About Me

I like umbrellas. I have eighteen. I'm freakishly protective of them. I tend to bite when people try to touch them. And I name them. Eleanor, Percival, Loretta, Percival III, Abner, Bill, Douglas, Edgar, Henry, Douglass, Persephone, Olaf, Rita, Michael-Yale-Orville-Byron, Rufus, Frederick, Michelle, Fred I have a feeling I may have forgotten some... I have recently become quite attatched to my sleeping bag. Fantastic daytime attire...I like lads with English accents.I like people saying "I've not" instead of "I haven't" - yeah, it's an odd one.I like my bowler hat, and I dress like a gentleman. I'm quite anachronistic... Standing at the bus stop, all dressed up like a man from the 1830s, listening to my iPod and texting.I love music, I don't think I've been a day without my music in a VERY VERY long time. I always thought my 'About Me' was a bit lacking in depth and rambling, but I've never found the time to remedy it. I'm adding more now when I should be in the shower, or out of the shower by now...I love coffee. If I go out for coffee I get a flat white or a latte, but if I'm at home I just have crappy instant coffee. I don't care what it tastes like (within reason) just as long as it get's me my caffiene. I don't believe in decaf... Did you know it still has caffiene in it? Not much, but it's still there. If I have to go without coffee I have caffiene pills and energy drinks.I'm on medication. People may think it's to make me more sane, but no. It's to make me not het tuberculosis. And it makes my piss orange. Like, BRIGHT ORANGE. Lol.At the moment I'm quite taken with The Dresden Dolls... I have been for quite some time. It was the highlight of my life when I got to see them last year, and I shared spit with Amanda Palmer. Well, I stole her beer... Well I didn't STEAL it... She left it at the front of the stage, within arms reach and she forgot about it and got another. I didn't want to see it going to waste, and everone loves souvenirs. That's it for now, I have to catch a bus in 10 mins, and I'm still in my pajamas.I've decided I do NOT like Nine Inch Nails. Up until recently I haven't bothered to listen to them, so have taken a fairly neutral stance, but now I realise JUST how overrated they really are. Since inheriting all of Jack's music I've been exposed to a lot of things I wouldn't normally listen to. I've also redecided that I do not like Evanescence. I originally decided that several years ago. There's a lot of music I don't like. I'm also quite over Tool and A Perfect Circle. Not much of a metal fan at all really. Layout courtesy of

I pooped a Cornish gay man

Ew, coffee with trim milk. Not very nice, but I should drink it anyway before it gets cold... What's happening here: I have a cat on my belly, a laptop on my knees, and a towel on my head. I'm listeni...
