Yuri is a 45 year old guy from Balmain, NSW. He's gay and in a relationship and last visited us .
| Yuri is work/eat/sleep, work/eat/sleep ... *sigh*. |
Two years now in Sydney via San Francisco (and Boston, and central California, and a stint in Prague), having moved here with my Aussie born-n-raised partner. Just got my permanent residency visa - you're stuck with me now!
Having a blast in our cool little house in Balmain, getting to know the area, messing around in my garden. Would love to make new friends to socialise with (and who knows what else, but really, it's mostly wanting to expand the platonic social circle).
I'm the world's worst homosexual - can't dress fashionably, won't go out on the dancefloor, would rather be in a quiet pub than a noisy club. Say hi and we can talk rock and roll, odd books, old movies, and the Sydney Swans.
Poetry, history, humour, rock and roll, travel, interesting movies (esp, silent film), animals, exploring Australia
Tons of stuff, none of which gets me in good with my fellow Gays, Usually loud shatter-glass-at-30-metres guitar - noise/sludge/feedback (Boris rules), rockabilly, psychedelia, also a bizarre penchant for 60s/70s bubblegum, And sorry, The Beatles were (are) God
the movies of Ozu Yasujiro, Federico Fellini, Buster Keaton, um, and plenty of gay porn
Master & Margarita, Tristram Shandy, any good farce/satire, Mostly read poetry and biography and history though
