About Me

English, painfully charming, crazy about Manchester, arrogant as hell, and what? Love being Northern. Love being half Greek Cypriot. Inlove with my team. Doritos with a hint of lime make my tongue tingle. I really like colours, and love going to shops where they have stacks of paper or pencils or pens all lying out there in colour order. I like things that feel nice to touch, like the shiny receipts you get from places or brand new fleeces. Currently obsessed with everything by Talib Kweli and Sam Cooke. When I'm sad I say lines from Elf in my head like "I'm in a STORE and I'm SINGING!" or "Buddy the Elf, what's your favourite colour?" I also sing out loud a lot (which is a shame, because I can't sing) and whistle (but I'm pretty damn good at that).
I'm happiest when I'm arguing, watching the game, with my girlfriend, proving someone wrong, drinking Stella, having sex or listening to music... and I'm usually doing one or a combination of these things. I love my girlfriend.
"I read somewhere that if given a choice between sex & peace of mind, she said, most people would choose peace. Personally, I said, I do fine with a little anxiety."

A time for cheating, a time for deceiving

Another Christmas done and dusted. I'm absolutely knackered. I got up at 10ish, and after going to bed at 4am because of my late night girlfriend, I'm feeling the pain. How I used to be up at 6am with...
