Don't give cocaine to hippies!

About Me

I'm a typical dude I guess, if you strip away all those little quirks that make me different from everyone else. Disappointingly, I'm not emotionally unhinged, super-dependant, clingy, over-anxious, kinky, suicidal, depressed, insecure or angry at the world. Really, I'm just a moderately intelligent dude with a creative streak and a bit of a harmless weird bent.Boring huh?At the moment I'm slaving away at a video store, stacking up dollars so I can move to Wellington next year. My main amibition is to be a writer/music journalist so I'm looking into pursuing that up north and writing for the university magazine down here in preparation. My writings are usually posted up here is you're nosey. By all means tell me how much I rock/suck.Heh, MySpathe.
