About Me


I'm finally there.
learn. dream. live.
I am a walking contradiction, and in all seriousness, I frequently confuse myself. Every new day of my life I'm different to how I was the day before, my personality fluctuates constantly and my head is generally a chaotic, senseless mess of ideas and emotions.
But, these days, I'm sort of fine with that :)
I accept I'll probably never understand. Perhaps it's more interesting that way.
Yes Please
a certain Mister Alexander J. Newbury
weekends in London
"skins" parties
road trips
long, hot bubble baths
tuesday nights at Porthouse
kerrang and hot chocolate on Wednesdays
late-night Chinese takeaways
slow, solitary walks round Hartsholme lake
geeking out
unintentionally long emails
epic drunken mid-party chats on climbing frames
inside jokes
casual conversations about multi-dimensional string theories, parallel universes, chaos, black holes, and determinism
Caffé Nero.
my friends.

My Interests

Only one or two things beat going to gigs.

it was at this gig that I was given a much-needed reminder about how good it is to live.

and this one still probably remains the best night of my life.

for those with ADD:
art, music, books, writing, Alex, friends.

for those with no life, therefore time to read about mine:
travelling (through time and space...only joking. I wish.), drunken kisses, sarcasm, astronomy, philosophising, history, science, adventures, the cinema, gigs, nostalgia, drawing/painting/inking, playing the piano/attempting the guitar, photographs, piercings, tattoos, prime numbers, shopping, SUBWAY!!!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone on my top friends who I haven't seen recently.

him again please?

wouldn't really mind bumping into him someday, either.

God incarnate, aka Matthew Bellamy.

Well let's go back to the middle of the day that starts it all
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now the red ones make me fly, and the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling

And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall
Fall on your tongue like pixie dust
Just think happy thoughts
We'll fly home.


the original lost boy.

a baby panda, because they make me squee with adorableness.

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
People to stargaze with.

Apparently, your brain is capable of having more ideas than the number of atoms in the known universe.
People who care about the intrinsic beauty of the imagination, and don't waste their mind's amazing potential.

This man, everyday for the rest of my life.
"Before you, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars-points of light and reason. ...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty."

Music:



other than those two, my favourite bands/songs change pretty much every day.
......although I have a sustained interest in David Bowie, The Cure, and System of a Down.

Loud, heavy scary music to scream and mosh to.
Punk and pop punk for those cheerful "fuck you" moments.
Sexy r'n'b stuff with a good beat, fun upbeat rock, and 80s pop to "dance" to after a few too many.
Ska to skank to :)
Acoustic stuff, melodic soft rock and grunge for when I'm feeling melancholy or introspective.
Classic rock for an epic sing a long to.
I dabble in a little classical, jazz and anything with crazyfast piano solos in.

...and a bit of Wizard Rock. Because I'm just that cool.

"without music, life would be a mistake."
clever person, that Nietzsche.
