I can't tell the doctor from the patient.

About Me

I'm a musician but I can't read music and play by ear, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, I love large crowds and meeting new people but I'm perfectly happy on my own.

I spend as much time as I can writing and playing music with my two good friends in Out From Animals. Before I did this I was doing exactally the same in The Wayriders.

I like painting too but don't get much time to do that anymore.

My Interests

I like watching good TV programs and films but don't watch scheduled TV at all. I really don't want to take the time for adverts and if I want to watch a film, I want to watch it when I want to watch it. I also don't have the patience to wait another week for the next episode. Because of this though my DVD collection is getting a bit too stupidly big and I have to keep buying new shelves...

I like really late hours when as many people as possible are asleep and I can make music as loud as I want in my room but I don't like lying in either so I don't sleep much. Caffeine is my favourite drug.

Road trips that last for days are the best, although I'm always the driver and I hate driving.

I like watching the sunrise outside whilst listening to The Polyphonic Spree.

I'd like to meet:

...so many fucking cool people that it hurts.
(although I'm trying my best to keep my 'friends' list for my actual friends on this account. Not that I'm always that successful!)

If you send me a message on here don't expect me to read it any time soon!
