I'm a well-meaning, kind-hearted doofus apart from in the mornings. I like lots of childish, silly and fun things but I'm told I have a very mature attitude. I prefer staying up late to getting up early. I have quite a tasteless sense of humor which also isn't very subtle - I'd say sorry but I'm not. I swear sometimes but I'm polite all the time.

Whatever is delivered my way by good fortune, really. I've been drawing a lot of octopuses and doing some animation. For money I'm writing some copy and editing HTML. I'm also doing a lot of volunteering. Double also, one of these times I'll pass my driving test. Also X 3, I write a blog about adverts and geeky junk which you can check out here:

One Click Too Many

I should probably tell you now that I'm quite a geek. I know right? A white male into science fiction?!? Snap me up, ladies, you won't find that combination anywhere else on the internet!

(That was a joke. I'm not looking for a relationship or casual sex - just more and more excellent friends)

Chattering away endlessly. You have no idea how much I'm having to edit myself down for these boxes, so I don't trigger TL;DR. Ultimately I blabber away until someone (everyone) decides to shut me up.

I'm also not bad at sketches, drawing and modesty. I'm very happy to stay up past dawn drinking and chatting. I'm amazing at making things out of cardboard with my trusty glue gun. I'm also really great at making pancake/crepe things, which are good for any meal throughout the day or even a light snack.

Probably my beard, which is magnificent and thick. I shaved it off recently and for a while my face was bald. But it's fine, hair grows back. I look almost regal!

... If I do say so myself...

What, just one box for all that? Yeah right. These are some:

Books:

I, Lucifer by Glen Duncan. World War Z by Max Brooks. Almost anything by Alan Moore. ANY Terry Pratchett book, even the non-Discworld ones. All the Narnia but some more than others. The Many Words of Magnus Ridolph by Jack Vance and several other books too. The Necronomicon by Hewlett Packard Lovecraft. Anything William Gibson. Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. The whole Mortal Engines saga by Philip Reeve. Ian M Banks is a grudging favorite. Any Sherlock story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Compass Rose by Ursula Le Guin and almost anything by Italo Calvino for something less sciencey-wiencey.

Films:

Literally countless. My "Top 10 Favourite Films" list varies wildly depending on my mood, the genre, the time of year, what I've eaten, any solar flare activity, the positions of the planets, the arrangement of the stars... it changes, is what I'm trying to say. Here's a few that I'll always enjoy:
The Great Dictator, Science of Sleep, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mad Max 2, Fearless Vampire Killers, Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle (not everything by Studio Ghibli is gold, just most of it), Secret of Nimh (the first one, NOT THE SECOND), Evil Dead 2, all of the Wallace and Gromit films, The Muppet Christmas Carol and Treasure Island (looove the muppets), Star Trek: Undiscovered Country, Casablanca, Hell Comes to Frogtown/They Live, Ratatouille (makes me hungry every time), Groundhog Day, District 9.... I could keep going on...
My favourite zombie films are the remake of Night of the Living Dead, the 1978 Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead (of course), and Dead Snow. I'm very picky.

TV Shows:

Mostly cartoons - all the usual but also Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Yogi Bear, Topcat, Samurai Jack, Invader Zim and in particular Bucky O'Hare, to name but a few.
Game of Thrones (not as good as the books), Doctor Who, The Thick of It, Jeeves & Wooster.
I prefer Star Trek over Star Wars, I'll be honest, but I'll obliviously jabber on about both unless you stop me. R2D2 is my second favourite robot (Wall-E being first of course). DS9 is my favorite Trek - some might say that's unorthodox, but that's just how I roll, I'm a rebel baby!

Something to draw with - a pencil and paper, for preference.

A drink (not necessairily booze, but very probably)

A good view, or at least a window. I get claustrophobic sometimes. I'm on top of it - it's not like I start babbling and acting weird - but at the same time being very hungover on a crowded tube that gets stuck in the tunnel is a brief slice of complete hell.

Internet access. I can't wait until Google comes out with something I can just install in my brain - it'll be so convenient! Having said that, I'm hardly going to apply to be a beta tester

Something playing in the background - Mostly a TV show or a movie, sometimes music but not often

Punctuation! I love to punctuate. You might have noticed I also quite like HTML

Bending the rules occasionally. I'm chaotic good. For example: now I've listed seven things!

My latest daydream. I try to keep them going for as long as possible in my head, so that I can enjoy them while I sleep too. I'm quite into lucid dreaming, in an idle kind of way.

The only thing I can tell you for certain is that I'll be up late.

I look great in eyeliner. I used to have bright blue hair and even now, I sometimes really miss it
