About Me

I've just graduated from university and have a degree in Computer Science/Software Engineering, though to be honest I have no idea why. At least now I know I don't want to be a programmer! I work as an accounts minion for a law firm.
Previously, my hair has been a multitude of colours, but now it's dyed normal coloured for work. I like listening to music and seeing bands, going to the cinema and spending unhealthy amounts of time online.

My Interests

star wars, lord of the rings, star trek, scifi and fantasy generally, music, books, films, earning money for sleeping, dyeing my hair fabulous colours, spelling colours the english way, eating cake, monica bellucci, neil gaiman, AFI, alkaline trio, going to festivals occassionally, eating corpse fruit, comics, making jewellery

I'd like to meet:

I don't want to hear about your band, your website or any kind of not a real person that gets pimped out on myspace. Really. I don't want to know. If I want to hear new music or check out a site for something, then I will damn well go and look for it myself.
Otherwise... go ahead and message me. Though I don't get this "I'd like to meet" thing. Talking over the internet doesn't really count as meeting does it?

Music:

afi, feeder, the cure, alkaline trio, idlewild, placebo, queens of the stone age, tiger army, VAST, manic street preachers, jeff buckley, a perfect circle, bjork, aqualung, glassjaw, HIM, headswim, goo goo dolls, incubus, hunter revenge, lit, madonna, duran duran, spandau ballet, sisters of mercy, the smiths. maroon 5, pj harvey, silverchair, patsy cline, son of sam, flatline, pitchblend, tori amos, ben folds five, ben folds, bic runga, thea gilmore, jason downs, bloc party, go home productions, deathboy, the stone roses, alec empire

Movies:

star wars, the matrix, dogma, dark city, lord of the rings, x-men, constantine, brotherhood of the wolf, high fidelity, hellboy, donnie darko, facing window, a history of violence, the life aquatic, star trek, the 13th warrior, also really really bad films. like torque.

Television:

i don't really watch television anymore and I don't know why.

Books:

JRR Tolkien, Michael Marshall Smith, Neil Gaiman

Heroes:

monica bellucci, senator popentine, princess leia, neil gaiman

My Blog

Yet again...

...I log in to attempt to use myspace and minutes later my profile is unavailable due to maintenance. ... Ridiculous.

Nostalgia

Either I'm getting old or just really nostalgic. I'm halfway through season 1 of my X-files box set and I've got a hankering for the music I used to listen to a lot back then.   Probably both rea...

Cartoons

Gah. I had a post and then it didn't show up in the preview. Suck.Anyway, cartoons. There doesn't seem to be as many good ones on tv. Or maybe I'm just not watching at the right time. Hm.

if i could think of a subject, i'd use it

Lately, loads of people I used to hang out with at secondary school have started getting in touch again. It's kind of strange. Although I guess by keeping the same screen name for... most of my online...

Randomly decided that really, I should have pictures that aren't at least 2 years old. So here are some that are from about the last time I dyed my hair. Back in August. It's amazing I haven't ripped ...

how can we miss someone as dull as this?

What I really wonder about is all the people I already know, that have accounts here that I don't know about. Heh.
