Blake's Blurbs |
About me:
I'm Blake. I live in Brooklyn. I have a fiancee. Her name is Paige. She once lived in Manhattan and often made fun of me for living in Brooklyn. Now she lives with me and I make fun of here — for living in Brooklyn.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor, or a lawyer, or maybe an astronaut. Today I work in publishing, or editing, or something like that. I'm not really sure what to call it. It also involves technology. Lots of it.
I count my lucky stars every night that I've climbed out from the dank hole that I grew up in. And yet, sometimes, when my stars aren't out for counting, I wish that I could crawl back into my old hole and feel safe.
I guess that's just a part of growing up.

Who I'd like to meet:
People, preferably, people.
