There's a reason for all this...

About Me

Gah. I Hate this. Having to describe myself in a little box. Well, a few of you will remember me. I joined this site a while ago (for different reasons), and promptly neglected the account. I've recently come back with updated pics etc, as the old one didn't really describe all the changes that have come about in my life. I find it really difficult to describe myself, so I'm sure you can gather enough info to begin with from all those "favourite" questions on the left there.Probably an important update I should have made roughly a year ago: I'm currently living on the Gold Coast of Australia, have been for just over a year now. I periodically take trips back to SA though, so I journey between both. ***** Dispatch Concert! Help support not only a great band but a great cause, all proceeds go to help Zimbabwe!!*****

My Interests

Music. Movies. Guitar. Skateboarding. Random quotes that will probably get people laughing AT me on here. Robert Rankin.

I'd like to meet:

Hey, I'm a pretty friendly guy, so I'm not going to limit myself to a "certain type" that I'd like to meet.
