About Me

Hmm, this is hard. I suppose I like to constantly talk, sarcastically and about random things. I know a lot of people say that they're random, so i'll let m'friends decide. Currently in a band that only consists of a guitar & a bass. It's hard to describe, but I think I can get unnecessarily obessessive/be passionate about things such as music, film and art in general. Once again, i'll leave that for you folks to decide. Currently studying Linguistics at Manchester. Well... technically, right now i'm studying this keyboard. It's fascinating.

My Interests

Drawing, watching films that, after a pint or two, you can watch and get unnaturally excited, energised by. I'm sure a good fitness video would suffice, but a good narrative is hard to find.Watching DVD extras is a guilty pleasure. Ooh, i do love a good documentary too.Also, I'm into graphic novels (supplied by Rick) & making music that makes Rick furrow his brow and mutter "is that 4:3? 2:4? No...Argh, it's changed! What were you on when writing this?!?" Awesome.And finally, i love making playlists for people. I can be up all night making them.
