Getting my mojo back slowly but surely

About Me

I work as a Computer Games PR.I used to be a Computer Games Designer. I've worked on games like Croc, Buck Bumble, Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, I-Ninja, Catwoman, and the Sims 2.I've been an avid gamer since I was about 4. My first computer was an Amstrad CPC 464. When I am not out or working I'm playing games and try and play everything (well all the good stuff anyway!). I own all the consoles and handhelds and am big into Gears of War on Xbox Live and Zelda on my Wii at the moment. In fact at the moment for me it's all about GEARS OF WAR until POKEMON comes out!!!I love computer games so much (surprisingly), The UFC - Ultimate Fighting is amazing, all kinds of music, magic (close up, card, coin etc), fast cars, gadgets and technology, my cats Jak and Penny, tattoos (even though I don't have any), animals (I've become vegetarian - good bye bacon sarnies!), reading, having as much fun as I can, going out with friends, and my super fast VR6 which I'd love to take onto a track and bomb about in it. Rumours are it's reached speeds of 135mph...I had my first motorbike at 4, but wasn't until I was 5 that my dad got me a 50cc Italjet which I used to bomb about in in the fields next to my house. That was until some light fingered git nicked it. I love fast cars with big fat engines that purr/growl & also I like bikes (my dad used to race them).I LOVE Led ZeppelinI utterly despise cruelty to animals and it breaks my heart.
