I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I've spent the past 18 months or so either abroad, planning to abroad, or in college... studying people who live abroad (it's supposedly called anthropology). I like to travel, and myself and a mate have a joke race going as to who will be the first to spend at least one day on each of the continents.I can say that without pretention or sounding silly, which should give you an idea of the kind of person I am.If I want to be, I can be extremely pedantic over language (I teach English/ TEFL), but only when working on my website, or being sarcastic and insulting towards people who annoy me. Everyone can talk how they like; I couldn't care less.

My Interests

Bat worship, as some guy remarked when asked to fill in a form about his religion. Politics, politics, more politics, culture, travel, people (read into that what you will), military history, sci-fi, horror and fantasy books and films, and what could be called sccience faction, or that weird stuff that is not yet fact, but could soon be (sorta like the TV in 1800, or a lightbulb for a caveman hehehe)Yoga, to which I could become addicted, and green tea (I could hardly not try it out here in Korea, could I?) for which I've developed a taste.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people. Think of my interests: travel, culture, history, military history, politics, mythology, fantasy, sci-fi, science, soccer, socialising with a group of friends (i.e. my friends, not people who think they are my friends). I like to say what I think, and expect the same from other people. Political correctness and editing what you say before you say it are not necessary in a world of intelligent people with more than an ounce of personality.

Music:

A wide range. :)

Movies:

Braveheart, Michael Collins, LOTR,Predator, the Terminator films, and a load more. Anything by Stephen King, the Fifth Element, X-Men.. LOTS

Television:

The Simpsons, South Park, Father Ted, Fawlty Towers, Bottom.. any of the great Irish and British comedy. Sky News, CNN and Bloomberg. I don't watch all that much TV, and most of it is comedy or news.

Books:

Lots. Anything by Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Bill Bryson, James Herbert and Peter Hamilton.Favourites?The Reality Dysfunction, by Peter Hamilton.Creed, by James Herbert.The lost continent, by Bill Bryson.The Stand, by Stephen King.

Heroes:

Nope

No Halloween for me.

Halloween is cool, cos of the films that get shown on TV, and the odd fancy-dress yoke that might go on. Of course, while I'm from the country that gave the world Halloween, I live in a country that ...
