Animals are brilliant, especially Wobbegongs,and other marine gems.Play computer games, not as much as i would like too, but still probally more then i should.I like books, i had a stint as a librarian for 2 years. libraries are a strange and magical place.
I like smelling like lush.I like walking around seaside resorts and going on adventures with my trusty sidekick Ewan, havent stumbled across a totoro yet, but theres still time.

Books:
I read loads, dont know where to start.
classics like Doug Adams, Salinger.Pete Benchley, John Burnside was an odd read, susannah jones is too. The one book i read nearly every year is the Great Gatsby, must be the tiny hope for romance iv got left (i wrote that statement before i met Ewan).Im really liking Lemony Snicket and Kathy Reichs books too.
Main books i read are full of pictures however. I LOVE COMICS. Batman, nightwing, huntress, birds of prey, (pretty much all Gothamites), Superman, green arrow,Preacher,Adrian Tomine, Daniel Clowes , 32 stories, Frank millers stuff, Sin city and Punisher. Alan Moore stuff, Y:The last man ,Hellblazer,Killing Joke.2oooAD, Fables ,walking dead,transmetropolitan, spidey too, tried to get into Sandman by Gaiman but i got annoyed during book 5, iv given that a rest for a while.
Collins Guide to the Seashores of Great Britain got me through my degree.
Heroes:
My Family for consistantly being bloody hilarious and loving, and not minding me turning up on the doorstep in my mid twenties with no where else to go.
My cat Pickle got on the bus to Beverley once, that was amazing!
Oh Bruce Lee.
Sarah Connor and Riply.
Barbara Gordon (thats the original batgirl by the way, later the oracle), even Paralysis didnt stop her.
And the mighty Randell from Clerks, my customer service inspiration
