Hello, my name is Craig. I'm 19 and live in Bristol. I have medium length blonde/gingery hair and blue eyes. I am around 5'9" tall and don't weigh that much. I have recently finished a course in BTEC National Diploma in IT Practitioners and I work for Bristol and West Mortgages as a processing administrator - it's okay I suppose. I have facial hair, and I'm probably the only person that likes it :).I'm single - not really looking.You can hang around with me for a week and see my whole wardrobe; I only really own jeans and black t-shirts. I don't smoke or do drugs and don't particuarly like it being done around me.I'm a shy individual. I'm not very good at making conversation and, even though I like making new friends, am very quiet infront of new people. When I'm drinking, all is fine. Alcohol is my social catalyst.I'm not the person who can talk to you about the latest political polls or how to create nuclear fusion - I am not an overly intellectual child. I am, however, full of useless random information and I thrive more on common and practical sense rather than scientifical knowledge.I'm a disgusting child. I burp, I fart, I pick my nose and will clean my ears with my fingers if I have too. Heck, I'm a teenager. I live an abominable lifestyle full of fatty foods, no fruit/veg and absolutely no exercise.I laugh at 'poo'. What? It's funny.I perfer it when people talk in proper english. None of that abbreviated text talk. That just annoys me.I adore music. My dream is to be a in a band and tour. The whole lifestyle of living out of a tour bus for months, travelling the world, smelling of crap and playing music that you write is my dream (maybe not the smelling of crap bit so much though). Music just has that power to bring people together. It's awesome.Dermatillomania
Also known as CSP (Compulsive Skin Picking). It's not a huge problem as it just involves my hands rather than my whole body. It is usually associated with tension, anxiety, stress, or paranoia - but I have no idea how or why it effects me. It's disgusting, I know, but I've been doing it for as long as I can remember.OCPD - Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder
People with OCPD tend to stress perfectionism above all else, and feel anxious when they perceive that things are not "right". People with OCPD may keep their home perfectly organized, or be anxious about delegating tasks for fear that they won't be completed correctly. Perfectly aligning objects at complete, absolute right angles, or aligning objects perfectly parallel etc.Individuals with OCPD are described as being perfectionistic. Aggressive, competitive, and impatient. Preoccupied with orderliness, neatness, and cleanliness; and
inflexible and stubborn in relationships.This is not a disorder by any means - I have not been diagnosed. But I can relate to a number of the symptoms (I'm only listing a few).Stop...Quick-Fire Time:
My favourite sandwich is a BLT. I prefer bottled beer. I love to play pool and table tennis - they're my favourite sports along with football. I like a girl in glasses. I can't dance but I do it anyway. I am a lefty. I'm a sucker for anything Acoustic. I'm a tropical fish enthusiast. I drink far too much tea. I wear contact lenses. I'm a morning person.So that's a little something about me. If you want to talk to me then add me and let's chat crap =].
We're going to Wembley!Story Of A Boy - from a 3rd person prospective written by me.
On May 9th, 1989. There was a boy (6 days later to be named
and registered as "Craig Andrew Lidbury") born at Bristol Maternity Hospital in the early hours of the morning (3:15am to be exact). He was 49cm tall and weighed in at 6lb 8oz. His smooth bald head glistened in the hospital spotlights.Craig, during his very early years, was a short and chubby fellow sporting a
golden blonde basin hairstyle. Back then he couldn't choose what his hair would look like. His parents would plop him on a chair, get a cereal dish and cut around it probably, (this would explain the hairs he finds in his Frosties in the morning).Primary school to Craig is pretty much a blur (infact, most of his childhood is). Apart from that time this girl got her hair caught on fire and ran around screaming, but that's irrelevant to Craigs up-bringing (although it was pretty funny)...Through-out secondary school, Craig went through some changes in his looks.
He had the spiked up fringe that everyone had, the glasses and braces to match his somewhat dorky
personality and the Nike earring which completed his Chav outfit. A babe magnet if you ask me, (or babe repellent if you asked anybody that wasn't blind or desperate). He was rejected by many, many people. Probably for his inability to make friends and lack of knowledge to produce an intellectual conversation. Or maybe he was just a twat. But who knows?In the early stages of year 9 he came across the music they call "Rock". He grew up listening to the likes of Linkin Park and Papa Roach like every other kid in the early millenium. It wasn't long after his discovery of "Rock" that he was then sporting the long shoulder-length jitter hair that all the alternative kids had. His waistline suddenly started to drop and his whole wardrobe was 3 sizes too big. He was now a social outcast who needed to pull up his jeans and get a haircut. This didn't make him very popular...He wasn't the brightest crayon in the box either, but he knew some of his stuff. Rather than knowing the Periodic
Table off by heart, he knew how to burp on command and angle himself to produce the best sounding farts (they didn't smell too good either). Infact,
Craig hated anything to do with Science unless it involved crude bodily functions. He enjoyed Geography and
DT as a young teen. However, it was apparent by his grades that his main area of expertise was Maths (his knowledge
in that field was still rather limited, though). Yep, Craig was your average Joe Bloggs who you would contemplate
people would have unimaginable trouble being friends with. But his love for Rock music made him socially inept
with the in-crowd. He didn't have many close friends.But the close friends he did have, he shared many fun (and not so fun) memories with. Said memories included Dr. Pepper fights, getting drunk and starting fights, and arguements which resulted in fights. But fighting wasn't the only thing which occured between Craig and his chums. No. Many jokes about homosexualness and sexual orientation ensued also. However, the best memories were the skateboarding memories and the many spots they fell off at. Craigs cuts and bruises hurt at the time. But he can look back on it now, reminisce and laugh about the humourous times that were shared (and all the gay anal sex that could of been). If it wasn't for days like those, Craig probably wouldn't have his sick and sadistic sense of humour he seems to have aquired over those years. Those days made Craig who he is today...and he has his old and wise skateboarding buddies all to thank for that.Growing up in the 90's means Craig loved Pokemon and Wrestling like any other kid. On break times he would most likely be being dropped on his head trying out wrestling moves out on friends and blagging other kids Pokemon cards. The fact that he was constantly dropped on his head could possibly explain a number of things...How did he get the nickname "Cwag" you ask? Well, one day skating at the school there was this shadow at the bottom gates. Then all of a sudden there was a massive cold breeze swept past and it went dark for a second. So
Mike, Sammy, Shane and Craig all bolted it home thinking it was a ghost. Then Mike put his MSN name as "Help, me and Cwag is being haunted" and it kinda stuck from there and people refer to him as it now.He enjoyed his sports. He would join in with the Football matches and such at school. He would ocasionally be one of the first people to get picked for games (because he was the only left-footed kid in the group, not because he was actually any good). The teams would get divided unevenly with the chavs who wouldn't play fair on one team, and the kids who wanted to play properly on the other.He went through the phase of skateboarding for about 3 years, until he stopped because he actually wasn't very good. He biked, he bladed, he scooted. He tried everything but couldn't find anything which he could excel in. Until, one Christmas, he got an acoustic guitar. Craig and Guitaring went together like PB & J (which, by the way, Craig finds disgusting).Craig soon got bored of listening to Linkin Parks - Hybrid Theory and Funeral for a Friends - Casually Dressed and Deep In Conversation on repeat all the time. His taste broadened but didn't go very far. He still listens to the stuff he grew up with. He still loves the occasional game of Football and had discovered likings for sports such as Pool, Snooker and Table Tennis. Like any other kid nowadays he still plays guitar. His gear: Vintage VS6 through a Line6 Spider 112. Craig still has his acoustic he got that Christmas, it will stay with him forever. He would upgrade, but he's a lazy bum and has no money...Following his departure from secondary school, after many unwanted encounters with Chavs and 9 GCSE's under
his belt (which is securely fastened around his knees), he embarked on the journey into adulthood. His final grades were rather surprising considering what he was predicted, but he still feels he could of applied himself and done better. He didn't know what he wanted to do with his life, but he had to do something....His dress sense stayed pretty much the same. His jeans are still so low down I'm surprised they haven't struck oil.He doesn't want kids because they "sponge off your savings and leave you with nothing" (although that is what Craig done/is doing to his parents anyway).Coming into 2005, rather than sporting the short spikey hair, braces and Nike earring. Craig was known as a "fringe and a lip
ring" and was also described as having no face.
Quite a contrast dontcha think?Craig still doesn't realistically know what he wants to do with his life. He has completed a 2 year course in IT Practitioners at a National Diploma level and, although the first year of the course was pretty wank, the second year proved to be quite interesting. During the first year of his course he done bare minimum amount of work to get a pass in his assignments. He got in to the second year (possibly by some sort of fluke) and had taken advantage of being accepted and done all the work he can to the best of his abilities. However he still had time to make Can Walls out on the foye.
He has also got himself a slot as a lead guitarist in a local Bristol band called Cut The Silence. He also busts out some screamy vocals as he is lead vocalist too. Their musical style is kind of like a slower form of metal. However their reign didn't last very long. You can check them out here .Craig has somewhat "grown up" in a sense this past year or so. Although it's not that apparent by his actions and things he says (because let's face it, he still laughs when people fart), but in the past 2 years of college he has probably learnt more about life in general than he has done about the course he was actually on...Craig had decided that he wasn't going to get a job with only half a face. Mainly becuase employers would want "service with a smile", not half of one. So lone behold, he has a job working as an Administrator for Bristol and West. Fancy malarky eh?Around My Room
My bedroom will basically tell you all you need to know about me really. So let's a take a tour shall we? Oh and by the way, please keep your arms and legs inside the bedroom at all times.We walk through the door (not literally, we don't have super powers) and all of a sudden we're presented with a fish tank. This will tell you that I like fish? Wow, where would you be without your tour guide?. Above the fish tank is a mirror for all those "vain moments". Or primarily just so I can put my contacts in in the morning...Also on this wall, perfectly positioned either side of the mirror, are 2 guitars. A cherry red Crafter electro-acoustic and a cherry red Vintage VS6 electric guitar. This will tell you that I like to play guitar *nods*. I hope you are taking notes.Behind the door is where 2 DVD towers stand. These DVD towers consist of DVD's of mainly the horror and comedy film genre (alphabetically organised might I add). However there are a couple chick-flick and Disney films residing amongst the gore and laughter.As we continue around the room there is a TV on the wall with my Diploma for my Computing course underneath it neatly displayed in a frame *proud moment*.Incase you are wondering. The walls are white and blue. The top half white, the bottom half blue. Divided with an old fashioned wood colour dado rail (I would take it down, but it would probably take half the wall with it, damn that no-more-nails). I also have a dark blue coloured carpet.Further around is the PC (where I am currently sat, *waves*) and on the wall above there is multiple lovely posters of Hayley Williams (Mmmmm, *dribbles*). There isn't much to see here apart from a few books, a rubix cube, my surround sound bass speaker and a cup of pens. Let's move on shall we...Around the walls are posters of bands and female celebrities. This tells you that I like music and am heterosexual :). As you can probably see this room is tidy. This will tell you that I am quite a tidy and organised person. Although you will be probably find some old plates and cups collecting dust and growing moss. Moving on....Then we are presented with the double bed. Cosy and warm, like any bed should be. Towered around this bed is a huge cupboard which contains many, many black t-shirts and the rare colourful item of clothing. I won't go into detail about what's under the bed, God only knows what kinda of things are growing under there. Along the top of the cupboards are multiple soft toys that I have aquired from over the years and on top of the cupboard are those cardboard boxes containing nothing that I can't seem to get rid of.Well that was the tour of my room. What did you learn? Not much probably but even still.Not worthy of MTV Cribs, but I like it here :).
