You will find me in the Solid.
I'm a friendly person, so don't give me attitude if I talk to you.
You may see me and think i belong in a cocktail bar.
You may see me and think i belong in a rehab clinic.
I'm an extremely lucky person, and I'm grateful for it.
I make friends easily, and lose them easily.
Give me a reason to hang around, or I won't. Usually.
I write more blogs than is reasonable.
I'm sure there's a feckin book in there somewhere ;)
My life takes "random" changes in direction on a regular basis.
Turns out these aren't random at all.
Life is looking after me, and I just realised it (3/4/07).
I've tied myself to a lifestyle I thought I wanted, but don't.
Next change of direction coming up.
Version Zero is upon you now.
I love driving, and miss having a car.
I love wandering around places I don't know with only my ipod for company.
I'm a proficient speed skater and I love it.
You can be a follower, or a leader.
Or you can just do what you do.
I have the most amazingly vivid imagination, I love it.
I know life is more than what you think you know.
I enjoy a nice cocktail.
I fall over EVERYTHING when I'm drunk.
I say a lot of things that make sense to very few people.
I'm a naturally creative person no matter how much I run from it.
I could be quite mad, but I'll take my chances...
I've heard you only live once.
There are no sane people: only ones who understand what you just said.
I'm a fan of jumping into things right at the really deep end.
I rock like a muthafuckin hurricane.
I love being alive, but sometimes hide it well.
I stick two fingers up at anyone who says they're "alternative" just because they wear the same clothes and listen to the same bands and go to the same places and act the same way as all their friends do. That's not alternative - that's AVERAGE. And average I aint.

My Interests

Virtual Solid!!!
randomness -noun: "1.the act of partaking in extremely enjoyable activities with no predefined purpose or aim, other than for the reason that they can be done, and therefore, will. 2.an act of changing the universe by interspersing seemingly pointless information and action throughout time and space thereby breaking restrictions.
The only things I really need are for my family and friends to be safe, a roof over my head, and rock n fuckin roll.
I've been round the block of life a few too many times, experimented with most things, and done some exploration. Now I'm back where I'm supposed to be and I'm taking on the world!!
I hunt down gigs at every opportunity. I started playing the guitar again on 2nd November 2006 and am playing every day for the rest of my life. Since writing that I've quit and un-quit more times than I can count. But I've un-quit enough times to know it's a lifelong addiction whether I like it or not... On 5th November 2006 I decided I'm also going to be a photographer *of some description* and have put a bunch of stuff from my past lives onto ebay to finance this. I spent the previous 7 years getting into debt and am currently working my ass off as a litigation paralegal so I can be out of it as soon as humanly possible. I've got myself into the part time LLB at Strathclyde Uni and finish that in 3 years. I don't want to be a lawyer, but this is gonna be ultimately useful, and I know why I did it. I wanted to be a prosecutor, out of personal vengeance. Studying criminal law in depth has rid me of any demons I had regarding "that" incident. I spend a lot of time in the Solid nattering with likeminded jager addicts. I've been on a self-destruct mission for 18 years and my entire life has just unravelled. You have NO idea how happy I am about this. Actually... you might do. If you've been there - you'll know it :)
