#introduction

I'm Mike. Pessimistic Optimism is unlikely an original worldview, but it's done with my own brand of flair. I've sojourned in many a social media site, but I'm not really home on any. I will fill this post with hashtags— these are my favorite things and subjects I'll happily engage in.

This is me.

📚 #Books -
I love reading. Any subject, really. I have a soft spot for #fantasy and #scifi, but I mainly love #horror, especially #Lovecraftian horror. My main loves: #NeilGaiman #TerryPrachett #RayBradbury #StephenKing #LOTR #TheAlchemist #TheAlchemystSecretsOfTheImmortalNicholasFlamel #Lovecraft
🎮 #Gaming -
Been gaming all my life. Not limited in this genre, either.
#Riven is foundational to who I am. I look for it in everything, even subconsciously. You'll see hints of this in my taste in music, games, etc.

🎞️ #Movies -
Big movie nerd here. From the silent era to modern times, I have favorite movies in every decade. #WatchParty -friendly from Twitter, hope there's a community here for that, too!
