Benjamin Maydon
I was named Benjamin Charles Maydon by my mother and father, and that's still my name. I started reading at the age of fifteen months and haven't stopped yet. I also started writing at around that age, and I haven't stopped doing that either.
I write theatre and video game reviews as Pooka. I write and sing songs as Pookie K. I act as Benjamin Maydon. I do stand-up comedy, musical skits and monologues, often as Pookiyama K Maidyn. I write about love and relationships anonymously. I keep websites, blogs, and notebooks which are full of random pieces of poetry, unfinished fanfiction and song lyrics which never come to fruition. I compose in my head and that never goes anywhere either, but I write it down anyway.
Oh, and I've managed to get to sleep a few times.
