I'll die for you but i won't live for you...

About Me

How do you write anything on this without sounding so arrogant? Well I believe myself to be honest, caring, simple, complex, creative, regular, motivated, lazy, expressive, introvert and sometimes funny (if you know funny). I don't know how this sums me up.I study Music Technology at Birmingham and live here in a house of 5 friends which is awesome. At this moment I feel fine. I am 21. I am a regular boy with a few good friends. Music is everything to me. When I'm not listening I'm writing and "singing" in a hardcore band, Stella Dawes. I also try and write acoustic stuff when I get the time and you could always ask if you want to hear a song.Everything is good at the moment. I hope it stays that way for a while.

My Interests

I love music. I love vinyl. I play guitar and drums and I "sing". I watch a lot of comedy shows and football (don't hate me) - I go to the Arsenal every game. I like the snow and love boarding. I like to meet new and interesting people. I love travelling and travel at every possible moment. I like lots of stuff but somehow listing it doesn't feel right...If everyone listed everything about them then there would be nothing to find out. You could always ask

I'd like to meet:

Nice people
