About Me


This reality is best viewed through Mozilla Firefox.
Welcome to The Green Front. When you're ready, please feel free to step through. And don't forget, mind your head...
A characteristic of the Imminent Minion is to snort perversely, in which pieces of stinking crud fly from his antagonistic nostrils straight towards the nearest unsuspecting bystander, at a speed rate equal to that of a racing bee being chased by a grizzly bear galloping at a velocity approximately in tune with a smelly shit falling from a chocolate star compulsively driven by the irresistible force of gravity.
The Fool who believes this was supposed to make sense, is, well, a bit of a Fool.
Mr Green is short.
Mr Green is yellow.
For most of her active life, Mr Green remsembles a pear.
Mr Green likes to learn.
Mr Green hates to study.
Mr Green is somewhat of a pedant.
Mr Green stacks her CDs in alphabetical order according to artist name ... what of it?!
Mr Green is the laziest arse ever born.
Mr Green is a perfectionist.
Mr Green is a procrastinator.
Mr Green is not unaware of the above contradition(s).
Consult Mr Green if you want many examples of spoonerism.
One day, Mr Green will rule the Southern Diatomical Dimension (situated in WA, of course), with the peaceful, wise, and highly infallible stromatolites as her underdogs.
Mr Green absolutely loathes MySpace ... Well, she used to.
If you were wise like all the others, you would GO NOW.
There are many places where nerds climax seemingly in secret.
When boredom looms.
This is what Mr Green is like most of the time:
To any bands or musicians sending me an Add Request:
I always try my best to listen to profile songs before accepting friend requests from bands, and I will usually give a constructive comment along with it. Considering the effort you put into writing and performing and putting your work out there, it only seems fair and decent to me to show a bit of appreciation back.
However, sometimes the requests do pile up and I just don't have time to listen to every band properly before MySpace automatically deletes them from my list. So if you've added me, and it's been about a week and I still haven't added you back, just try again. :-)
Cheers.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Aslan.

Perceval il Galois.

For the observant, I will clarify right now, before you ask, that this does not mean that I am Christian. I'd like to meet these two imaginary, fictional beings because they provide escapism, and thinking about them fuels the occasional wistful daydream.

I'd also like to meet all the people in my Heroes List.

I'd also like to meet just about every band or musician whose music has fulfilled me in some way - happiness, contentment, enlightenment, discovery, satisfaction, emotion, beauty, terror, fear, discovery ... and any other appropriate adjectives that you can think of.

A smarter generation of movie-viewers? But not a smarter generation.

Nowadays, whenever I watch a DVD I have to watch the supplementary featurettes. I don't feel like I'm satisfied unless I at least check out what's in the special features. I notice that most DVDs come...
