holiday hangover (this will last longer than expected)

About Me

i'm in trouble. it all seems to make perfect sense, this whole "meaning of life" thing. see, you're supposed to work for a year and then run off for at least 2 weeks to some faraway place where you won't have to face the idiotic ill-mannered people that irritate the shit out of you in this country. run far far away and go see some super amazing bands at a festival, then go see even more amazing bands at smaller and more intimate shows. don't forget to get off on kick ass shopping and meet interesting, friendly and fun folk from all across this planet while you're at it. and then its back to the shit of working and coming to terms with the fact that you can't/shouldn't be doing this for very much longer...

My Interests

cutting cupons, getting shit for free, reading, photography, trying to dj, trying to make stencils, bowling, arsenal fc, beach bumming, arts and crafts, 7 inch records, 1 inch pins, skateboarding, thrift shopping, picnics, making mixtapes for friends, making rubbish tee shirts, vespa scooters, all genres of music
