I am here for Friends

About Me

I write THIS : www.for-ilford-dyson.blogspot.com It's a fictional blog from a boy whose father was a magician, but he died when all the magic in the world stopped working. The blog's like an ongoing novel, about the events after magic collapsed and the search for Ilford Dyson - his father's last words. It started Nov 1st 2006 so, if you're going to read it, start there and work forward or it won't make any sense. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- I'm also writing other stuff, trying to learn to draw, attempting to learn about history and psychology, and consistently failing to achieve a decent level of fitness. If I could, I'd go back to the age of five and tell myself to get a headstart, but I don't think that technology's coming any time soon.

My Interests

I like writing stories, reading comics, and eating packed lunches in the cinema. I also like clocks in public places, oak trees, making lists, and those little red, spicy peppers that are filled with soft cheese. ------------------------------------------------------------ -- And I also love my girlfriend: her name is MaryBeth.

I'd like to meet:

People who'll read my story. It's not a pre-requisite for being a friend or anything, especially since some people will think it's a load of rubbish, but I put a lot of time into it, so it'd be cool if people took a look.Otherwise... I'd like to meet people who get confused about stuff, who remember how good The Real Ghostbusters was, who realise songs are for singing along and dancing to, and who understand the distinction between not being PC and actually you're just being racist.I'd also like to meet Patrick Stewart.
