About Me

So, where does the name come from? I hear you ask. Well, Austere means the same thing as severe. My whole life I've been told I need to smile more, so I took inspiration from that and found my favourite word in the entire dictionary, Austere. It's the name I used to work under as a writer and its now the name I use online and the name of my freelance PR company.
I admire the people on my page. I am a publicist and a writer and a promoter in the city of Melbourne, Australia. I'm 24 and look like I'm at least 4 years younger, or so everyone says. I was once asked for ID in JB Hi-Fi when I bought Skins on DVD. If you have the time, take a look at my webzine, Arcady and check out my club night Albion . These are the things that keep me centered and striving for more.
I'm pretty hedonistic. I only do the things that make me happy. If I don't like it, I won't do it. Hence why I've been living in Melbourne for a few months now and still don't have a stable income. Some people, believe it or not, see this is as a silly mistake. I also don't take kindly to people trying to befriend me for the purpose of using me for my connections. If I get you something for free (eg. V Festival tickets) I expect a thank you before and after the event. If I suspect that you're pissed off with me about something and have no idea what I've done wrong and then you ask me to do something, expect that it won't happen. I don't have time for users in my life.

I'd like to meet:

YOU. As long as you fit into my guidelines splendidly: Take a look at my profile, if we have nothing in common, you're most likely a metro fuck and I wouldn't want anything to do with you anyway. Do not waste your time messaging me either. I won't reply. You must love tequila and dancing. And if we've never met before, then message me first, give me your top 10 favourite bands of all time and the top 10 records that changed your life. If there's something on there I don't agree with, you're likely to never hear from me again. I don't care about Paris Hilton or which Olsen twin is dating which famous guy. Also, just because Wayfarers are in fashion, doesn't mean they look good on you. I also really hate people that can't speak or spell properly. Stop bashing the English language, goddamnit!!!!!

A MAN. Preferably one I have something in common with and fits into the above guidelines as well as the following: Someone who shocks and amazes me with their record collection. Someone who reads Allen Ginsberg, HST, Lester Bangs, Kerouac, Bukowski, Pahluhniuk, JD Salinger, Douglas Coupland and Nick Hornby. Someone who is confident, without being arrogant. Someone who will call just to say hello. Someone who gives me hugs just because. Someone I can talk to about everything and anything and they won't judge me on past mistakes. Someone who when I look at them my heart skips a beat. And someone who is talented, beautiful and amazing. I want someone who represents the abstract concept of the "cute indie boy". I want Marten Reed. In a less animated form.
