I am here for Friends

About Me

Suddenly realised I had this myspace account and had done bugger all with it - time to remedy that methinks.
Love music and will happily give anything a listen, and love anything which is different or experimental. I like music to be something that challenges the listener and has a bit of emotion to it - needless to say I don't listen to much local radio (those from essex will understand the crap available). Check my Last.fm page if you wanna see what sort of stuff I've been listening too.
I'm a certified uni dropout, having managed to last a full 12 weeks at LSE (London School of Economics) before realising there wasn't a chance in hell of me being able to actually complete the degree in the slightest (they lied to us and said we didnt need A-level maths when we did - bastards). Anyways bummed about for a few months whilst looking for jobs and now im training to be an accountant and work in Farringdon in London (spend 3 hours a day commuting, weee!).
Anyways always like meeting new people and chatting about anything under the sun, chat on IRC and MSN for those who use those progs, so if you wanna chat just add me. I waste a large amount of my time trying to do things creative and generally coming up with a load of rubbish, you can see my attempts at photography here .

Im not really into idolising celebs and other random famous people, which is I guess what your expected to put for heroes, most true heroes (people who selflessly help others in dire circumstances) are generally unsung and get little real recognition for it, but they probably know who they are.
