A Few Facts of Dubious Relevance
- Full name: Scott Allen Martin
- Birthdate: December 18, 1974
- Place of birth: South of Detroit, MI
- Heritage: Standard Northern European hybrid. The only part that
really interests me is the Irish heritage from my father's mother. My
mother's mother claims that there's Cherokee blood in the family, and
her facial features (and my cheekbones) suggest that this might in fact
be true, but it's not documented.
- Current residence: Kalamazoo, MI
- Favorite city: Aberdeen, Scotland. I spent nine months studying at
the University there in '94-95 and loved it. It's just the right size,
the people are great, and the architecture rocks. Kalamazoo is a close
second.
- Education: Graduated cum laude with an honors degree in
biology from Kalamazoo College, Kalamazoo, MI in 1996. Master of Science
in Genetics from the Committee on Genetics, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, 1998.
- Religious affiliation: Loose Celtic pagan reconstructionism, with an emphasis on
goddess worship and shamanism.
- Tattoos: Done by Raven at Steele Dreamer Tattoos, Otsego, MI. The
designs were produced by collaboration between myself and Raven (I can't
draw to save my soul, so I described them and she interpreted). If I get
some decent photos, I'll post them on my photos page.
- Fashion preferences: T-shirt, jeans, and boots, with a vest if the
weather's decent or a flannel shirt for warmth. A trenchcoat or leather
jacket is favored for outerwear. Preferred colors are dark: lots of black,
dark greens and blues, earth tones.
- Hobbies: Reading, dancing, playing guitar.
- Musical instruments: Electric and acoustic guitar, some hand percussion, and some vocals.
- Musical interests: Fairly eclectic. I'm only violently opposed to
rap (with a few exceptions), vocal R&B, extreme metal, white bread
contemporary jazz, and country. After that, it's pretty much open season.
- Current goals: Spend more time working on my spirituality. Write more music!
