About Me

Large as life and twice as repulsive.

My Interests

Flickr Growing my fringe, long showers, key-lime pie, speaking about myself, listening to people speak about me, not listening to anything that doesn't concern me and hair [not just mine...anyone with good hair is fine by me]

In The Words of Leo Sayer...

"Should I walk away, or follow my soul?" A good question Mr Sayer, but I can't help but think that the former option will lead to a broken heart and very little happiness at all.  The latter coul...

My Mind is a Mysterious and Disturbing Place

So you all know that "I haven't got a job" aspect of my life.  Seems I never shut up about it.  So with all this free time I have, it means I have a lot of time to ponder certain "issues".&n...

Something Odd

So I finally got fed up of the skin smell, and went for a shower.  I thought whilst I was there and standing around quite bored, I should go for the old weigh-in.  Turns out I've lost about ...
