I am here for Friends

About Me

If I had to describe myself with words beginning with "c" only; creative, courteous, cunning, clever, cockhead (I bet you weren't expecting that!) Though why I'd have to describe myself using c words God only knows?....Maybe if a "Use only Letter c Day" was strictly enforced by government at some point and I just happened to have planned to write my “About Me” Myspace section that day? Well as that is not the case just yet....I am an English guy from, well, England…let’s not go into specifics. I like reading books, listening to music, watching people play music, ruffling dog’s ears, playing piano and diving from side to side. I also like writing, I write for Street Press Australia's Melbourne magazine - Inpress, mostly about music but I occasionally cover comedy and the arts. I also write for post-punk.com and occasionally submit articles to various other websites. I sometimes put together promotional blurbs for bands too. I am currently researching a book I will be writing, which is quite exciting, like bright lighting, and kiting, but not fighting, or biting. I like other things too but you’re probably already horrifically bored so I shall shut up now.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

If I was forced at gun point to describe an ideal friend type using only words beginning with "b" I would reluctantly say; blithe, bright, bohemian, bookish, brainy. However, if you have any other attributes beginning with "b", or any other letter for that matter that you think I may find appealing please feel free to fill out the application below...there isn’t really an application by the way though it would be fantastic if there was; I could even conduct interviews to find the most suitable applicant to be my friend. Why anyone would go through all that rigmarole though I really don’t know as all my previous friends I’ve had to pay or blackmail to hang out with me.
