About Me

Hi! I'm Aran :-D
I love loads of stuff, but I'll pretty much always be happy so long as I have good friends and good music! I'm back in Cardiff and study Television here, which is awesome - and honestly much harder work than it sounds. I'm English, not exactly proud but notably un-Welsh. I'm vegetarian, but I love good food. And I'm pretty happy with things the way they are.
I love nights out, so long as there's lots of bad dancing, but I love quiet nights in too. I love films, especially at the cinema, but don't have a particular genre - if I like it; I like it. That's all. Same with music, but if you want to read the generic "I love everything" go look in the little music section over to the left. I do love what I do though, and I'm always up for trying new things. I apparently have peculiar taste in everything, but I'd say it's just all the stuff i like is secretly awesome, most people just won't admit it :-P
Anyway, I can't much think what else is good to write here, so I'll just leave it to you. Anything you want to know, ask away.
(oh, and AnCafé rock)

My Interests

Days in and nights out, Days out and nights in, Making stuff - anything really, I just enjoy creating. I love discovering new kinds of food and drink, as well as new kinds of entertainment. In a more listy form, I love films, TV, Jesus, Starbucks, Cooking, Lazy Oaf, Ruth McElroy, Cocktails and John Barrowman

I'd like to meet:

I like meeting any new people! I used to have written here that I wanted to meet someone the same as me and someone who's the complete opposite, but I've met people that hit pretty near to those categories now so I'm not so worried...

In terms of celebrities, John and Russel , and Burn Gorman for a bit of face stroking.

you're adamant
so loose-limbed I give in
your bed is warm
the worn springs, the creak of regret

lust is the thief who steals away while we were sleeping

the blinds are drawn
we're intimate strangers
i'm reborn into false dawn
where we've been - i forget

Now saturday's fuss is just small town lust,
it's me
i'm cheated

Now you're doing my head in

A cow says:

Dude.
I have friends? Yay!
