About Me

I’m a 21 year old, fun loving, thrill seeking, party hopping, drink swelling student living in Bath. I’m in my final year at Bath Spa University studying joint honours Media and Drama studies, living in student village Oldfield Park with my four best mates, working in a super lively bar in the centre of town. I suppose I’d class myself as gay, but in the very loosest sense of the word. As in, I tend to turn back the other way every now and then. I suppose you could consider me bi-sexual, but I don’t like to get technical about things. I’m aiming to make the most out of my final year at Uni, and plan to party hard as always. After Uni, I want to travel, backpack and work all over the world, experiencing everything possible, particularly all sorts of new cultures, lifestyles and people. I’d really hate to see myself in a 9-5 office job, and would love to carry on the student/traveller lifestyle as long as possible. I live in Exeter during the holidays, but I’m not a huge fan of the place. I’d consider myself fun, creative, lively, genuine, caring, understanding, open minded, full of ambition and always on the lookout for a good time. Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

My Interests

• In my spare time I enjoy drinking, socialising, partying, travelling, eating out, music, swimming, running, keeping fit, TV, cinema, theatre, shopping, talking and kissing.

• I live by the idea that you only get one life so you have to make the very most of it; and that includes giving everything a try at least once, trying to experience all that life has to offer.

• Uni is without a doubt, one of the best things I’ve ever done with my life. I’ve made the most amazing friends anyone could ever make, done everything crazy and wild that students are supposed to do, and had the time of my life.

• I love working in my bar, mainly because it’s usually packed and a lot of fun, your even allowed to drink while you work. I get paid to get people drunk, flirt, chat, meet strangers and socialise.

• I struggle to understand the people who make their sexuality their biggest characteristic and go out of their way to flaunt and advertise this, and try to play up to the ridiculous, queenie stereotypes.

• I’ve visited Spain, Egypt, France, Ireland, Greece, Tenerife, and Florida, and it’s a huge ambition of mine to travel to Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Thailand, Cuba, Amsterdam and all over the States.

• I love hot chocolate, star gazing, sunshine, making cocktails, falling asleep with a fan on, all day breakfasts, sarcasm, bisexuals, thought provoking films, December, six-pacs, the odd spliff, drunken crazed parties full of randoms, thunder storms and chinese takeaway.

I'd like to meet:

I’m an pretty sociable person and love meeting new people at parties, Uni, work, and while travelling, but I don’t really chat to random’s on the internet. But I’m open minded so if there’s anyone really interesting I might make an exception, like perhaps fellow like-minded backpackers/travellers or anyone who can help breath some life into dull old Exeter. And maybe some genuine gay’s and lessa’s. I may be gay/bi/whatever, but I don’t like to play up to the irritating stereotype and don’t go in for the whole ‘scene queen’ and the majority of my friends straight. Please don’t be offended if I don’t accept your friend request, I prefer to meet friends away from the internet, but if someone spark’s my interest I may approve, it helps if your fit too – not that I’m shallow or anything. Oh, and by the way, having 3000+ random’s posing as your so-called friends on here, doesn’t make you popular! MySpace is however, a brilliant way of keeping in contact with everyone and catching up with people I haven’t seen in ages.

Music:

I'm constantly listening to music and my CD/MP3 collection is pretty extensive. My ipod is full of random, diverse music and I'm into pretty much anything that takes my fancy. I tend to steer away from the blantently manufactued chart stuff but every now and then a tune or band impress me. I love discovering new bands and I'm into everything from Trip-Hop to Alternative, Electronica to Acoustic.

The music I regularly listen to includes; Jebediah, Frou Frou, LHB, Massive Attack, Endorphin, The Killers, Too Many DJ's, Coldplay, Caesers Palace, Kosheen, Feeder, Felicity Hunter, Jump Little Children, Air, Charlton Hill, The Calling, Royksopp, Goldfrapp, Black Eyed Peas, Daft Punk, Gwen Stefani, Bloc Party, Scissor Sisters, Pete Murray, Imogen Heap, The Modern, Faithless, Groove Armada, Oasis, Blur, Nightmares On Wax, Soulwax, Garbage, Hole, Fatboy Slim, The Feeling, Butterfly 9 and Just Jack.

Movies:

A Home At The End Of The World, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Crash, 28 Days Later, Chicago, Velvet Goldmine, Coyote Ugly, In America, Titanic, American Pie, Cruel Intentions, Finding Nemo, Look Who's Talking, The Beach, Final Destination, Mysterous Skin, Monster, Fast And The Furious, Austin Powers, The Butterfly Effect, Transamerica and Y Tu Mama Tambien.

Television:

My dream career is to go into Television Production, making decent programmes to fill our tele-boxes. I've done a bit of work experience and I love it. I don't get the chance to watch TV when I'm at Uni, but when I do I tune into Neighbours, which I've watched all my lie, Friends is the perfect show to fall asleep to, and I can easily watch the episodes over and over again. My favourite all time programme would probably be As If; with all the Teen Angst, Sooz, Jamie, etc. And I'm currently quite liking Skins on E4; Cassie is a legend and Maxxie is adorable. I also like Little Britain and Catherine Tate.
