About Me

Walking car crash. Currently does a lot of different things very half-heartedly. Prone to falling asleep after a few pints. Likes writing, reading, going to gigs, jumping around screaming. Terminal bookslave in the absence of any social skills/career aspirations. Just moved to Brighton. ***********************************************************. .This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5
