About Me

I'm T(h)om. I'm from Mansfield, a little shithole just north of Nottingham but i'm currently based in Liverpool for university. I'm studying music/pop music at the university of liverpool and i'm about half way through my third year which means all work and no play...still having a laugh tho. My lifes mint. I got good friends. I aint shy. I've got opinions and principles and I'm not adverse to voicing them. I work hard but play harder. I spend a lot of time travelling the length and bredth of this country keeping up with mates from home. I have no idea where my life is gonna go next but i quite like that. I just had possibly the best summer ever, and i spent most of it batfaced with my mates, who just happen to be the coolest fucking people on the planet.

My Interests

music, mainly. its kind of what i do...apart from that I play guitar, I go to the gym whenever i can, I ride mountain bikes, I go to the pub, I go out round liverpool and act like an ass, I sit in my student house doing fuck all, I'm getting a bit into art, I cook, I buy stuff, I drive, I play golf, I ski, I annoy adam lewis at every available oppourtunity and I say I a lot.

I'd like to meet:

People.

Music:

Anything that interests me. I like a lot of stuff; blues, rock and drum n bass mainly but ill give most things a listen. I like music that suits my mood. I cant be arsed with the whole image thing, that closes more doors than it opens. I'm pretty into wierd modernist/post modernist 'classical' music, the way it completely fucks with your ears kind of appeals to me. I like prog and psychadelia. Flavours of the month include The Flaming Lips (as ever), Evil Nine, Bedouin Soundclash, Biffy Clyro, Babyshambles and The Arcade Fire. I like to listen to new stuff.NB If you read the above section closely you will notice that it does not contain the passage 'if you think i will like your band please add me', so dont. I wont accept it. If i like your music i will find it myself and add you myself, i dont need to be spammed.

Movies:

If it makes me think, laugh or is Pulp Fiction i'll watch it....

Television:

Friends, simpsons, hollyoaks, preferably consecutively to completely waste an evening. The Office, Peep Show, Top Gear, MTV, all the music channels, not the biggest tv fan but when theres nothing to do its cool to chill for a few hours....

Books:

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the nightime, cliche i know but a fucking good read. Tommyland, Freakonomics. Micheal Connelly, Ian Rankin and John Grisham are my emergency author's if i find myself on holiday or something and i aint got a book. I dont really have the time to read for fun at the moment, any reading i do seems to be for my degree, sure ill get back into it when im done though...

Heroes:

yeah right.
