I've lived in Sydney just about all of my life and I didn't bother going to the Olympics when it was here (you get a much better view on the TV). I had been wandering aimlessly through life and then I wound up at university after something of a hiatus from the education system. Constantly harassed with comments of, "Could do better if he just applied himself," I felt as though I had eventually found some sort of place where I fitted in until the degree was over and they dragged me kicking and screaming into the workforce.

UPDATE: In the time since I last wrote in this horrible mess of a profile, I have completed two bachelor degrees in Communication and in Primary Education. The second one was actually useful.

Music is a large part of my life and I have an acute fixation with British rock bands namely, Muse, Radiohead, Supergrass and of course the oldies like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. I don't typecast my musical tastes and will give most other things a listen but generally not to the point of purchasing them.

I like Ice Cream.

At the present moment I am a primary school teacher (Elementary school for my North American cousins), and I must say that I'm enjoying it immensely. It is nice to be out from under the pump of working in retail (8 years) and I empathise with all of those who work in it. Next time you're in a shop, say please and thank you. Why don't you even try, "Have a great day/afternoon/evening." It's nice to show appreciation.

Apart from that, I'm trying to get back into playing some team sports because I gave them up in my final years of University. It's not until you stop doing those things that you realise that being a twenty-something is actually a secret code for fading metabolism. Also saving, but aren't we all?

Waiting for that phone call from someone to ask me to be in a band.

Playing guitar I suppose. I guess I've got a few years to top that. Writing, when I can be motivated.

Cricket (silly colonial sport)

I might be good at something else but I can't remember as such.

Hmm I guess my eyes, either remarking how blue my eyes are or the fact that I have girly black lashes.

(a) The Rum Diary - Hunter S Thompson (before he embarked on the whole drug fuelled writing saga). Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift (It still blows my mind how much social and political commentary there is in that book). Anything by Douglas Adams.

(b) Charlie Chaplin is not funny so Buster Keaton films all the way. Marx Brothers films are also still enjoyable even just for the musical numbers. My favourite non inglese movies are Cinema Paradiso and Life is Beautiful. Recently I have added Grave of the Fireflies to my favourite movies. It is an animated Japanese film about two siblings struggling to survive after the end of the Second World War. I'm such a cheery fellow. Don't worry, I do like other movies as well, I'm just a sucker for ones that can make you blubber. I'll chuck Monsters Inc in there as well just to show that I do like the odd laugh now and then (as opposed to the even laugh). I'm also a Bruce Campbell fan.

(c) Muse, Radiohead, Pulp, Supergrass, Gomez. It seems to be a fairly British line up so I shall add some Australian groups as well. Rocket Science, The Cat Empire, You Am I (their album Hourly Daily in particular), The City Lights.

(d) Italian, Thai or whatever is in the fridge.

Friends, Family, Music, Comedy, Good times in general and a good pair of shorts .... perfect for those long Winter nights.

Ponies

Possibly going out for a drink or playing guitar in a band that doesn't exist. At the moment though that is all a big lie. I'm probably asleep before your grandparents even start thinking about yawning

I was attacked by moths when I was a small child. The equivalent of Hitchcock for juveniles.

You can help me find what I'm looking for.

Or you like music, or something, or games. Or you like filling out conversation request forms entitled "Hey, let's be friends."

Or if you believe that The Littlest Hobo TV series was superior to Lassie and Benji.
