Hopeless Case

About Me

..DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"Hi,
I'm Doug, but you knew that. Also known by other names.
Main stats beside the photo and at the bottom on the left.
I'm never happy with how I write any of these "about me" sections, I'm going to end up putting all this in a blog post for anyone who is interested.
Unless you have met me, you cant begin to know me.
I study behavioural science at Abertay Uni in Dundee.
People fascinate me: interactions; behaviour and all that.
Life is fascinating and complex.
I'm not as shy than I used to be.
I work at Tesco Customer Service Centre in Dundee.
I mainly deal with the innjured person forms from people who hurt themselves in Tesco Stores, from the ridiculous amount of people who slip on grapes (or other hazardous fruit & veg), to staff members who fight with cages; to the 9 year olds who fall out trolleys and such like.
We do have a laugh reading them... but some are serious, and we don't laugh.
I'm powered by coffee.
I have a great girlfriend called Sally, she's more of a Bebo girl.
I will come out with seemingly random conversations or thoughts, because sometimes my thoughts become vocal, they're not always linked to the present context though!
I will sing/hum without realising.
I'm left handed.
I'm Scottish and proud of it!
My accent is not as strong as it used to be. Glasgow born and Paisley raised.
I'd like to think I'm a decent mate, I've started to catch up with old friends again and I'm going to keep that up this year.
I try to help my friends when I can, I'm a very good listener, moan at me about things and I will help you if I can with anything, or I'll just listen.
I'm always here for my friends, no problem is too odd for me to help with.
I believe in God, and you know what? I couldn't care less if you don't.
He rules, not you. Face it.
I go to church on Sundays, I'm a Piskie, nick name of Episcopalians.
I'd say I'm fairly liberal, I'm not a stereotypical Christian, not a "bible basher" or whatever you want to call us, its how I choose to live my life, my faith. I won't shove it in your face, want to know why I believe, ask me, but don't ask if all you're going to do is flame me when I answer.
I'm part of the Episcopal Church's 18-25 group, I'm a youth leader at the Youth Week in August.
Church summer camp it may be called, but it is one of the best weeks of my life. I say this all the time but it's true - you really can't understand what this week means to the people who go to it unless you have been yourself.
Music is a major part of my life, but doesn't everyone say that these days?
I play guitar and bass.
I really want to start my own band.
I'm in a band. The A-Bombs. Go listen to us! I play bass.
I try and write music.
I have a secret love of acoustic music, it makes me feel fuzzy.

My Interests
