About Me

What's not to like?
Lately... I love documentaries so much. I feel guilty that I don't live simply enough but buying things is just too nice. I clearly have too much choice and a slight problem with decision making. I have high standards which I assume others have too then I wonder what on earth is wrong with people when it turns out they actually mustn't have them after all. I'm bored of bland or foolish people. I love geeks and wish I was more of one with expert knowledge in many wonderous things. I like to learn new stuff so teach me things if you have chance. Especially BMX/skate/fixed gear bike related things... I like comparing and contrasting and playing the 'which would you rather' game. Alot. Being laid back is the way forward but I'm very particular so it can be tricky. Lies, sneaks and let downs make me judgemental and sometimes angry. More is enough.
Here's some things I hate...
short tops and shrinkage, performance art, obesity, people standing on my feet, people who ask questions but don't listen to the answer, arsey insecure people, boot cut, sucking up, fronts with no reality behind them, smart dress, inconsistency, fake tan, when there is no draught beer in a bar/pub, poor spelling, credit/loan/debt adverts, comic sans, saturday night entertainment TV, social obligations.
If you want to add me you should send me a message as i like good manners.
