About Me

Where to start? I'm 22, Australian and hope to one day be a writer/musician/wealthy person. I play guitar in a band, Afterburner, and I make my own guitars. I'm studying to be a lab technician at TAFE (Tech college), which wll eventually lead into the proper sciences, eventually majoring in Mad Science, which will hopefully lead to total global domination. Unless Batman has anything to say about it, then I'm pretty much fucked. I love British TV, American guitars, German Beer, Scandanavian metal and Japanese cars.
Feel totally free to add me, if you're a real person, not a stupid bot or marketing scheme. We all get barraged with too much advertising as it is.
Hopefully this convenient, easy-to-use and rather contrived survey form should shed some light:
Note: I will not accept friend requests from bands/artists who I don't know or like. Nothing personal, I've just got tons to listen to ATM. I'll DEFINITELY not accept requests from "WNAT 2 GET LAID 2NITE?!?!?!???!!!111ONEONE" bullshit.

Finally Free (Apologies to Dream Theater)

Okay, so I finally finished the first draft of my script, Stormcrow and Starspear. It's been a long, painful ride, fueled by caffeine, prog rock and the capricious habits of the Muse. It's funny, wh...
