About me
Hi! I'm Gus, of Guszone fame.
I'm a bit wary of putting photos of myself on here, but I've been told I have (or at least had, this was ~5 years ago now) an uncanny resemblance to this painting:
I'm 26, a writer, and (for now, at least) a community college professor. I'm an American from Virginia and have yet to live in any other state, although I would like to. I write in every genre, but short form poetry is where I feel the most comfortable.
As for other things I care about, I'm a massive tea enthusiast (all tea traditions are wonderful, although I tend to have mine either western-style or gongfu), an amateur board game and ttrpg designer, and a hiker.

So far as my favorite music is concerned, I felt like the short lists (as seen above) couldn't really do it justice. So, I made a playlist. That can be found by changing the playlist to "Gussampler."
It includes some favorite songs, songs by favorite artists, and other stuff that generally reflects all the different sorts of music I listen to. The songs aren't organized in a particularly special way, so feel free to shuffle if you want!
