About Me

If you send me a friend request and I don't know you personally, accompany it with a message or piss off. And you'd better be worth knowing.

Below is me (ever-expanding and split into paragraphs for legibility).
I ask a lot of questions. I'm here for a good time and a long time - you only live once. I like to leave a mark. I'm a prick. I'm deadly honest and always speak my mind. I possess an inexorably overactive mind and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. I study graphic design. I'm always busy/occupied - I have to be. If I have time for you, you're very fortunate. I care more about myself than anyone. Ambition drives me. I live to learn. Intelligence attracts, uniqueness allures, perfection intoxicates. Thrash is my poison. Fiancée . Housemate . I freelance in the following fields: Graphic Design , Web Design , Photography , Music Industry Journalism . I also own a small distro/label .

Mum and Dad raised me fabulously. I'm fiercely determined to enjoy every minute of life, to learn everything, ever and see everywhere, ever. Don't get in my way. I'll remorselessly tread on others for my own gain. I don't swerve to avoid stupid pedestrians - natural selection must continue. Earth would be superior with around 6 billion fewer human inhabitants. If you believe in a god, I will look down upon you. I learn from my mistakes. I will willingly "write off" any person I encounter in the event that they utter or do one unforgivably stupid thing. I curl my toes up when I walk on tiles. I have atypical taste in women. My abdominal muscles are misaligned. The best time to have an orgasm is whilst hearing an amazing solo. In the case of 90% of bands, I believe the apogee of their musical output is their debut.

I'm usually in a rush, but now and then I like to take the time to admire, examine and understand. A lot of people don't get my humor which is all the more amusing for me. I always correct people when the say something erroneous. Gustave Doré is in a league of his own. I still use proper grammar and spelling on msn. I avidly avoid tv, the radio and news print. When things are written to be read in an irregular order (e.g. painted warnings on roads that say "Slow. Down. Now"), I always read them top-to-bottom, left-to-right ("Now. Down. Slow"), even when it's blatantly obvious to me that they're meant to be read in a different order. The best way for me to work is on my own terms. It's extremely rare that I am amazed by another human but nature and the universe astonish, stagger and fascinate me constantly; resultingly, I've never needed an imagination.

I eat quite healthily, exercise regularly and plan to live to be ancient although I'll try anything if I'm confident that I'm aware of the potential consequences and accept them. I swear frequently. It's excruciatingly difficult to ruffle my feathers, but you're welcome to try. If you have a question, ask, or you'll never know.

Oh, and if you're interested in having me work for you (web/graphic design, logo development, photography etc) give me a yell.
