Literature - French, Russian, English, it's all good, punk, hardcore, obscure 80s and 90s US indie rock bands, metal, cycling, walking, deadlifts, bench pressing, squats and generally hauling heavy-ass weights about, history, anarchism, philosophy, cultural and literary theory, solitude, current affairs and politics, situationism, healthy food, musing, brown rice, stargazing, cynicism, hanging with my friends, all the usual stuff really, blah blah... oh yeah, I'm a cat person innit
If you don't know me and have never spoken to me, I'd prefer it if you could message me first BEFORE you add me. Thanks.If you're looking to add me solely to increase your friend count, DON'T BOTHER. It's not a popularity contest and I don't want to be just another number on your list. Think on that. Don't waste my time or yours.
I WON'T ACCEPT ADDS FROM ANY BANDS, SO REFRAIN FROM TRYING TO ADD ME, IT'S VERY ANNOYING

I don't however generally go in for big Hollywood blockbuster-type stuff, on the whole I find it to be patronising drivel
