My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Millsy, Mungo, Zammo, Fishmonger and Jedi get yourselves on here
For everyone else if you send me an add and I know you I will almost certainly accept. If I don't know you, I'll briefly consider it while hovering over Deny, but I am always willing to be pleasantly surprised

The way to my heart is through a blog comment but be warned if you write Thanks for the Add! and You added Me I will bring you down to chinatown baby. I f-ing hate that
Peace, Ian
