About Me



Me, myself, and I:
° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° °° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° °I was living in Sheffield studying Film, but I'm not anymore.
I think my circadian rhythm is out of synch.
I am 'droll'.

My Interests

Music and films are my main interests. I own too many CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and spend too much money on my 'home cinema'. I have a PlayStation 3 and a PSP, yet I am not a Sony fanboy. I drink lots of Innocent smoothies! I've cut down on my Subway visits, because I stopped being able to taste them, and the staff were making my orders for me. I avoid aspartame like the plague, and woe betide you if I catch you consuming it!

I'd like to meet:

I don't really mind.

Annoyances:
Cats, poor spelling/grammar, people who litter, compulsive liars, the common misuse of the word 'literally'.

Aspirations:
Move back to Sheffield, visit Japan, see Mike Patton live, stop being tired, gain some weight.

My Blog

I <3 Sheffield.

It was a lovely day today, so I thought I'd wander around and get some photos since I'm moving back to GY on Sunday. My batteries were running out so I'm going to take some more tomorrow. ...

The Blood Brothers

Saw 'em last month with Luce. Notice me onstage in the white t-shirt with the mic. ...

If you're lonely, get a lobotomy.

Wow, it's been over a year since I last posted a blog entry. I obviously have nothing interesting to say nowadays. No crazy stunts to post about anymore. Perhaps I should rectify this.   Blame Lu...

Only human after all.

GY's very own Spider-Man was sat on a bench, eating chips last night, when some girls went past and one said "hey it's Spider-Man!" *chortle*. So later on I decided it was time to "pwn" the front of Y...

So last night after Surfers I again decided to scale the beast that is the Yates wall, this time with Rob and Lucy being the lucky spectators. I think I probably got a little higher this time, due to ...

They call me Spider-Man.

After a night at Surfers, a portion of chips and a free pizza from VKH, I felt it was about time to tackle my climbing nemesis: the tall wall which is connected to Yates. I was climbing up a strip tha...

PokéSpace

I find MySpace to be a lot like Pokémon. There's nothing particularly special about either of them, but once you pop, you can't stop. You have to collect every single Pokémon/Person and you will do an...

...and the sequel: My sister just K.O.'d me.

My mum has a friend round, so my sister decides it's a good idea to show off. This comes in the form of beating my skinny ass in front of him to show how weak I am - MAN is she butch! She wiped the fl...

My pouffe just K.O.'d me.

So I'm sat half on my bed, with legs hanging over a pouffe turned on its side - you know, minding my own business, watching TV. And what happened next I could not have predicted. It begins to roll sid...
