Aagh, fuck that's loud

About Me

Hi, I'm Ben. I like movies, sunsets, views from high places, sliding on my knees, and cups of tea; I don't like bad parents, hiccups, ravioli or sleeves; when I was 19 I travelled around the world on my own; I like the smell of bonfires, fresh coffee, mown grass, and aftersun; I've been hopelessly in love 3 times and nearly died twice; I have two fantastic brothers, a mum who worries too much, and a dad who's a little too much like me; my favourite colours are orange and white; my favourite noise is the doorbell; I'm afraid of crowded department stores, irrational people, Sydney house spiders (they chase you and can bite through boots!) and of not being useful; looking at the sun makes me sneeze; I worry I'm meant to be doing something else; I've a high IQ but a terrible memory and I'm rubbish at maths; I've never broken a bone but I have lots of healthy scars; I don't like loud noises; If I could have one wish it would be to have the right answer every time. I'm 26; I love to laugh, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
