About Me

I listen to music. i listen to my friends. i talk back to them sometimes. my favourite crisps are cheese and onion squares. i like indie-pop. i like going to gigs. i like reading books. i like going to new places.Derby is nice, but getting tiresome. i live in a house with matt tracker (social theorist and hip-hop fan extraordinaire) and nina (an SSD sufferer). i work, talk to people, drink, go to gigs, go to other places. i like writing too, but never seem to do any.
