About Me

Odd, Legendary, Intelligent... OLI See what your name acronym isA little about me... Well i grew up in London till i was 7 and then i upped sticks and moved to Scotland where i lived in the wee coastal town of Largs on the west coast. I was here for a little while then, when i was 16 i moved back down to England but only as far as Cheshire where i spent the next few years in Northwich. I graduated college and went to uni at Blackpool.After uni i decided, over a pint of hoegaarden, to go traveling. I went to Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and North America. That was one of the best decisions i have ever made, ended up being the best year of my life, changed the way i think about everything and gave me a well needed boost of moral. I came back home a year later and after a short spell of Stoke-on-trent-isis, decided to move to London. I have been living in the Capital ever since, i still have the urge to travel, the travel bug i believe is the technical term, but i am more or less content with my life at the moment. I work for a tour operator, making up ads for newspapers and spend allot of my time outside of work at gigs or clubs just enjoying what youth i have left before i decide to graduate to adulthood! I am about to start my MA in Digital effects at Bournemouth uni... this is the next step, try and get a career doing something i love.I enjoy Music and Film and recently acquired a fondness for reading too, never had much chance to do this in-between playing with star wars toys, drawing crappie comics and skating when i was a child. So thats me in a nutshell, you got anything in common and want to talk or message me then you are more than welcome.

I love music above all things, independent is the way forward, don’t drink from the mainstream, saying that I have sipped on some of that tainted water in the past.
