About Me

Welsh writer (aspiring!) and huge Christian, hugely political, a total Skypeoholic and mad as a fish. Having worked and travelled all over the place I am now settled back in Wales for a while to do some writing, ride horses, hang out in Skype and chase ladies. Interested in hearing from anyone anywhere ... especially anyone from school, anywhere I have worked, anyone involved in writing .... plus everyone else so say Hi when you drop by (except anyone I owe anything to) ! If you want to talk audibly then look me up on Skype as Welsh_Alex ! (As for the freakshows, clones and stalkers, please stay away ... you have been warned!) Look me up on a fantastic new social networking site for Skype users. Check out www.skypeoholic.com and look me up, Alex_Wales Check the whole site out too, it's a blast.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.
You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily. What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Meeting new Myspacers, Skypeoholics, travelling, writing, reading, computing, being a Christian, mountain biking, horse riding, sleeping, current affairs, web design, programming, whisky tasting, raising hell, meeting folks, keep fit ;-), having fun, religious debate, political debate, and more travelling (Oh and writing!)...
You Are the Individualist

You Are Sunset
Even though you still may be young, you already feel like you've accomplished a lot in life.
And you feel free to pave your own path now, and you're not even sure where it will take you.
Maybe you'll pursue higher education in a subject you enjoy - or travel the world for a few years.
Either way, you approach life with a relaxed, open attitude. And that will take you far! What Time Of Day Are You?
