About Me

My bones ache, and I live in a house full of girls. I like to write and I am keen on the blues and wearing old gentlemans' caps that I find in public places.

My Interests

Going out, reading, writing, playing guitar, piano & bass, writing songs, getting wrecked, walking, football, daydreaming, politics, French, kissing, literature, satire, being cynical yet friendly, Star Wars, sci-fi, colours, funk, irony
