About Me

My name is John Collins. I live in Glasgow, Scotland. I'm left of centre on most things, but am very passive and easy going. I spend my money on records and going to gigs, and holidays to Germany, Amsterdam and California. I'm planning a trip to Egypt soon and would also like to visit Boston one day.I really like dressing up when the occasion arises. I am tattooed and pierced and find both these a turn-on.Favourite gals would be Talena (ex-Kittie), Juliette Lewis or Thora Birch, good girls who know how to be bad.
Your Personality Is Like Cocaine
You're dynamic, brilliant, and alluring to those who don't know you.
Hyper and full of energy, you're usually the last one to leave a party.
Sometimes your sharp mind gets the better of you... you're a bit paranoid! What Drug Is Your Personality Like?
