About Me

Why Duckie? Well, I guess it's because as a good friend once put it - "you're just like that guy Duckie from 'Pretty In Pink'". And I suppose it's sort of true. True in that I'm that same sort of happy-go-lucky misfit. I'm 29-years-old and some would say handsome (I'm 6ft tall and slim with brooding features! Ha ha!) cruising through life just like my namesake with some terrific friends by my side. I have a good heart and can perhaps be a little too trusting sometimes. Maybe that's because I don't lie. Yet I would rather believe in someone from the outset. Even if that person doesn't believe in me. It really is a case of just being true to yourself. Anyway just like Duckie my love life similarly has it's ups and downs. You can never keep a good Duckman down though. Step forward my special prom date. Which John Hughes Character Are You?
You are Clark Griswold (from National Lampoon's Vacation)! You're full of optimism and boundless energy, and no one loves a good family trip more. No one else can swear a blue streak like you either, Sparky!
