ABOUT ME

Hello. My name is Bill Miller. I'm the author of this web-site and the one seeking the situation set forth on the site. I live in Colorado in America. You may have read my basic plan. If so, you know my purpose. Otherwise, I want to introduce myself as well as I can. What I convey about myself on this page and throughout this web-site should constitute a pretty good introduction. Below are some basic facts.

GENERAL

White male.
5'8" (173 cm)
140 lbs. (64 kg)

Age - Into middle age. If you don't mind, I won't talk about my age at this point. The reason for this is because I want you to judge me on the basis of myself and not on the basis of an age. Suffice it to say that I'm along some. The picture above probably flatters me a bit, but it was the closest to the expression I wanted out of quite a few pictures that I took.
Education - B.A. in biology
Vocation - A small lawncare/landscaping business.
Avocation - Author of 2 books. Have recently self-published one, a sociological work, and am working to get the other, a novel that is a science fiction/social commentary, ready for publication. I have ideas for five more books, both fiction and non-fiction, that I would like to complete.
Religion - I do not subscribe to a formal religion. Concerning the ultimate nature of being, my view is simply that I do not know. I want to understand existence to the limit that our human perceptions allow, thus I am fond of science. But I do not think it likely that finite beings can fully understand an infinite and eternal universe. Thus my perspective in regard to being - my religious perspective, if you will - does not involve concern about what the universe, God, nature, reality, etc. can do for me. Rather, it involves an awe and a gratefulness that existence simply is.

SOME PERSONAL FACTORS

I am a person who can be quite self-sufficient.

However, I am not closed and unresponsive. Positive relationships are very important to me. I want warmth and affection.

I am subject to certain social anxieties and phobias which I discuss in the section entitled 'Why?'.

I am tolerant of others, including others who respond and behave toward me in negative ways, giving such persons chance after chance. When my limit has been reached with someone, I simply separate myself from that individual without fuss.

Of course, given continuing aggression toward me - emotional or physical - that I can't avoid, there comes a point when I will counter that aggression with the same. I have a considerable temper, but it's not that easy to trigger.

I am very sensitive, and I consider this a good thing. However, this sensitivity sometimes makes it difficult for me to handle emotionally stressful situations, at least internally. For this reason, I tend to avoid such situations - that is to the extent that meeting responsibility allows.

I tend to be guilt-prone. Of course, I have regular guilt feelings which are appropriate if I've done wrong. However, I can often be made to feel guilty even if I've done nothing to feel guilty about. For example, I am likely to feel guilty if someone conveys that I've hurt them, even if I know I haven't done so, or haven't done so intentionally. This makes me gun-shy of involvements with persons who are apt to make such conveyances.

I trust my judgement and want to make decisions on important matters.

I want to both support and to be supported; to hold and to be held.

I am generally very happy. I want to share this.
