About Me

I should really write this when I'm feeling more inspired but that day may never come so here goes...at the moment I love music, friends, randomness (is that a word?), neologisms (incase it wasn't a word), learning, and keeping fit.I like those nights when you sit up all night talking crap with friends. I like making little philosophical breakthroughs in my head...My aims at the moment - read more, learn more and have some fun over, hopefully staying as happy as I have been in the last few months.

My Interests

Music, reading, history, films, travelling, running.

I'd like to meet:

My deteriorating vocabulary.

Soooo....I'm not feeling particularly inspired to write anything today. So I will write about not feeling inspired. It's like I'm tired, and bored but I don't want to sleep or do anything. And I'm los...

Books to read...

I've just finished reading 'Atomised' by Michael Houellebecq. I would highly recommend it even though for three quarters of the book I thought it was really bad. It's very crude, which is fine, but I ...

PAY RESPECT TO THE CAR!!

His name is Harry. He is a blue Beetle. He doesn't like sharp corners, such as those in Tescos carpark. He reacts to this by beeping randomly. He is trying to teach me not to be lazy and to walk ...
