About Me

Having A Constantly Better Profile Song Than You, Since 2005
"Well, flu jab, yes please, jab it in my brain,
so I'll never have another sick thought again.
Flu jab, yes please, jab it in my brain,
so I'll never have another sick thought again.
Ohh... another sick thought...
And everyone sings: Happy songs, about happy people,
are never gonna change the world.
But then neither will this, so let's get pissed, and kiss the night away.
For fuck's sake, somebody hype me[!]
I wanna see the look on the fanzines' faces when I tell them,
I'm only in a band to score gash, I'm only in a band...
Guitar: I hum, I scream, I dance for quick cash. Guitar: I hum, scream, dance!
Behold! The projection of a rusted heart.
Behold! The bodies masquerading as art.
We can choke the breath right out of you!
(Don't tell the girlfriends I can't play)
(Don't tell the boyfriends where my hands strayed)
And everyone sings,
'Our CD for president, 'No talent at all evident',
Our CD for president, 'No talent at all evident...'"
No Talent At All... [/obscure quote]
Anywho, I digressed a bit there...
I Have This Page To Tell You My Life Story
Well, that's not going to happen as my life is bigger than MySpazz
But I will give you some clues.
I Like Indie Music.
A Lot.
I'll argue anyone down about music.
I'm quite the Music-Nazi.
If I'm asked, your music taste is rubbish unless I say otherwise.
If you don't know what song is playing on my profile,
You are no meant to know - It wasn't written for you.
Come back when you've done some homework.
I'm a typical Indie Kid in many, many ways.
The above being one of them.
I know this.
To be honest, It doesn't bother me.
And yes, please read the above
- and in fact most of this page -
with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
I Play Up To Many Online Cliches.
You do too.
Don't deny it.
You'd be lying if you said otherwise.
I Finally Moved Out Of Sussex.
To be honest I know I am very lucky to be brought up where I was.
Horsham was voted the second best place to live in the country.
Thing is, it harboured a lot of middle class stupidity and naivity.
When I turned about 16 I started to realise there is a bigger world out there.
I am at Queen Mary, University of LDN,
Reading Drama
And learning to be an Out-Of-Work-Actor. - Yes it is Hard Work!
I'll probably become a teacher to pay off my debts - "Lock up your children!"
I Straighten My Hair
And I Wear Make-Up
Neither of which are very good.
You may not like that. Neither do I.
And that applies to both points.
I'm currently waiting for parts to grow out.
Funny how long it takes, when you want it to grow!
I can out-dance ANYONE at a party
Fact
Whack on some 8-bit, and I'll be away...
You won't catch me for the cloud of dust I'll be kicking up.
You're foolish enough to think I'm embarrasing myself; but in truth,
you're the embarrasment for not letting go of those pathetic inhibitions.
"You're a room full of friends, right?
Then D.A.N.C.E!
If you're scared of them judging you, they're not proper friends.
"You're in a room full of strangers, right?
Then D.A.N.C.E!
You probably won't see the ugly fcukers again anyway!"
Dancing Rule 1:
There are NO RULES FOR DANCING!
Dancing Rule 2:
"Did You Not Read?"
People tell me they don't want to do it wrong.
There is no right and wrong.
Only what feels right...Like masterbation.
I dance like I'm being electrocuted.
The music goes straight to earth, via my spine,
like a shock from a malfunctioning GameBoy.
I duck my head down, point my toes, contort my arms and wrists,
flail my fringe like I'm scything through crops.
and I always keep one foot on the floor.
No jumping for me, the moving foot jabs at the floor
like it's kicking a child molesting clergyman.
For me, it's all about stiffness. Rigidity.
Like a pre-pubescent boy's first erection.
Sort of...OK, bad analogy...
I'm Also One Of Those Annoying People That Dances At Gigs
Gosh, that's right!
That boy that jogged you when you were standing motionless,
camera phone in hand at the front at that gig?
That was me!
Sorry!
re; Facebook
Many people I meet coment on me having a Facebook account.
Yes, people actually take an interest...God forbid!
Truth be told,
I don't need more reasons to spend time in front of a computer.
If, and I can't think why you would,
want to speak to me, get my number, OK?
It starts with 07!
A Few More Things You Should Know:
I don't have star tattoos.
I don't have my lips pierced.
I don't have my hair dyed black.
I don't have a SCENExMullet. They look aweful.
I don't have a square fringe.
I don't do other people's hair.
I don't have a white belt.
I don't have VIP and AP in my name because I'm not vain or perfect.
I don't like HelloKitty
I don't pretend to like hideously heavy grindcore to get your approval.
I don't think I'm BR3T4wl, and also...
I don't think you're BR3T4wl, either!
I don't edit my pictures.
I don't put "No Edit" under those pictures.
I don't have jeans as tight as you. You're fatter than I am.
I don't, however have an eating disorder.
I don't think MySpace is amazing.
I don't think MySpace is shit.
I don't have as many MySpace friends as you; yes, you, because I'm clearly not as cool as you, am I?
You're cool for being on FriendStorm. But I collect friends the proper way.
Oh, and I didn't get hacked at 74.3K
Don't Believe Me?
Ask My Mum
That's What I'm Not,
Let's Talk About What I Am:
I am a genuine person.
I am a friendly person.
I am a good friend.
I am a good listener.
I am a poncy Drama Poof/Student.
I am a Post Modernist(Or am I?)
I am a Music Lover.
I am a Mountain Biker in disguise.
I am a life-long Scout.
I am a terrible Guitarist.
I am extremely open minded.
But I am still a boy.
Don't Abuse Those Last Ones...
Contary to popular belief, it would seem,
I am NOT arrogant
Brush the surface faux-bravado away,
And you will see I am hideously self concious
And Shy...
I like to think
I'm nice "When you get to know me..."
Many People Tell Me I Seem Like An Honest Person
And they'd be right.
I want to use this space to tell you as much about me as I can.
How else are you meant to judge me?
You're halfway through: By now you should be coming to your own opinion.
However,
Don't think by reading this you have an understanding of me...
For a start, you're only skim-reading, aren't you?
I Can Be The Most Wonderful Person You'll Ever Meet,
Or Not, If You So Choose
Enough said.

Is Your New Year's Resolution

Â£>

It's going to be the new <3, it's even easier to type.
I was officially the first person to do it.
I hereby invite others to join me in this revolution

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Firstly, I'm not too keen on people like this:
People tHat tlK lYk ThS 4 nO REaS0N,
People that speak in "Gangsta" Speak,
Or Text speak. Think about that one. You have all the time in the world to write what you want to me. There's no need to try and abbreviate it. Maybe you would in a text message, but don't when you speak to me now.
Other pointless expression include, lol, lolz, omg, OMGZZZ, hawt, holla, gawd, nukka, (Y), FTW, ...innit

And Another Thing:
People, mainly girls it has to be said, that pose in their pictures with their fingers, or even their whole hands up by their mouths in order to look like they're thinking or just have an IQ in double figures, really hack me right off. GO back to Bebo.

I Drink Alcohol In Extreme Moderation
I don't binge. It's unhealthy and makes you look cheap.
In fact, I'm virtually straight edge.
But with added sex life and minus the stupid hardxcore image.
I don't know why I have such an issue with drunkeness, there's just something there that I feel uncomfortable with.
Repsect my feelings, and I'll respect the fact you're sad enough to think that you have to be one unit away from vomitting to have a good time.
Despite that, my body has an unusually high tolerance to alcohol; spirits have little effect on me, and I do enjoy a nice glass of red wine, decent vodka and well prepared absinthe.... But not at the same time of course!

I would like to meet nice people that share similer music interests, maybe like Drama and Literature. If you can write nicely, and speak like your Mummy would want you to, then the chances are we will get along.
Regardless of gender, I'd like to get to know you. I do have MSN, but get to know me on here first.
I'm not interested in people that try to pass themselves off as celebrities, so if your picture is not you, I probably won't add you. There will, of course, be exceptions, but I sort that out.

If you don't get a reply from me straight away, it is because I am bogged down by the ridiculous amounts of mainly friend requests from complete strangers I get. I don't "do" MySpace very much. Yes, I am online nearly everyday, but that doesn't mean I have the time to answer the few (and yeah, it's only a few) [blog, photo]comments and messages I get. I do my best to eventually get round to every one of you, so if I don't, just give me the heads up and I will do my best to say Hi.
Giving the boring old "Thanks for the add" comment takes up a lot of time, so if you add me and want me to talk to you straight off, write something to accompany the request or a few lines in a message. Give me something to take an interest in and I'll jump to it, trust.

If you don't get accepted by me, it means one of two things:
You Are A) A Complete Tool (Refer to the above),
Or B) Underage, as I believe in keeping kids safe on the Internet.
I have two younger sisters, and know how important security is.

Mostly, however; I believe everyone has the potential to be a beautiful person.

I will not put "Add Me, Add Me" posts on your page.
I will not "whore" you, or expect you to "whore" me.
Whore yourself, you whore!

This Girl Is Everything To Me
She doesn't believe me when I say that
And to be honest I can't blame her.
But it's the truth and nothing else will change it
I haven't been the most perfect person
But I intend to put everything right.
Without her I am less than nothing, with nothing to live for.

Georgina, you are everything to me
I would die for you if you asked it of me.

Retort

I laugh very wholly at hatemail, then I share it with the world on my blog.

If You've Got This Far, Congratulations
And Thank You.
My Name Is Adam,
Adam G Manningâ„¢.
You may not like me.
You may think I am an absolute idiot.
And I don't blame you - many do.
But for every spiteful comment,
And for every person trying to pick apart what I've written,
Nine others realise I am the best thing to come out of my Mother in 19 years.

Not a bad average...
