About Me

ModMySpace Profile Customizer

I'm Pete. I'm 25.

Despite having TWO degrees I am unemployed. Well, it's not that I can't get a job. Just a bit picky. Another problem is that Yorkshire is severely lacking in volcanoes and earthquakes, and I don't know anything about anything else really.

I used to smoke loads of cigarettes, but I gave up. Booze and coffee are probably still killing me, though.

I'm a total fucking poser and touch my hair at least once a minute.

I can't drive, which is a constant source of shame and inconvenience. One day I'll learn. Really.

I'm gay, but don't let that put you off.

These things make me happy:
- my wonderful, lovely, handsome man, Max,
- music. I love music. Current favourite bands are Cursed, Snowblood, Pelican, Red Sparowes, Intronaut, Transmission0, Grails, Ceremony and Giants.
- taking photographs,
- the countryside,
- eating,
- my friends; they're fantastic,
- wasting time,
- prancing like a tit,
- my cat,
- nature/science ..aries,
- getting absolutely wankered and behaving like a fool,
- buying more clothes and shoes I really don't need.

In five days I am 26. Normally I'd be drifting towards a pit of depression about the fact that I'm getting older and I'm still not doing anything with my life. However, I am now doing nice things with...

Some photographs

Here are some pikatures from Kirkstall Abbey, taken with the shitty camera without any proper zoom or concept of depth. I have slightly faffed with them. Oops, and just realised they've not been resiz...
