About Me


Wow, about time this got updated I reckon...I'm studying Illustration at SIHE (second year now - although my profile may still be saying this long after I graduate, who knows?) and I'm hoping to become a successful freelancer afterwards (don't we all).I'm kind of narcissistic (something I realized recently, although I'm sure anyone who knows me well already knew it, and maybe even tried to make me see it on occasion - sorry, but I guess it comes with a dose of obnoxiousness too :/ )In complete contradiction to that however, I'm not great at volunteering information - give me e topic and I'll talk your ear off, but ask me to start a conversation or tell you something about myself and I'm stumped.By the way, I hate chain letters/chain blogs/chain fucking anything really. For the love of all that is good in this world, DON'T send me anything that has a "if you do this then this will happen" or "if you don't repost this, you will miss your chance at love" bollocks... it's all bullshit, we all know it, and I for one am making a stand. Chain letters - FUCK OFF.I'm a hateful person, and I don't make friends easily. Sure, I try and be friendly, but more often than not I can tell soon after meeting a person whether or not we'll get on well, and if not (which is the more common answer) I'll run out of things to talk about with you real quick, there'll be some awkward silences, and that's it - show's over.If you're someone I can get on with (rare) awesome - I tend to keep these people close for as long as I can, because let's face it, this world can be a lonely fucking place, but if you have a few people you can REALLY call friends, somehow it doesn't seem so empty any more.So that's it. This is me. I probably don't like you. Don't feel bad.
