About Me

Well, I am 19, and I work at a DVD store to earn my beer vouchers. I also let people look at me for kicks. Occasionally, I can be persuaded to play you a ditty, if you ask real nice. Life is grand.
I look better in photos. No, seriously. My hair is crappy, I have amblyopia and I'm skinny as hell. (Note: since I first wrote this, my hair became awesome but I got a pot belly.) (Note: now the pot belly's gone)
I'm not the kind of person who loves all my friends. I'm the kind of person that hates the world as a general rule, and sees his friends merely as exceptions to the rule.
For prosperity, I've decided to include a bunch of names I will answer to, depending on who you are:
Tomuel
Tommish
Tomly
Thomas (the tank engine)
Jesus
Beard
Shakespeare
The 40 Year Old Virgin
Hey Sophie's Sister
Tom-Waits-Except-Younger-And-Cuter
Just Tom
Lady Tom
Rupert Murdoch/Murdock (subject to change)
I can't say no to a pretty face. At least, I haven't been able to yet.
I like to get wordy. I like people who can do the same.
I'm hypocritical. So are you. At least I don't display further hypocrasy by denying it.
If said in jest, nothing can offend me. Got a joke about child rape or coathanger abortion? Please do tell it to me. Got a blatant, unfunny and condescending remark about one of my friends? Keep it to yourself. Of course there are times when there will be a good joke about one of my friends having a coathanger abortion. I wouldn't crucify you for telling me.
I'd appreciate it if you actually read my page before talking to me, that way I don't have to say it all twice. If you want to talk in more detail about something, that's fine, just don't ask me what school I go to or how old I am when it's in plain view here. Also, do try and find something interesting to talk about. I really get tired of the 'hey how u doin?' kind of comments.
Don't ask me for my email/MSN/AIM unless we've spoken a fair bit. Chances are, if I want to talk to you more, I'll ask you.
Word to the wise (or not so); I'm quite vain, arrogant, conceited, and self-absorbed at times, so live with it. However, I'm also occasionally altruistic, selfless and other synonyms, so it all evens out. If you're that one-eyed that you can't stand to talk to an arrogant person, you're probably best off not adding me in the first place.
If you can't spell for shit, chances are I will think less of you as a person. Limited taste in music will also affect my view of you.
If I'm complimented, the chances of me responding 'thanks' are much less than the chances of me replying 'I know'. Live with it.
If you really wrong one of my friends, I won't hesitate to reach for the pliers and blowtorch. So break yourself.
If you got this far, you may as well add me. You're probably worth talking to. And when I say add me, I mean it. I don't like when people send me a message asking me to add them. I mean, y'know, that takes effort and shit.
Awareness is where it's at. With nearly every MySpace page I see mentioning 'emo', I guess it would be good if there was someone around here who actually knew a damn thing about it. If you want to be that person, go here .
I have messy writing; no shit. Back in Grade 4, my writing was so bad, I was actually denied my pen licence. Soon after that incident, I changed schools. The new school never asked to see my pen licence, and I never offered to show them. For 8 years, I've been writing unlicenced. No newsagency or supermarket will sell me stationary. I've had to resort to stealing other people's pens and using every last drop of ink there is. I wonder what you'd call that, joywriting?
I am going to follow my dreams until I achieve them. Now all I have to do is decide on what they are.
No I'm not gay, even though I may constantly call girls 'dear'.
I'm a world-class procrastinator, along with Crystal .
I dislike smoking, but enjoy the smell of cigarettes. It's a comfort thing. I've never smoked a cigarette, but it would take like two seconds to convince me to smoke a cigar. Those things are hell pimpin'.
I'm cool like that.
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
I do awesome things like playing bass guitar in some bands and nerding out playing RPGs and reading comics and fantasy fiction. However, I spend more time talking myself up because of my hobbies than actually participating in actions related to my hobbies.

PHONES SHOULD HAVE BREATHALYSERS.

My Interests

Music. Wow, wouldn't have seen that coming on a MySpace page. What's next, 'my friends are my life'?

Probably.

I also enjoy quiet nights at home. I like being drunk, but hate the taste of alcohol (except Josh's Smirnoff Double Blacks). A well-crafted melody and a poignant lyric is the way to my soul. Meeting your idols gives a rush that can't be experienced anywhere else. So does love. But love is for lamers. Yes, I went there.

I'd like to meet:

The Catcher in the Rye
"I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It's awful. If I'm on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I'm going, I'm liable to say I'm going to the opera. It's terrible."
The Day of the Triffids
"When a day that you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere."
House of Leaves
"The paramedics said there was nothing unusual, just the way it goes, eighty some years and the inevitable kerplunk, the system goes down, lights blink out and there you have it, another body on the floor surrounded by things that don't mean much to anyone except to the one who can't take any of them along."
Comics
Preacher
Deadpool
The Walking Dead
Comics
(the other kind)
Sarah Silverman
"When God gives you AIDS...and God does give you AIDS, make lemonAIDS."
Alonzo Bodden
"Having a woman as just a friend is like having $19 in the bank account and looking at your ATM card. Really serves no purpose at all."
