To clear things up, yes, I really am 19. Don't look it, in fact I'm a bit fresh faced... but that's a good thing right?
I can be an extremist, I used to party like a complete and utter idiot/junkie (well no...)/whatever, but I've cleaned myself up a bit. Generally I'm a quiet, thoughtful and friendly person. And accident prone. At least I hope I'm friendly, I may not be the one to ask...
I love:
Claire
My friends
My family
Music
My Wii (and Nintendo in general)
Gigs
Laughing
I like:
The Enneagram Theory
Grand Theft Auto
Monkey Island
Guinness
Heroes
Star Wars
Rugby (union)
Prison Break
Famous quotes
I hate:
Chavs
Pete Wentz
William Grim
Fundamentalism
50 fucking Cent
Poachers
Vanity (when it becomes arrogance)
I can be very shy and self-conscious and even at the best of times quite pessimistic. But despite that THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON. Of course all sorts of people will say that anyway to justify their emotions or actions...
...but I still think it's true.
"A face is a man's autobiography and a woman's work of fiction."
Oscar Wilde

Your Element Is Fire
Your passion and emotion are as obvious as the brightest flame.
You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out.
You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable.
You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go.
Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive.
Bright and blazing with intensity, you seem mysterious and moody to many. What's Your Element?

MUSIC/GIGS. The bridge. HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS. Rugby (UNION!) (and other sports, not too much of a football fan though...). Guinness. Cyanide and Happinness. SUMMER. Days off work. Going to sixth form (hey! It's actually quite good), or at least I DID until I left a few months ago :-(. Climbing. Games (mainly ZELDA, Monkey Island, Metal Gear Solid and GTA). The Enneagram Theory. London. Parties. Films. Humour, from slapstick to intelligent. Snoopy. Converse. Dressing in black. Going on random pointless walks.
And of course...
