About Me

I'm 25. I have blue eyes. So does the devil (and there's nothing wrong with that). I am a musicians (yes that's right, plural! Amazing, ain't it?). I am in a band called The Dirty Blue, (insert shameless plug here: www.thedirtyblue.com). Yes, yes, I did add myself as friend to my band's Myspace community thingy, and yes it is probably quite inappropriate. Get over it (I did). Ah Lessee, other than music, I love photography (though I am a mediocre photographer at best), ever since I got a 35mm camera (that's right a FILM camera, it's pre-school baby). I shoot in mostly b&w, 'cause I like to develop the film myself, and I just love the nior-ish look of b&w. also like shooting bad video and editing it. You can see some of my editing follies at the aforementioned website under the media section (I enjoy the editing bit a lot more than the shooting bit {bit? what am I british now?}). Wow how about that? Double paretheses! Don't see that everyday! That was great. Well okay, it wasn't great, but... nevermind. If I seem a little weird that's because I'm not. Or something. Anyway, I may give the impression that I talk a lot in this whole "about me" box, but in reality I'm actually pretty quiet, and a little shy. But once you get to know me (and/or get me to drink a little alcohol) I open up a bit (there I go with that damn 'bit' shit again), and can actually be quite passionate about things. Oh, and... ahem, I'm a capricorn and I was born under Uranus! Whew. I am so. So. Sorry...
