Reader, meet author
Philosophy student, library slave, Irish-Australian vegetarian asexual and probably a walking cliché. Bunburyist; omphaloskeptic; existentialist; back bedroom casualty. Interested in beat poetry, Greco-Roman mythology, Twin Peaks and the 1966 Batman series. Obsessed with Morrissey and Johnny Marr to the point of madness. I can't dance.
