I am here for Friends

About Me

Hey all! Your fearless chum Ed here, straddling the split-personalities of MySpace and Facebook like an intarwebs champ.
I got paid to write about wine for a bit, now I'm having the time of my life teaching bad English to kids in Japan . I live by a paddy field and ride a train painted like a ninja to work - all is well with the world!
At weekends I assume the name Susan and can be found fighting crime with my friend Gregory.
I learnt to be a better person with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Sliding across highly polished floors on my knees; trying to use processed cheese as drywall; pooh sticks; jam roly-poly; disgracing notable politicians; quiche.

I'd like to meet:

Bob Dylan, Stephen Chow and Jimmy Crankie - in any order.
Failing that, my school's playing a classical music disco medley over the PA and I'd quite like to meet the demented loon who made it. It's currently on Rossini.
I'd also like to meet YOU. Should I? I don't know; you tell me.
