About Me

The First Few pints when the banter with your mates makes you smile inside. The First Few times you try something new and the nervous excitement compensates your lack of ability. The First Few times you go out with a girl and the adrenalin shoots uncontrollable though your veins making you feel like you're untouchable. The First Few days at a new job when you think 'shit, I shouldn't have lied on the CV'. The First Few quid that you put into the bandit when it's just loose change and you'll only be a minute. The First Few days of spring when everything seems just a little better. The First Few times you go food shopping on your own and you buy stuff you were never allowed at home. The First Few songs that you'll always play as a soundtrack to your life, when you can smell the time that they transport you back to. The First Few.Myspace Backgrounds
