About Me

Who am I? I'm Spiderman!Spiderman I'm not but his name is Peter, my name is Peter, so we have something in common. How many people can say they have something in common with Spiderman?I'm quite shy really, and at times extremely quiet. You're likely to find me reading books, listening to music or watching DVD's and ok, I admit it, a little bit of TV.I was a nerd at school and often at times I'm still seen as a nerd for the simple fact that I'm not into "Cool" things such as Hip Hop, action movies or parties.I don't mind the nerd tag as I'm quite happy being a nerd, it means that I'm me and that's all I want to be.Let's see, My favourite candy is M&Ms with Skittles coming in a very close second. My favourite drink is Coke Zero. Favourite music is Rock/Metal, Classical and of course Singer Songwriters.My favourite concerts have been Dido and Sarah Mclachlan in 2004, and Sarah Mclachlan and R.E.M in 2005.What do I want out of life? It's a hard question but maybe one day to find that true love that I've been searching for.I think that's it.Be happy, smile and thankyou for getting to know me a bit better.
