Hello, I'm Jon.
These things are horrible to write, who knows what to say? Countless thoughts going through your head: "does writing this make me sound like a pretentious wank? Does anyone actually care?" You know, so bleh. Here goes.
I try to be as a good a person as I can be, which usually means bending over backwards to do as much for the people I care about as possible. This is something that makes me happy, and I doubt I'll ever change. Take advantage though, and you'll know about it. I think honesty is something that is important, so I try to be as honest as possible. It can mean that I'm a little blunt but I never try to be offensive. I like to think that I'm very easy-going and a lot of fun to be around. I love nothing more than going out with friends, getting drunk and dancing to random music. The bond you have with people when you're off your face bouncing to The Proclaimers is like nothing else. The unspoken appreciation... it's special. Going to gigs is something I do too often, yet not enough. Some of the best gigs I've been to are Bad Religion, Sage Francis, Flogging Molly, Tool and Propagandhi. I've even been known to travel to Edinburgh on my own to see gigs. I'm dedicated, man.
I currently a student at Glasgow University studying Computing Science. I'm in 3rd year. As well as being a student I have a part-time job at Tesco Metro in Glasgow City Centre. It's not bad at all, it's not the hardest job in the world, it pays reasonably well and you can get a good laugh out of it. That's if you ignore the junkies and prostitutes than come in at 10pm on a Sunday night. My other responsibility is that I'm on the Board of Management at the Queen Margaret Union. You may hear me bitching about this, but I love it really and it's helped me grow as a person. I've met some really amazing people here, too.
Anyway, here are some things I like (in no order):
Music, Keeping busy, friends and family, drinking, Glasgow, girls, hugs, honesty, sarcasm, genuine modesty.
Things I dislike:
Hangovers, arrogance, unnecessary pressure, lies, commercialism.
