Scott

Brilliant and ludicrous - I am the efficient mess.

About Me

This page is about me. I'm nothing fancy. I am a GEEK, and proud of it. I don't want to be PART of something. Instead, I'm spending as much of my life as possible trying to MAKE something of my own. I don't need drugs to make the world seem like a better place, or to make my life seem more exciting, fulfilling or worthwhile. This page isn't here to attract more friends. I don't need any more friends. The friends I keep are the most important people in my life. There are no weeds in my garden.

Revelations

This will be a list of new cool things I have discovered (I'll add to this over time).

I love to sing! Never really saw myself as a singer but more and more I find myself chanting away (Doesn't mean I'm any good).

You know when you get chicken noodle soup and there's always those wee spring onions floating on top? I LIKE those! I like nibbling them before I fire into the noodles!

Snooker is mega! My gran is the only other one who understands. We sit and watch it and talk all fancy and everyone else in the room doesn't have a clue what we're on about!

I have recently acquired a taste for Guinness. A few months ago I would have gagged at the taste of any light beer but god help me i love the stuff!

I like Warhammer. Wull and I halfed in for a starter pack. I am now the proud owner of 3 Dwarven regiments (He got smelly goblins)! We sat up till 5am one night painting them. If that makes us sad then so be it!

I can now play accordion! Apparently.

My Interests

Things I Like:

Jane Black

Composing and recording for my band, doodling, going to the cinema, interesting beards, laughing at other people, Jack Daniels, everything about guitars, Billy Connolly, Cadburys' cream eggs, camping trips, driving at night, porridge, The Solid Rock Cafe, science fiction, 90 degree angles, instant noodles, afternoons playing pool..........

Things I Hate:

All forms of racism and prejudice, emo scum, people who think they're brilliant when it's blatantly obvious that they're a lot of old crap.

I fucking DISPISE cigarettes. I hate everything about them. And I'm fast running out patience with the stupid bastards who smoke them.

I'd like to meet:

Worthwhile people who like music. I like discovering new bands.

My Blog

My brain used to work so well........

Just remembered I had this saved somewhere. I wrote this when I was in college as a creative writing piece so it doesn't really count as a poem. We had to pick a subject: in this case, "secrets",...

I've had enough.

My last blog went off on a bit of a rant but now I really mean the things I said tenfold. I can't stand sitting around feeling like that any longer. My life keeps turning in directions I don't want to...

I'm bored of all this bordom.

I've been in a state of limbo for the past few weeks. Stuck at home or in work, or constantly at band rehearsals playing the same songs over and over. Think I'm gonna get a car and join a gym and star...

The empolyment monster got me.

I got a job! Finally! I've been getting bored sitting about all day. It's great having lots of free time, but it sucks after a while if you don't have the money to do anything. It's a good little job ...
