About Me

My name is Nik. I play guitar in 2 bands; Important-looking Pirates is a punk rock band and Trouble Breathing is an acoustic band. If a day passes that I don't pick up a guitar something is seriously wrong. My favourite thing in the world is being at a gig, either playing myself or watching somebody do it better. My second favourite thing is being across the road at Bramall Lane watching the Premiership Blades scrap for more vital points.
My life is full of wonderful memories and terrible regrets. The 'what if?' moments trace back almost as far as I can remember. I don't forget things easily, but mainly because I don't want to. My memory is one of my strongest assets. I'm not perfect, but nobody is, and the things I can do I do very well. Things that I have no interest in I don't concern myself with at all. I like to be challenged to think about things or from angles I haven't previously considered. I have a mathematical proof that everything is impossible. I like the colour orange. My hair changes colour and shape often. I would like for something exciting that hasn't happened before to happen, like an alien invasion, or the entire planet flooding, or the apocolypse. I don't believe they will, but I don't believe they are impossible. It is logical to believe that life exists somewhere else in the universe.

My Interests

Music, football, films, food, breasts

I'd like to meet:

A lady born and raised in Sheffield, who grew up a Blade. She would be a year or two younger and an inch or two shorter than me. She would like most of the same bands as me and like my bands too. Maybe she'd play in a band herself. Her IQ would be at least 120. She'd have chin-length dyed hair, a bright colour, probably red or pink, and a ring in the middle of her lip. Her eyes would be big and blue. She would remove all my fears and obsessions by lying down and falling asleep with me and never wanting to wake up again.

I don't think this person exists.
