About Me


adopt your own virtual pet!Oh dear...actually i think that sums it up quite nicely, but if you really require more information I'm a bloke from Somerset who has been living in Reading for about five-ish years now, I live in my flat with my lovely fiance Emma, I have a head AND arms AND legs, and I think Badgers are quite funny as a conversational topic...um...i'm generally described either as a 'nice bloke' or a rancid little hobbit, of which descriptions i think i like the second one better, and my life is largely about my Em, my folks, my mates, and trying to enjoy life while at the same time making enough money to actually survive.I'm often hyper, sometimes humorous, regularly lazy and usually try to give a sh*t if someone I care about needs me to. I'd love to be a writer, although I have yet to achieve anything even vaguely solid on that one (its all very Howard Moon for those of you who like the Boosh) and I'm into my rock-clubs blah blah etc.

My Interests

I'm a totally unashamed Geek! Yes thats right, and I don't care! I'm into sci-fi fantasy and horror novels and films, play games workshop games (i even used to work there for gods' sakes!) i love my mates, going to rock clubs, discovering new places, checking out big cities that i havent been to before (something i dont get to do nearly as much as i'd like), bodyboarding when I can get down to Devon, archery (used to and would like to get back into) (I feel i shouldmention theres a damn great big thunderstorm going on outside while im writing this, its well impressive...anyway...) going out to restaraunts for meals way more than i can afford, making new friends and...um...sofas are kind of cool...getting drunks fun too...

I'd like to meet:

Vince Noir, King of The Mods. Terry Pratchett so I could chin him. A lot of my friends a lot more often, damn you life and your necessity for work and sleep! China Meiville. Muse. Dangermouse (but not Penfold, he could go get the beers in...)
You Are Animal
A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.
You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.
But you sure can beat a good drum.

Music:

Ok sod it my previous answer to this question was a thorough cop-out due to the fact that i was trying to fill out the whole profile, but here is something of a list, although its far from comprehensive... Mudvayne Slipknot AFI Nirvana Mindless Self Indulgence Bloodhound Gang Red Hot Chilli Peppers Distillers Capdown The Automatic S.O.D Foo Fighters Gorillaz 36 Crazyfists Disturbed Korn Linkin Park Deftones Muse Queens of The Stone Age Mad Caddies The Eagles The Rolling Stones Dire Straights (hed) PE 9 inch nails linkin park torie amos chicane Incubus Soil Audioslave Funeral For a Friend Jimmy Eat World Portishead Maralyn Manson Transplants Beck Spunge The White Stripes Zero 7 Brand New Metallica Avenged Sevenfold (BEFORE their appalling new album...sorry Tumbleweed...) shiteloads more but i'm bored now....

Movies:

aaah, far too many! Horror (but not the korean kind, thats a bit too intense for my overactive imagination, plus little girls in horror films are ALWAYS frightening for some reason...), sci-fi stuff like 5th element or serenity, the odd war film (particularly keen on Vietnam Movies), fantasy stuff (Lord of the rings obviously but also the old 80s things like The Labyrinth...that storm outside is still going by the way...) and anything else that takes my fancy (Monsters inc for example, is an utterly fantastic film!) also the pirates of the carribbean trilogy, now that i've seen all three! oh my word, as Rob said, they've managed to do a whole trilogy without fucking it up!

Television:

Dont really watch it. I'd love to say something artsy and intellectual like 'it supresses the intellect of the masses' or something equally emotentious, but to be fair I dont watch it A.) coz i had no reception for ages and got out of the habit and B.) coz its nearly all toss. (further to previous announcement, wud like to say that have recently been watching Battlestar Galactica series which is absolutely excellent, HUGE underlying political themes, and American Dad, which is a little more blatant...) HOWEVER...Just recently myself and Emma have majorly got into Lost due to getting hold of series one and two and watching them pretty much obsessively...how fuckin good is that program!?

Books:

Again, far FAR too many. I love sci-fi in small doses, particularly stuff by Dan Abnett, Graham McNeil, Sandy Mitchel, Peter F. Hamilton and a couple of others. My big favourite is fantasy, but in particular the darker, more gothic stuff. In particular I'm very keen on a genre generally referred to as Steampunk (for those who don't know, its sort of victorian/medieval fantasy sci-fi, using u to date or even futuristic technology and settings but translated into wood, iron and steam.) This mingles with my love for the grotesque in such things, so I am totally in love with settings like those used by China Mieville in 'Perdido Street Station' and 'The Scar' (two of the best books I've ever read, total dark escapism...) I'm also quite keen on the odd historical book, usually military stuff like 'Stalingrad', although I've the attention span of a flat-packed budgie so tend to stop reading before i've finished these. Just recently, Emma has also got me into mr Neil Gaiman, who I have to say is an awesome author! For anyone who hasnt read American Gods, read it read it read it!Invader Zim BEES!
