I own a forum called man of the moment, it's very sucessful, and makes me happy :)
I play lots of instruments, i've had my guitar for over a year now, and a flute for about 14 years... (gosh). I have many many many interests, namely Astronomy, Film, Gaming.... there isn't a gaming section here (shame) so i'll tell you i have a PS2 and a DS (i've pretty much always had a Nintendo handheld since 1987) I rock at all types of games, but prefer RPG types, and i like a few of the sporty types, like Rocky. a few of the more.... action types like LOTR and GTA... basically i'll play anything, a few of my favourites are ICO, We love Katamari, Phoenix Wright series, Trauma Centre, Animal Crossing, The Sims, Beyond Good and Evil and.... Spiderman!
I'm also a sucker for a good Jigsaw puzzle, i can do a 1000 piece LOST Jigsaw in a day and a half. (no puzzle art and with plenty of sleep, leisure time away from the puzzle) i'm rather proud of that.
I also collect models, mainly LOTR ones, lil mini ones, and i have a few large models, one of the hatch in LOST, one Barad-dur and Minas Tirith from LOTR, and 4 large models of Legolas, Aragorn, Captain Jack Sparrow and Freddie Mercury. As you can imagine, those 4 get on rather well! i have also a lovely model of Charlie from LOST, he's my favourite of the LOSTies. Now acquired a Sawyer. Oh and i have a MR Flibble hand Puppet... i don't know, if that pic is still up, but some of the others feature in photos, with me.
I also do crochet! i made a very nice Fellowship leaf design blanket.
And cross stitch, just for the novelty of saying i'm doing Sean Bean. I JUST FINISHED!!! 24/03/2008
I write fiction, which i publish, and something i call art, (HA!) that i also throw out every now and again. If you're lucky enought to stumble upon my artwork, hidden on the web then good luck. If not, i put a bit of it in my photo section and it's in the folder marked Art! Haha!
I'd like to meet:
Interesting funny people..... Who like the things that i like.... or are just funny, i don't mind, i'll chat about anything. :) I've met some Honeybee's and that went ok (Elaine, Roby, Mio, Lara, Emma, Kirsty, Gary, Fee and Sandi) and i'd love to meet some more, and some more again :) so... there, I've said it. Hehehe...
I'd like to meet Lisa sometime soon, i haven't seen her in a while *lol* She knows i'm joking (Starlight if you're wondering) and i haven't seen Sebby for a while.
I've now met Beecake one and a half times, but it won't stop me seeing them again :) I'd love to meet... hmmm... Lot's of people, namely my Angels (Susie, Sue, Lily and Helen) and most of the MOTM members... I'm a people person, it seems. :)
