About Me

Well, i'm Andy. i'm 18 years old with a slightly worrying obsession with music.i'm also quite into recording and sound-technology-stuff, which is why my room appears to be getting more and more clogged up with, lets face it, Rubbish that no one else wants, but i'm Convinced will do something if i mess around with it long enough.i'll also happily debate fair trade and other forms of social justice for hours with anyone bored enough to listen.i think the legnth of a day should be extended to at Least 36 hours - theres just No Time otherwise!Topic of the day/week/month/year - are hippys always right?Andyi thought i'd do a bit of an update to my profile. i was shocked and appalled at how little i'd written in the 'music' section. it now looks a bit healthier, though there's some stuff on there i'm still not sure about... =P
Be smooth, Be Fair Trade

My Interests

Music! running around madly. drinking coffee. eating chocolate cake. playing trombone and guitar as much as i possibly can. listening. debating. discussing. being non-violent. being violent in the name of non-violence. laughing hysterically at politicians. sleeping. climbing trees. getting the Fire Brigade to help me out of trees. writing songs. wishing my house wasn't so cold. filling in this MySpace thing. wondering if anyones going to read this. reading. talking. wandering round town. sitting in the coffee shop. laughing hysterically at everyone But politicians, who aren't even Funny anymore. day dreaming. shaking hands with people. having 'heart to hearts'. getting really Really angry, and then shouting Lots at someone who really deserves it, and then not being angry anymore. learning to drive. repeating things, in a slightly different way to how they were originally. repitition. talking in a similar fashion to how a mirror reflects light. going 'hhmmm....' kicking doors open with a shout of 'hiyaaa!!!'. dancing 'irishly' to heavy metal. dancing 'irishly' to everything else. running as fast as i possibly can. liberating the common room (with Rabia, of course!) making birthday cards. humming. telling a five minute long story without stopping to breathe and using the word 'and then' every few words. having fire parties. jumping. having so little energy i can't even get to sleep. playing rock-paper-scissors. knowing that 'rock' always wins. shouting at those who use 'dynamite' in that game, when everyone knows that its 'fire'. using the phrase 'i have Such a Good idea...' hanging upside down from trees. jumping over fires. trying to make custard powder blow up. discovering that the constellations actually exist. reading something really Interesting in the paper or a book, and then being able to use that in a conversation the same day. typing everything as if they keyboard has moved one key to the right, while my hand stays in the same position. yy[ohmsbom sd og yjr lrunpstf jsd ,pbrf yp yjr ;rgy/. laughing till its hard to breathe, but the only thing you can think about is the thing that started you laughing the first place. finding the obvious flaw Straight Away. job hunting. being unemployed. being south-pawed. yawning. finding a plectrum that you thought you'd lost. handing out business cards for SOJO. abusing the term "Band." when communicating with lesser mortals - everyone who can't use the term "Band." bowing. knowing what the oscillators and the cut off frequency and the filters in a synth do. knowing that You don't. wondering where that funny clackety noise came from.
