The obvious truth: I am a bit of a zombie freak.
The turth you may have guessed: my name is Jim (well it is actually James but Jim or Jimmy is just as good).
Stuff about me: I am studying a bachelor of writing at the university of Canberra, ACT, Australia. My major is in creative writing (excellent!). Other studies are in media production and literary studies.
I am the editor of the dark culture ezine, Eclectomatic Ezine. The publication is quarterly, free to view and currently a for-the-love-of-it project. This means we can't actually pay contributors in anything other than exposure. For those interested, our submission guidelines (you MUST read these first) and contact details can be found on our website.
Our first issue is available for direct download from our site or from the brilliant ISSUU.com
Things I like:
Industrial, cyberpunk, sci/fi, horror, comics, dark humour, wine, cigarettes, coffee, chains, buckles, odd rusty metal objects, cities, strange architecture, buildings of derelict or disrepair, The Dandy Warholes, surrealist art, psychedelic music, monster, demons, aliens, humanity (as in the study of), subcultures, cyborgs, technology, fatty food, apocalypse, zombies.

And now for something completely random - a very weird excerpt from a scene from Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus
[MARCUS strikes the dish with a knife]
TITUS: What dost thou strike at, Marcus, with thy knife?
MARCUS: At that that I have kill'd, my lord- a fly.
TITUS: Out on thee, murderer, thou kill'st my heart! Mine eyes are cloy'd with view of tyranny; A deed of death done on the innocent Becomes not Titus' brother. Get thee gone; I see thou art not for my company.
MARCUS: Alas, my lord, I have but kill'd a fly.
TITUS: 'But!' How if that fly had a father and mother? How would he hang his slender gilded wings And buzz lamenting doings in the air! Poor harmless fly, That with his pretty buzzing melody Came here to make us merry! And thou hast kill'd him.
MARCUS: Pardon me, sir; it was a black ill-favour'd fly, Like to the Empress' Moor; therefore I kill'd him.
TITUS: O, O, O! Then pardon me for reprehending thee, For thou hast done a charitable deed. Give me thy knife, I will insult on him, Flattering myself as if it were the Moor Come hither purposely to poison me. There's for thyself, and that's for Tamora. Ah, sirrah! Yet, I think, we are not brought so low But that between us we can kill a fly That comes in likeness of a coal-black Moor.

the back row on October 29Greetings. Zombies are cool. I have a delightfully zombified costume for Halloween.
The Titus Andronicus quote is hysterical and bizarre. I've been meaning to read that play, a friend of mine did a monologue for the Queen and claims it's exceptionally gory.
Are you a steampunk fan, too? -
