About Me


I write too much on these things
My name's Jeremy (Jez for short cos it's quicker to say and far less camp.)
I listen to too much music. I'm probably going to go deaf in the near future.
I'm honest, laid back, reasonably friendly and calm.
However, I'm also lazy, odd, seemingly conceited and cynical.
My sense of humour is usually in bad taste.
I dislike lying more than anything.
I read a fair amount, and I've seen alot of films. Basically.. I am a nerd.
I can be very opinionated about things I feel strongly about and it pisses people off sometimes. I am an arrogant prick to tell you the truth.
I Like
1)Listening to music (who would have thunk it?)
2)My friends
3)People with something interesting to say
4)Reading Bukowski on the bog
5)Sleeping until 3pm
6) Genuinely friendly people
7)Sane people (2% of the population)
8)Anyone who doesn't make me pray for nuclear holocaust within five minutes of meeting them
I Dislike
1)Bad music
2)Stuck up people
3)Liars
4)Pretentious art
5)Early mornings
6)False people
7)Arrogant pricks that exaggerate by claiming that only 2% of the population is sane
9)Nuclear holocaust
...and much more!
