I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a fun loving guy who's a freak about music, movies and the telly!I don't have much in the way of hobbies, but I do a bit of writing; song lyrics and stories. I have a healthy social life, on and off line. I like nothing better to go out for a drink with quality company.I've met a great many friends through my fan worship of the band Marillion. Sometimes being a "freak" is a great way to be!I'm currently attempting to learn the guitar, on my own, so it's a little tough going.I'm part way through my first television screenplay, which won't be for submission, yet, but is more for practice.I try to be fair with my myspace contacts, but anyone abusing the Bulletins by posting constant, useless, viral messages will be deleted. If you want to tell me something about yourself, PM me or pick up the phone. I don't need to know what you ate for breakfast or if blue is your favourite colour. ;o)

ADD THIS BAND!
