I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Well that depends on what you want to know.

My Interests

Music, politics, football, It geekery, playing guitar, playing guitar hero, films, philosophy, science, nature, a spot of physics and a dash of chemistry, baking, sleeping, amateur radio, planning how I'll save the world, armchair megalomania, humanity.

I'd like to meet:

Bitter cynics, outspoken agitators, the terminally wasted and the fatally flawed, movie buffs and Hitchcock blondes, apathetic left wingers, unwilling corporate whores, fans of Das Boot, femme fatales, people with post millenial tension, cultural snobs, armchair psychiatrists, karmic debtors, and people good in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
Shit bands and people whoring webcams need not go to the effort of befriending me. And by shit bands I mean any bands - I've yet to be approached by a good one, and I've been approached by a lot.
