About Me

My name is Owen, although I go by the name 'FinalBeyond' online... I make a few sprite comics, which I steadily work on whenever I have free time. Find some of my stuff as http://finale.webs.com.
Just finished studying at Queens School (A in Politics, A in English, B in History), soon to head off to Leicester University to study Politics.
I've had the same joke about my own nerdish leanings here for a long while, so I feel it's about time this should be updated. Rather than bothering to write out a witty remark along a similar vein, I'll leave a blank space underneath. You can fill in the blank, have a little chuckle at what I suppose should be 'my' wit, and yet feel a strange sort of satisfaction about having conjured it up yourself. Why yes, this is oddly postmodern for a Myspace description.
*insert witty remark here*
"As far as I'm concerned, "LOL" stands for "Please discount my opinion". I don't care if the acronym doesn't work." - Said by Manwards, but subscribed to by me. You're not laughing out loud, don't insult my intelligence. If you must indicate an actual laugh, use Rofflemow. :p
Also, I mainly use Facebook, so add me there if you want to keep in contact.

My Blog

Neil Gaiman = God. Or should I say, Endless.

So, went to the Q&A and Book Signing by Neil Gaiman, creator of The Sandman series (amongst many many other works). Allow me to say, if ever you see a signing by him, it is WELL worth going to. Wh...

Rocky Horror = AWESOMENESS.

So, went to see Rocky Horror in Wimbledon. The show itself was excellent. The acting was great, especially from David Bedella (Frank N. Furter), along with Matt Harrop (Riff Raff), and Richard Me...

Those damn Mac adverts...

Has Myspace just got sponsorship from Apple or something? Too many adverts! And they suck, anyway.I decided to check the site out, and there are so many fallacies I nearly threw a hammer at my screen....

Let's Do The Time Warp Again!

Got to love watching Rocky Horror in the 6th form common room, even though it wasn't that loud. I swear, me and Graham must have sung the Time Warp about 100 times over those two days. Anyone who does...

Finally made my Myspace look good.

Yeah, so... The background pic has two of my Photoshopped Sonic Adventure style drawings of my character Final, in both his human and Dream Angel forms.I think it looks fairly neat.

So, don't lean back on chairs, ok?

Leaning back on chairs is bad. Especially ones that need constant adjustment in order to keep the back bit on. Because falling on the floor is not good. At all.Ow.

Ham and Jam and Spamalot!

Last night I went to see the Monty Python musical, Spamalot. Absolutely fantastic. If you have the chance to see it, it's worth it.The plot was different enough from Holy Grail to make it unique, but ...
