About Me
About Me | Hi, I’m Gi. I’m a high-functioning hobo with a lot of nerdy interests and a black belt in smartassery. I play bass and sing in a punk band, I’m writing a graphic novel, and as a college dropout, I’m sporadically employed by a potpourri of non-sequitur dayjobs that, while usually awful, always make for at least one good story. And since I’m that guy who tells stories at parties, it all shakes out in the end. |

What I Like
Favorite Books | My favorite book is probably Blankets by Craig Thompson. Yes, it’s a graphic novel. If your gut response is to go, “Yeah, but what’s your favorite *real* book?”, then you are exactly the kind of person who needs to read Blankets. As to the aforementioned *real* books… this is kind of embarrassing, but I haven’t really updated my list of faves since I was, like, 15, so it comes off as equal parts “books I had to read for school” and “books they sell at Hot Topic”. I’m trying to rectify this at the moment, but my “To Read” list is incredibly daunting, and my attention span…uh…isn’t. The last thing I read was the first two Dragon Tattoo books, which I loved, and I’m currently trying to read Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran-Foer, but I’m already looking for the next thing, so please, send me some recommendations if you have any. |
Favorite Queer Books | …yeah, exactly what I just said about books in general. I can recommend a couple really solid comics (My Brain Hurts, Dar, Fun Home, Likewise), but I could really use some advice in this department. (Yes, I know Autostraddle already provides this service. I intend to make good use of it.) |
Favorite Movies | Oh, God. All of them. |
Favorite Documentaries | Maxed Out, Forks Over Knives, Bigger Stronger Faster*, Bowling For Columbine, Why We Fight, Paradise Lost, Catfish, Outfoxed, Rumsfeld’s War, Heavy Metal in Baghdad, Dogtown and Z Boys, This Film is Not Yet Rated, Exit Through the Gift Shop…I love Documentaries. |
Favorite TV Shows | I don’t watch a lot of TV, but when I do it’s usually cartoons (Venture Bros, SuperJail, Futurama, Adventure Time) or high-budget genre-fiction drama (True Blood, Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead) or British (Spaced, Peep Show, Skins, Little Britain, Sherlock, Kitchen Nightmares). Or it’s 30 Rock. Hell yes, 30 Rock. |
Favorite Music | I hate it when you ask people what kind of music they like and they go, “Oh, I like everything.” |
Favorite Sandwich | The Veggie Burger at Max Brenner's in New York |
Favorite Thing to Autostraddle | You. |
Favorite Quotes | “That which doesn’t kill you makes you a funny motherfucker.” |
Favorite Thing on Autostraddle.com | The tone of the whole site is just really great- I feel a whole lot less weird about myself and how I relate to the World of Gayness when the blogazine I go to for most of my news describes, for example, the Iowa Family Policy Center trying to dismantle gay marriage, as “Anti-Gay Religious Group in Iowa Uses Federal Funds to be Total Assholes”. |
Favorite Writers | Vonnegut, Kerouac, Ginsberg, Salinger, Thurber, Poe, Shakespeare, Tolkien, Kafka, Nabokov, Pahlaniuk, Rollins, dear god I need to read more books by women. |
