So… there are all kinds of ways one could introduce oneself. Let’s just go with a quick bullet point list here, because a lot of my future posts are likely to dive deep into specifics.
- Name: you can call me Starthief.
- Starthief?: Yeah, It’s a nickname my spouse gave me once because I was playing dirty at Mario Party.
- Really?: I mean, also I like stars generally, both in an astronomical sense and for various personal spiritual reasons, so at the end of 2015 when I wanted to choose a new band name, I went with that.

- Gender:
- No, really…?: non-binary.
- Pronouns: “they/them,” or anything, I’m not fussy.
- Body type: disappointing.
