I'm probably taller than you. I'm taller than virtually everyone I've ever met. I run a web site for really tall people called The Height Site and if you're tall, you should check it out but honestly, my height is really a small component of who I am.

I like to keep fit and go to the gym regularly but I'm not obsessed with it. I really enjoy dance music and I still consider myself a Houser to the core, but I don`t really like going out to nightclubs or bars very much anymore. That was my career for almost a quarter of my life and I've had enough of the club scene.

I seem to have a lot of creative friends and I like to support them by attending their shows, art openings, record release parties, etc. On weekends, I can veg out in front of the TV or computer as well as getting out to explore the city maybe hit the farmer's market or a street fair or go to the beach if the weather is nice.

I read at least one book a month, mostly non-fiction and I often have a couple going simultaneously. Usually I'm in the middle of a "bed time book" and a "gym book." I love films, though I probably don't get round to seeing as many as I'd like. I make no distinction between high-brow and low-brow fare. I'll watch mainstream Hollywood films as well as indie fare and foreign films but I don't particularly care for 'shoot-em up' types and I'm definitely not a fan of action movies where the action and special effects take precedent over all the other elements of the film.

I love watching or playing volleyball though I don't get much opportunity to do it. I also like watching soccer, rugby and both college and pro basketball.

I can speak basic French though I find my vocabulary shrinks with each passing year of disuse. I`am currently teaching myself to speak Dutch, so any native speakers who want to contact me, Ik verlang naar jou! I've also been known to dabble in Hawaiian - I love the subtleties, nuances and lyricism of the language.

I'm a vegan, though I'm not militant about it. I understand it's not right for everyone but it really works for me and I find it fairly easy to stick to it. I became a vegetarian at the age of 14 and a vegan about ten years after that. I realize it's not for everyone but it works for me so I've found it easy to stick with it. Technically, I'm not a strict vegan coz I wear leather, suede, and, wool sometimes. I also eat honey and I eat the occasional gummy bears or Jelly Belly too.

I've compiled a few lists of some of my favorite things..more>
