I am excitable, whimsical, and Northern.
My Self-Summary
Well, I'm a real human boy. I like exploring places, urban and
rural, drawing, writing and reading, and experiencing things I
never have before.
I currently live with a friend in a flat above a pub, where I spend
my time drawing, wearing hats I'd be too ashamed to be seen in out
of doors, working on a casual market computer game that will maybe
possibly hope-against-hope one day get completed and bring in the
£££'s, cavorting, and occasionally worring if I shouldn't be acting
maybe just a little more like a proper grown up by this stage of my
life. I turn thirty this year and I still get excited when I see a
kitten, people. :(
I have recently quit my job and begun university, and am generally
looking into expanding my social circle some. I need more
interesting people in my life!
What I’m doing with my life
My Day Job for the last six years or so was working as a civil
servant - quite literally Working for the Man. :( I have just quit
that, am now attending University, and I am currently throwing my
all into making enough moneys from more creative and artistic works
and projects in the hope of somehow making a living from the silly
comics I draw and computer games I make. It *could* come to pass,
man, it *could*. :P
I'm also drawing educational comics about animals (google for
Mobile Meat Machines) and working up a comic series on various
religious stuff.
I’m really good at
Being modest and not bragging on lists like this? :P
The first things people usually notice about me
Used to be my beautiful long ginger hippy hair, but it all got
shaved off for charity last autumn. :(
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books -
A few of the darker Pratchett ones
Even Cowgirls Get The Blues

All kinds of stuff! I'm currently on a big Dylan jag, though.

eggs.
The six things I could never do without
My friends
Energy drinks
Adventures
Places to wander around in

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Why people do the things they do, animals, religion - I'm not
religious myself, but am totally fascinated by it, the most recent
stupid thing I've said.
On a typical Friday night I am
Watching movies or playing games with friends, or wearing
headphones and trying to ignore the sounds of the Kareoke night in
the pub below my flat.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I once licked a life size statue of the Pope that was carved out of
rock salt. While I was several hundred feet underground.
You should message me if
you are fun, and if you want to!
