The ultimate amalgamation of stuff that doesn't/shouldn't go together

About Me

I like bread. And t-shirts. I only eat t-shirt shaped toast and sandwiches ... not really. I'm not a bread or shape snob. Infact, the weirder the shape of bread, the more interesting I feel. So bring it on, dodecahedral bread cutter! Mmmmm ... dodecahedral toast.

My Interests

Stand up comedy, physics, chemistry, electronics, maths, anime, manga, playing music, seeing music n comedy live, blowing stuff up, construction, destruction, reconstruction.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a girl who once had sex with a guy who's dog bit the dog of a guy who peed on his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend's car, which used to belong to a man who once looked like David Bowie that one time when the lights went funny at that party when someone might have slipped everyone some super sugar enriched placebos that everyone thought were acid pills. Then I'd like to punch that guy, because he'd have made that whole bit slightly less ridiculous and stupid then it is now.
