# About me
Hi.I'm Kalle. When I'm not trying to perfect the art of obscure referential humour in the forums , I sit at a desk and look at numbers and make phone calls and write code and pretend to be an adult.
Despite appearances to the contrary, I also write poetry (some day I may even submit something). I tend toward narrative, science fictiony poetry, and have an odd fixation with fractured time lines and Gnostic mythology. Blame it on PKD, I suppose.

Aw, shucks. All I did was not piss anyone off for a few years -- well, not too much. Anyone can do that.

I find it cool that you list Me and You and Everyone We Know as one of your favorite movies. It features my ASCII art but I still haven't got to see it myself - I should probably do something about that, especially since the film has been praised so widely.

Really? That's wicked cool (and a fantastic film, too). Which ones did you make?

There should be a tiger head of mine (which is also in my gallery), not sure if there's other stuff too.

I have to say I have found your comic valley of the crescent moon very entertaining. I am also amazed that you have been keeping tabs on me all these years!

Ditto. Yeah, I've done that, too -- more than once.

It's a llama. I use it as a surrogate yak until someone makes me a yak emoticon. Yaks can weigh over 1200 pounds and have a lifespan of 20-25 years.

For some reason, that sounds vaguely dirty to me. It's probably just me.
(Moods reminds me of the "like/love/hate" dropdowns we used to have on userpage comments (oh, and the grades on deviations!). All that's missing now is the reformation of the `jackdirt appreciation society, and it'll be 2002 again)
