I love to play and write music. I wouldn't call myself a 'music geek' as I don't go out of my way to go to gigs, discover new acts I like or even compose. If I find the time to compose/play I will do it but it's not a disaster if I don't....it's just a hobby. My mum thinks that's sad as I used to be shit hot at the violin. Ah well. I will make a comeback eventually. I've taken a very recent interest in photography but it's taken a back seat for the moment as I want a decent camera that can take 'wickedy cool' pictures. Oh, and I can make jumping frogs out of paper.I am also a massive West Ham fan :).. width="425" height="350" ..
