GIVE ME THE TIME OF DAY, I'LL GIVE YOU THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE

About Me

ok, about me. first off, i need to re-sort my profile out. i'm kris, i'm 28 at the moment. i go out Clubbing with my friends. i generally go to techno nights. i used to do metal nights but i got sick of cliche songs by marilyn manson, nine inch nails, system of a down, pantera etc being played. these bands have done better songs than the ones that get played week in/week out, but these 'individual' metallers of today don't realise that everything in the mainstream metal world has become cliche driven and is no longer fresh. learn to think outside the box kids. i am into exotic pets. i am slowly building up a collection. i have a chillean rose tarantula, a leopard gecko, an african toad, a Californian Kingsnake and my awesome bearded dragon. i am hoping to extend my collection to have a scorpion, some red eyed tree frogs and some dart frogs too. i also have a small tropical fish tank, and i'm looking after pull up a groves cat.

My Interests

i am a geek, and i occasionally paint warhammer 40k figures. yes granted i favour space marines but every time i think of picking the game up, i think about what is easy to paint. then i remember how boring doing the same thing over again is. i go fishing every so often. sorry, but catching a big fish is actually a bit of a buzz. i keep exotic pets, Erm, i have a small amount of top trump cards that i'm hoping to make bigger. i used to be into comics but i've got a bit lax on that. i used to collect figurine toys but i can't afford that anymore. i also do poi and diabolo. i'm not saying that i'm any good at them, but i have the attitude that i don't want to become complacent with what i can do, i want to keep learning untill there is nothing left for me to learn. i do have a set of juggling balls and a staff but my main focus is on my poi and diabolo at the moment

I'd like to meet:

People i already know and people who want to be email friends. In particular, friendly cybers, metallers and body mod freaksdue to the influx of people that are sending me friends requests that ar actually just promoting their profile editor or .. gambling site and having a virus on their profile so that when you try to delete them you get one of your other friends deleted instead, I am now only accepting friends who accompany a request with a message.I AM NOT A NUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Music:

i'm not the worlds most unprovincial minded person, but i at least i give stuff a try. i listened to nirvana and r.e.m too much as a kid. when i finally got into music i went into punk. i didn't find alternative clubs till 18, due to living so far from leeds. slowly i got into metal, mainly because of my friends tastes. i went to alternative nights for something like 8 years. i slowly started going to dance nights. well when i say that, i go to the west indian centre. i'm hoping to get out some more clubs, but underground dance nights sadly cost more than i can pay. maybe one day

Movies:

i like something that isn't just explosions and slow motion flipping martial arts. i like stuff by david lynch, david chronenberg, clive barker, kevin smith. i generally like stuff from stephen king books, sci fi, horror, stuff that actually makes your brain ticks, most things that are different and don't fit the mold- cult drama, comedy, sci fi etc

Television:

i watch a lot, but it's mostly trying to avoid the crap. luckily, weed nulls the pain. to be honest, i don't religiously follow anything but heroes and scrubs at the moment. peep show when it's on, my name is earl too. nothing else really gets put on unless it's a desperate search for whatever

Books:

i sadly find it hard to read books. i've read fear and loathing, trainspotting, porno, 2001-2061, do androids dream of electric sheep.

Heroes:

i honestly don't know. i guess hunter s thompson just because he didn't stop being himself for anyone. sad to say it, but my brother because he's been through some of the hardest of times, even as a new born baby. people who have struggled against lifes odds yet can laugh at jokes that are even about them. the hardest thing is to accept humour that denominates even the very person you are.

My snake escaped

I got up this morning to find that my snake has escaped from his tank, even though the lid was on. I think he somehow managed to get out during the night. There are holes all over the house and the ar...

Break my heart

Don't you hate it when you meet someone, get on with them amazingly, as in spending £30 of credit in a week just chatting to them and think that they are the most amazing person ever (appologies to an...
