I'm a knowledge magpie ("Shiny!"). I am a freelance journalist but pay my rent by doing other things. I have been known to sing Ladino music as easily as Jazz. Yes, I'm not a Jew. I was raised Roman Catholic, rebelled and became a Pagan in the '90s. In 2007, my upbringing prevailed but I hang with the Anglicans now since they have more of a clue. There's something very Canadian about being Anglican (i.e. liberal and indicisive). I have settled into being over 35 and single. I am attracted to men predominantly. Flirting with younger Jewish men provides much amusement but their mothers need not worry - I can't have children anyway.
