I'm a writer, but I'm also a reader. I can be a bit of a literary snob, but I know what I like. I'm very analytical, but that doesn't mean I'm always serious. In fact, I'll be the first to crack a joke. My humor can be quite dry. And, by all things caffeinated, I am hopelessly addicted to coffee. I am here to write--about writing, about life, or about that creepy guy I always see at the local coffee shop. He always sits in the corner and stares at me like I'm his last meal. If nothing else, my life inspires me.

Hello, I'm Pat. I do things, and I live somewhere. In my free time I enjoy doing stuff and seeing stuff. I work in a place where people work.

J'aime parler en français. Mais je ne suis pas celui bon à lui.
