About Me


Woah there. I'm Dan, and I am about to start my third year of University. Where has the time gone? I'm studying Film & Television Studies, and at the moment I do not know what I want to do after University. Better make my mind up sharpish.
I currently live in Birmingham, which is alright when I am home. Although University does create a lot of debts so I cannot go out as much as I would like to.
When I am at University, I reside in the sunny coastal town of Aberystwyth. It is small, but it is also a right blast to live there. It definately has a curse that does not make you want to leave at all.
I like going to gigs and musical stuff. I went to Glastonbury 2007 which was awesome, despite the mud and rain (I thought that was included in the ticket price anyway?!). I also went to V Festival... bit more poppy I know, but Foo Fighters were there! So high five for that one. If I can be arsed to look for some, I also like going to a lot of smaller, local gigs.
Being a Film & Television student, I love the latest films, and also love a good television drama (although I must admit I mainly watch American imports... boo).
Other that that, there is not much more to know online. You need to know me properly, init.
So in the words (or lack of) from Dizzee Rascal at Glasto '07: ................ in a bit.
