*such a perfect colour for your eyes*

About Me

Howdo, im nic/noodle/Britain.Moved out to Canada from England to persue my addiction and passion for animation. Im taking Animation Tradigital at St.Clair College and thoroughly loving it! Terrified as a little foreign mouse in this country, i've had my fair share mental breakdowns and homesickness... but i duno, i pick up my pencil and it all floats away, although i'm constantly intimidated by the skill and talent of those around me.Ok things you should know about me... I somewhat dislike Michael Schumacher and I adore Maynard James Keenan.I enjoy the consumption of lots of beer and couldnt survive without music. Roll on Download 2008 baby... it will be mine oh yes... it will be mine.I ADORE TOOL!!! Saw them live at Download '06 and more recently in Detroit Rock City baby! I've seen A Perfect Circle twice *grins* - i saw maynards bum :p...I have many addictions; under Tool the main one being Formula One, except for schumacher, he's a bum... as I previously mentioned ha. I guess thats not an issue anymore though! Mclaren all the way!!! As much as i despised Schumacher with his stupid upside down smile... I miss Kimi fighting for the right team - "KIMI YOU DONT SUIT RED". Got me a new boy now though in the way of Hamilton... kick ass!Couldnt live without my english comedies... they make me feel at least a little bit at home - such as SPACED n' good ol' Red Dwarf:"I do a damn fine moon impression!"Not all american tv is horrific...i am rather partial to Scrubs, Lost and family guy cuz peter griffin is the daddy:"I know you're a feminist hunni and i think thats adorable..." ha!...My addiction to Scrubs is actually the downfall of my artistic talent haha - I adore how that show can have me in fits of laughter then in tears the next minute - genius.Coming out here was the scariest and lonliest thing i have ever done... but i had my few little saviours who came to rescue me from my selfdestruction, and i owe them my sanity :).Canadians mock the way i talk... bastards. I guess not all hope is lost - at least i'm closer to Maynard ;).Anyway, ive rambled for long enough, im off to make a brew... want one :)?
