now that I've posted...

Perhaps I ought to introduce myself for clarity's sake.

I'm Jim!

To elaborate - I was born on a farm. I read alot of comic books. I read alot of science books. I read alot of TV Guide. I was your fat awkward silent lonely straight-A's honors student! I went to UIUC to study physics. Six years, a published play, a certain number of fights, and an uncertain mental hospitalization later I graduated with a B.A. in Rhetoric and moved to Chicago. Three weeks after that my work was in a show! Which tanked from technical problems and lack of publicity! Then I decided to make money in "the real world" and dicked around with starting my own troupe. Then I went completely, abjectly, terrifically insane. Twice. That story pending.

Now, richer in wisdom and much much poorer in everything else, I return to you, world. You suck. But I'll help you with that. Please send me new friends. I can't afford a dog.
