About Me

I'm 21, live at home and am obsessed with film, especially the Incredibly Strange Film Festival variety of yesteryear and only really like going to town on Wednesday nights for the Big Kumara's 80s room. Having said that I wander around quite a lot as I like to windowship or let thoughts drift around in my head. Emulators have saved me a lot of money since 1997 - Yoshi's Island may well be the greatest game of all time. I guess I'm pretty open minded but am usually pretty quiet when I first meet people, unless I am drunk.

My Interests

Cooking, sport, dvds, film, reading, writing (both creatively and critically)test

I'd like to meet:

The Hoff. Seeing as that won't happen I'll settle for anyone who seems cool. Perhaps the complete polar opposite of myself? I mean I'd like to meet myself but it would probably fuck the space-time continuum or something like they told us in Back to the Future.
