I am Alan,
Al of D to my friends,
I am a man of simple pleasures,
I like music, movies, playing guitar, and singing.
I like talking on msn. (yes I like msn)
I like spending my Saturdays between the catwalk and the cathouse. Because there's drink there...
I am protective of my friends.
If I think one of my brothers or sisters is in trouble I will go to them no matter the distance to boot fuck out of whatever the trouble is. Friends make my life richer. Make me feel like a million quid even when my wallet contains nothing but moths.
And yes I am a happy person.
I am not ashamed of it. Wearing black and hating your parents doesn't make you metal...
I am a very outspoken person. I like to debate. (notice my lack of the statment argue). I don't like having screaming matches about how crap emo is. I like to discuss. I like to have a mentally stimulating conversation. and in this day and age. The best you can hope for is MSN or the pub!

I don't trust people who have "girls" in their interests.
If you the bit labeled "sexuality" says straight or lesbian. The rest is obvious.
