Im a chemist. Id describe myself as - quirky, funny, Shy, introspective, friendly, bit(!) of a geek and thoughtful.
Im Tennis mad and i love stand-up comedy.

Some numbers for those more mathematically inclined. 26 years, 9 lives, 10 fingers, 11 toes.

Process/R&D chemistry - I like to pretend Im Walter White - This wears off however when dealing with personal care products.

Training for a 10K race (I wrote this a month or two ago, 'training' is a term used lightly)
*Update - blatant lie, ive stopped running entirely. I feel better for it now however..

Taking up the guitar, for the final time (this all started 15 years ago)

I spend each minute dreading the next one.

Getting my money's worth at all you can eat buffets
Daydreaming, and sleeping.
Knowing stuff about tennis. Tennis mad.
Building snowmen
Breaking things, including other peoples snowmen.
Dealing with paper jams in the office printer, and offering sound advice to avoid recurrence.
Party trick - I can eat a bowl of alphabet spaghetti and regurgitate the vowels and consonants separately.
