About Me

Hi, I'm Nikolai. I'm the epitome of good taste, impeccable manners, debonair style, sparkling wit, generosity, heroic exploits and all round alpha male behaviour...I am also a compulsive liar and delusional fantasist.Seriously though, if you know me, you'll know what I'm all about. And if you don't, wow, the exciting voyage of discovery is just beginning! 'nuf said.

My Interests

People who have the ability to communicate with some degree of depth and intelligence, but who are also capable of totally mindless stupidity and inane banter. Folks I already know and newbies, it's all good.Just wanna say quick: I won't add anyone who doesn't at least come and say hello too, even if you look like the biggest babe in, er, babesville. You're more than welcome to come and say hi, and that's always cool, it's just that I've had so many randoms trying to add me lately and I've just about had my fill of internet loonies. Cheers.
