About Me

i'm at drama skool: i spent a major part of the first term learning how to be an otter. accurately. awesome.
i'm the eldest of three.
i have trouble with responsibility
i'm transparent but often mis-read
you will never get your hands on my Lucky Charms.
or Haribo
or or or... anything tasty and nice that i dont have enough of.
other than that i love to share ; ).
i hate being poor but can't get a job to save my life
im blatantly alchoholic
i smoke too much but have never had a cigarette in my life
i love dancing...
unconventionally...
but better than anyone.
i come across arrogant but i'm not really.
i have a bad habit of playing up to people's misguided expectations just for kicks
im often mean to people i've just met bcos im nervous
i'll do anything for my friends.
i can be such a faggy little drama pansy but i enjoy it so wot u gonna do : D.
i like warm squidgy people
i got a big mouth and i never back down. i love "healthy debate". and arguing.
i'm full of useless information.
i wink and stick my tongue out when i run out of things to say.
people who don't give a shit wat people think are incredible, but can't seem to be able to do it myself : (.
i like free trains
i cant ignore music. good or bad it always gives me a visceral, physical reaction.
i like long words but can never remember any at the right times.
i'm shit at improv.
and anything that needs good reactions.
except parkour for some bizarre reason, i go into some weird spider-sense mode.
i tend to stare.
i knock drinks over. a lot.
i love to sing to people and tell em stories.
i've got my wife picked out but i'm single. go figure.
i love american pancakes
and burgers. (mmmmmmmmmm... burgers...)
i'm halfway between bart and homer.
i love dogs and hate cats cos they're clearly bastards.
i HATE to be left out of stuff.
i love baggy trousers
and cartoons
and anything larger-than-life
i'm a major shareholder in an internet company
i tend to hermitise but not out of choice. im lazy.
i think honour is really important.
