About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
I tend to be a little random at times but it's all gravy. I also enjoy the wit of sarcasm. It may be said to be the lowest form of wit but damn it's funny. I like to drink, drink and some more. Make mine a double vodka and orange. There's just no point wasting time with singles! I'm a Uni student at Sussex Uni in Brighton Generally my life involves too much time doing stuff for the University radio station. I get dug in to all aspects from production to marketing, interviewing and djing. I've also done a bunch of work experience at various places, surprisingly expensive to do but I enjoy it and the drinking. My parents live in the middle east in a funny little country called Qatar which garuntees me holidays throughout the year to somewhere sunny. I also like jetting off to America as I have dual citizenship. Having two passports is useful for picking the shortest queue. I like heading to gigs as much as possible, although money doesn't allow that as much anymore but if I like a band I'll travel far and wide to see them. I also spend my weekends working at Habitat for a bit of extra cash to fund the gigs, thankfully the people are wicked as the job isn't always.

What was the last thing you saw at the theatre? Rent when I was in New York.
What was the last movie you watched? I think it was Chocolat.

Qatar for Christmas
