I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm Alex, 19 years old and am doing a degree in Game Art Design at De Montfort University in Leicester, thats computer games just to clarrify. I could have done something more prestigeous, but I always prefer to do what I want rather than what would look good on a CV. The things I enjoy most are reading, writing, art, computer games and just chatting to people. Which means my university course basically consists of my hobbies. So yay for that.
I'm slightly quiet when I first meet people, but talk a lot more in smaller groups when I know everyone, I often resent people with power on principle, partly because I always favour the underdog, and partly because the best challenges come with the biggest opponents. In normal circumstance that results in me rejecting fashions and fads on principle.
My sense of humour generally revolves around mild sarcasm and extreme surreal. According to others a good person to talk too if you've got troubles, not sure why precisely, seems I'm just a calming influence, apparently I'm one of the few guys whom I know of who prefers talking about their problems and about other peoples problems, oh well.

I already mentioned that I'm an artist, so here's a little thingamy - thats my picture on it, so yay for that. Anyways its a charity thing where you go and design a little square of art and raise money for charity - its both fun and charitable!

My Interests

Art (drawing and painting) - Reading (Sci-Fi and Fantasy with odd bits of horror), I spend ages just chatting to people on the phone, on MSN or in good old fashioned real life, I play PC games a bit, mainly RPG and some strategy. I write a lot, again Sci-Fi and fantasy, both in short stories and longer stories. I run my own site, which I'm quite proud of if I do say so myself, its www.alexjholt.tk and is three years old now if I am correct. I also do lots of photography on a kind of lets take my camera along because there might be something itneresting kind of level.

I'd like to meet:

No one particularly really, I don't go in for the whole celebrity thing, in terms of what kind of person I would like to meet, I just like to meet people with a similar outlook on the world to me, or people with similar interests or just anyone who wants to be civil and have a chat about whatever.

Music:

Varied and unconnected to say the least, I judge it on a song by song basis.... To produce a vague kind of list however.... Muse, Razorlight, Magic Numbers, Maddy Prior, Louis Armstrong, Alex Parks, Billy Joel, Snow Patrol and various odd pieces from dozens of weird places

Movies:

Kill Bill, Mirrormask, The Village, Collateral, Shrek, Green Mile, Nightwatch (The Russian one...not the Tom Cruise one, which I've never seen), Last Samurai, Lord of the Rings, X-men 2, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Television:

To be honest I don't watch a great deal these days, but I do watch the following when there on: Simpsons, Futurama, Farscape, QI, Have I Got News for You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Robot Wars and Malcomn in the Middle.

Books:

I really prefer it when it says authors, so: Neil Gaiman, Robin Hobb, Terry Pratchett, Terry Brooks, Tad Williams, Tolkein, Frank Herbert, Jack L Chalker, Anne Rice, Julian May, Phillip Pullman, Douglas Adams, David Gemmel, Stephen King, Mercedes Lackey

Heroes:

Much as many people have done many incredible things, to have anyone real as a hero is only to limit myself - to save the world from itself would be the ideal, but I'll settle with staying being me despite the rest of the universe, which few enough manage these days.
