I am friendly, mostly mellow, and shabby chic.
My Self-Summary
I like to think I am a modern gentleman but probably come across as
more of a lazy bum, I can be a bit shy sometimes but I warm up to
people pretty quickly, I'm rubbish at small talk but good at
talking rubbish.
I love listening to
music, I like lots of styles and genres
and refuse to shut up about who I've just discovered that everybody
just has to hear. I'm a gamer, but I'm trying to strike a balance
between seeming nerdy and outright lying so I won't elaborate. I
like travelling and experiencing different cultures, seeing their
stuff, eating their food, using their fancy or not-so-fancy
toilets.
I enjoy seeing friends, meeting new people and having fun, but I
guess that's a given, when left to my devices I'm a creative person
and will work on my
graphic design skills, go out
taking photos or do some noodling on my keyboard (badly).
I try to inject a bit of humour into everything I say, but
sometimes I'm too dry or subtle so others don't get it so I have to
tell them why what I said was funny, and then it turns out that
they did actually get what I said, they just didn't find it very
funny and feel a little miffed that I've underestimated their
intelligence...
What I’m doing with my life
I've just come back from a 5-month trip around the globe, I visited
Japan, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand and America, I'm currently
adjusting back to reality and wondering what my next adventure will
be...
I’m really good at
Making music playlists, playing
videogames, mucking about on
Photoshop,
generally wasting time.
The first things people usually notice about me
When people meet me for the first time, they think I'm a bit weird,
then they get to know me better and still think I'm a bit weird,
apart from that, my glasses - but sometimes I wear contacts so I'm
not sure...
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I generally read pop-science books, stuff like The Never-ending
Days of Being Dead by Marcus Chown, the last fiction I read was
Mort by Terry Pratchett.
Favourite films include The Big Lebowski, the Indiana Jones
trilogy, Bond films, O Brother Where Art Thou, the Back to the
Future trilogy, Hot Fuzz, Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon.
Maybe you can tell but my major culture intake is music - I'm into
Rock, Hip-Hop, Electronica, Jazz, Funk, Soul, any mix of those and
more, my favourite bands/artists include Radiohead, Queens of the
Stone Age, Beastie Boys, PJ Harvey, Muse, Bonobo, Cinematic
Orchestra, Mark Lanegan, Kula Shaker, John Frusciante, Portishead,
Martina Topley-Bird, Cibo Matto, The Hives, DJ Shadow, Saul
Williams, Death In Vegas, Gorillaz, UNKLE, Cut Chemist, Nine Inch
Nails, Seasick Steve, RJD2, Quantic, Future Of The Left, Kid Koala,
Brazilian Girls, Aesop Rock, Money Mark, C-Mon & Kypski, The
Vines, Jaga Jazzist, Acoustic Ladyland...
My favourite food is smoked Salmon, I like Italian, Asian, most
seafood but I'm always up for trying something new. I'm a
pescetarian, which is like a veggie but I eat seafood - so I guess
that makes me a "pesky".
The six things I could never do without
1. My music collection.
2. Good food.
3. Friends and family.
4. Broadband.
5. A sense of humour.
6. My glasses.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
The big questions about
the universe, what happens when you
die,
time
travel, the future...wooooo...
On a typical Friday night I am
At home browsing the web, listening to music,
relaxing and/or playing games, but
still wishing I was out in town.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I don't have a job, working on it though.
You should message me if
You feel like it, if you've seen one of my interests and thought
"Oh, I like that too actually.", if you love to talk about music,
videogames, travelling, graphic design and all that, if you have
any questions, if you're bored and just want to type some letters
into a white box, if you're happy and you know it, if you got this
far though my profile without hitting 'Back', even if you only
skimmed through picking up
keywords.
