I am here for Friends

About Me

Name: - Michael Pope
Date of Birth: - 01-03-1987
Age: - 21
Location: - Swansea, Wales
I don't really know what to put here, but i'll do what i can...
I'm Mike, I'm a twenty one year old Computer Animation student, studying at the Swansea Institute of Higher Education. The next 1-3 years of my life will are revolving heavily around my education, so I'm going to be in Wales a while.
I come from a small town called Croxley Green, just outside Watford in Hertfordshire, I spent the first 19 years of my life there, before my first year of uni, this July my parents moved from Croxley to a village in Norfolk called Diss.
Away from that, I'm a pretty reserved guy. Music is one of my main passions, I'm heavily into rock and metal music from all corners of the globe, I also play guitar to an average standard. Drawing is another passion of mine, my style is very heavily influenced by Japanese Manga and I like coming up with characters of my own or drawing for my friends.
Personally I'm pretty easy to get along with, although I feel I have a short temper when in a bad mood, though that doesn't happen often.
I don't have a lot of self-confidence and I don't believe in myself much.... I'm a bit of a pessimist about my own life, always looking ahead to the future and hoping that everything will work out wonderfully, like a movie...
I'm a passionate person, one of those hopeless romantic types who actually believes in love.
Currently I am in a relationship with a very lovely lady named Steph ^_^ she is lovely and i love her to bits :D
I don't know where this seems to be going now, so i'm just gonna trail off here.
*picks up bags and walks out to the platform, waiting in the rain for the train that will never come* (bloody Virgin Railways!)
Side-note:- If you plan to add me, please message me with your request so I can get to know you better first. I will not add you just on a whim.
