the path to animal liberation.
I do a fun website with my friends called SuperVegan--you're gonna wanna visit if you're vegan and/ or you live in NYC.
I would like to meet
Crafty types, art geeks, vegans, sugar addicts, fellow cheapskates, party animals, and (of course) Neil Diamond.
