About Me

I seem to spend all my time pretending to work these days. My day job is 'special'. It has the ability to be challenging and boring at the same time, so I try and just look busy. Otherwise I make multimedia CDs and websites and things; doesn't quite earn me enough cash to jack in the day job though! One day soon though... soon...
But I am an expert procrastinator, so who knows!

I don't really know what to write for this bit......

My Interests

Films, TV shows on DVD, books, writing and cats. Cycling every day, Guinness and dicussions. The english language. Having a good night sleep. Getting letters from friends. Finding a fiver in my pocket. New things. Being calm but busy. Archery (by default; My mum's the British Longbow Champion, or something)

I'd like to meet:

People who like sarcasm...!
And the guy who wrote this...

Deftones. Elastica. Eels. Weezer. SuperGrass. Spacehog. Smashing Pumpkins. NIN. Gorillaz. Korn. Longpigs. The Pixies The Goo Goo Dolls. The Wannadies. Terrorvsion. Jimmy Eat World. Iron and Wine.

And a bilion others I might list one day; but probably not.

I'm really looking forward to the Transformers movie, the Ternacious D movie (I've seen the movie now, and it wasn;t very good. oh wel...) , Dark Crytal 2 and Stardust

Television:

And others, which I will most probably not write down at a later date!

Books:

Neil Gaiman is my Fav author at the moment. Fragile things is his most recent novel and it's was awesome. Stardust is probably my favourite.
Generally, I should read more...
