About me

Let's start with adjectives. Sarcastic. Omnivorous. Curious past the point of politeness. A little intense. Incisive on a good day. Impatient on most of them.

What I do with the rest of my life
Books I can't finish fast enough and opinions I hold too firmly. I'm a sucker for a lost cause and annoyingly good at helping one win.

Things I'm genuinely good at
Reading between the lines. Scheming, harmlessly. Noticing the detail you assumed nobody caught and mentioning it at exactly the wrong moment. Power dynamics — provided we both understand that nobody in the room is entirely in charge.

Six things I couldn't do without
My passport. Coffee, red wine and very good chocolate. A library card. Being somewhere near water, even if I get there less than I'd like. Work I don't hate. And — is it gauche to say it? — sex. Sorry.

The first thing people notice is that I'm friendly and actually interested in them. Everyone's a puzzle. Even the man who leads with a photograph of his abs.

My circle stays small on purpose. If you'd like to be in it, tell me something true 📚
