Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Hey I'm Mike, welcome to my profile. If you're looking for an incredibly tall, dark fella, you're not going to find it here. I'm afraid I can only offer handsome, but I'll throw in caring as a bonus. I also appear to be one of the few guys on this site who isn't a lecherous weirdo, so if you feel like talking to someone who isn't just going to say "hey, wanna have sex" then keep on reading!

I'm a student at Manchester Uni at the moment and loving the city and the life, but as I'm the eternal party go-er I thought I'd try on here and see if I could meet some new and fun people. I've got brown hair and I'm fairly short, with a quite muscular body.

I'm a music lover (although these days everyone says that) and used to host my own radio show on the student radio, which I'm hoping to carry on at some point. I'm not a very self-conscious person at all, and can generally talk to anyone about anything. I can make small talk for hours, especially towards the end of a night when the conversation inevitably wheels around to what's wrong with the world and big questions about the universe. I enjoy thinking about deep things even if it's completely pointless, although I try to stop myself from doing it too much because I realise the importance of living in the moment and making use of the time I have.

I love to go out most nights and have a few drinks with my mates. I keep a fairly wide social circle and love to meet new people. I always enjoy people's company, and truly enjoy knowing about people's lives and their experiences, because every story I hear and every tale I get told gives me more ideas and more insight into how other people work. It also gives me great ideas for things to write about and think about.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

At the moment I'm a student at Manchester University studying Psychology. I'm not sure what I want to do afterwards yet, although I'm fairly sure it won't be anything directly involved in Psychology itself. If I don't become a rock god or a dj (Hey, dreams can come true right?), I'll probably go into Marketing or Journalism. Whatever I end up deciding to do I intend to be successful at it. I'm blessed with a pretty good brain and tend to excel at most things I try at. You know those really annoying people in high school who never seemed to do any work, missed classes and did stupid stuff, but always got better grades than you? Yeah that's me. So once I actually develop a focus in life I'm sure I'll do well at it.

I'm also currently working as promotional staff for a comapny which runs some of the biggest student nights in Manchester, and am also holding a second job writing for an IT company which is wanting to expand at the moment.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

I've always had a talent for being people's "augony aunt", most of my close friends come to me when they have problems and I'd like to say I'm always there for them. I'm a good listener and have a great ability to see things from multiple points of view. I think people like coming to me because they know I'll be honest and tell them what I believe is the right thing to do. Of course most people will end up not following the advice and get themself into the mess I advised them to avoid, but hey, that's humanity for you.

Other than that, I'm a decent writer and enjoy crafting the written word. My muse has currently departed and I'm not sure when she's going to be coming back, so I haven't written much over the past year. I can't wait to be able to put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) and have that feeling of creativity flowing again.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

People tend to notice that I'm fairly short quite quickly (as my loving friends enjoy pointing out) and that I'm a generally happy person. People also tend to pick up fairly quickly on my accent, being a West Yorkshire lad.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Being the son of a Librarian means I have a fair collection of favourite books. I'm a fan of Ian Banks and Dan Simmons, but also a lot of lighter stuff, like the good old Harry Potter and His Dark Materials series. I also love a lot of older novels and I enjoy dabbling in poetry from time to time. I really love the work of Tennyson, although I'll always have a soft spot for "Jabberwocky" by C.S. Lewis.

As for movies, I'm a comedy lover, Sean of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are two which have to top the list. Outside of comedies I love things like The Matrix, Aliens, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Lord of the Rings, Dark Knight and anything by Tim Burton.

Music is a huge area for me with a massive range. I'm into so much it would be hard to go into it all, but a lot of bands and dj's, generally in the genres of Heavy Rock, Melodic Death Metal, Doom Metal, Electro, Drum & Bass, Indie, Pop and Classic Rock.

As a sample of my music tastes, here's a quick list of some of my favourite bands at the moment:
Amon Amarth, Queens of the Stone Age, Crystal Castles, Type O Negative, Primus, Dropkick Murphys, Venetian Snares, Queen, Jimmi Hendrix, Turisas, Turbonegro, Swallow the Sun, Stone Roses, Oasis, Muse, Simian Mobile Disco, Justice, Rob Zombie, Pulp, Prodigy, Pendulum, Libertines, New Young Pony Club,

As for food, I appreciate both good cuisine and slap-up greasy food. I love to go to nice places when I get the chance, but then again a kebab or cheese-burger after a good night out can be just as rewarding.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

My computer- I spend a lot of time on the net, talking to friends and catching up, looking up random things and generally browsing.

Facebook- It reminds me when events are coming up that I'm meant to be going to (and lets me see if I'm double-booked) and any birthday's that are coming up, and generally makes organising my life a whole lot easier.

Rock- Don't get me wrong, I love other types of music a lot, but I think that without rock music in my life, I'd go slowly insane.

Friends- Another corny one I know, but not for the usual "my friends mean everything to me" reasons. My close mates do mean a lot to me, but I put this because I'm a very social guy, and I love going out, meeting people and enjoying a bit of banter and fun.

A brain- I'm not a geek or in any way hard-working, but I like being able to think about deep things and generally ponder.

A soul- I try to be a good guy with my life. I try not to make people unhappy, I avoid violence and I try to keep other people happy as well as myself.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

The future, and how I'm scared that I have no idea what I'm going to do with it.

Death, and how I never want it to happen to me.

Life, and whether it has any meaning.

The universe, and whether there is anything out there.

Why people are the way they are to people, and ways of trying to show people that we really can all get along.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Getting heavily intoxicated with my friends, going out to a few pubs and a club, partying hard and generally living life to the full! Although seeing how Friday's and Saturday's are days where the clubs in Manchester tend not to do student nights and bump up their prices, sometimes we just stick to the pubs, or drink at the flat, save up the pennies for the more fun student nights throughout the week!

If I'm not out and about drinking, I'll at least be with some friends and doing something. I don't like doing nothing on a friday night and I can't hack being bored and sitting in on the one night of the week where I feel I should be doing something. I've got a reputation for being the person who you can rely on for wanting to go out. Absolutely cripples my bank balance, but hey, if I didn't blow my money on alcohol and get in ridiculous amounts of debt, I wouldn't be a real student.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I am actually THE perfect man. I'm just so ahead of the fashion and appearance trends that it'll be another fifty years before people realise it.
