About Me

Hello my name is Martin, i was born in an ace town called Castleford
I moved to Manchester to study music at unuiversity.
I'm a male with constantly growing hair. My birthday is the day after my Dad's and two days after my grandads(R.I.P).
I live in Withington, Manchester and i love it. I am too nice to people. Sarcastic and silly to start with but get extra sarcastic and silly when im nervous.
I like: Withington, good films or really really shit films that make me laugh cos they're soo bad,upbeat French songs, iced mochas, swing dancing
(jitterbug 1939)
dancing and not caring on a night out, people who are crap at dancing like me, the first time you listen to a great song or see a great band (www.myspace.com/onionstheband)- the most recent is 'the book i read' by Talking Heads, or watch an ace film - most recent for me has been The Science Of Sleep, i love random acts of kindness and tend to do as much of it as possible
things I dont like: hanging up socks after theyve been washed and general pairing of them together, people who take my sarcasm the wrong way, people who wear white or cream trousers (especially men,middle aged), not having words to say what I mean even when I try really hard, PIGEONS, the little fuckers!buses in manchester that stop for aaaages at bus stops when there's no one getting on or off, not being good at anything to do with grammar or spelling, rude people, people who don't try to hold a conversation, blisters, people not listening when I talk but expecting me to when they do, the crap feeling when water goes up your nose, people who interupt, screamy music, jocks, skol, cheap wine (Soave), Pontefract.and i think that is good point to end on
