My self-summary
Mother (Ma) + Father (Pa) = Mr Wiggly (Me)
+ Heat. There may be some other chemical reactions taking
place but it was pure chemistry.
In the beggining there was nothing. Then there was a big bang.
Nine months later I was born. Since then, I have grown up
(physically, mentally is still debatable), failed miserably at
becoming leader of the known universe, and am sitting behind a
keyboard in Brisbane. Still, it could have been worse.
I maintain that I am insane, abnormal and on the whole very
weird. If I am one of the only sane people in the world then it
scares me to think that the rest of the world isn't. So this
illusion I have of being well balanced and lucid will only also be
apparent to other less sane members of the species. Oh, and cats of
course.
What I'm doing with my life
Waiting for opportunity to knock my block off and having fun in the
mean time. Any time not spent at work is then spent as a volunteer
with SES (State Emergency Service), helping friends move (slave
labour) or trying to avoid all of the above. I'm a bit of a sucker
in that respect. Sleep? What is that?
I've still yet to find my calling in life. If I figure out what
that is, I'll be very happy :)
I'm really good at
Telling really lame jokes and puns, reciting Monty Python / Red
Dwarf / Black Books....,
photography for some reason,
massage, tying knots, flicking people with tea-towels, getting
drunk...
Friends of mine ask me for advice a lot. I have a knack for
listening to people and seem to say something that helps them. I
seem to be able to read most people fairly well.
I'm also really good at being stood up, let down, strung along,
dumped, heartbroken, ignored, taunted, tempted and unrequited. You
may think this is a bad thing but I am ok with it, I don't get
upset about it anymore. I prefer to stay positive about it and stay
friends rather than lose someone special from my life. Yelling,
crying and begging will not help the situation, it tends to make
things much worse.
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
That I'm a tall bastard with a weird sense of... everything. They
also find out that I'm more than a little nuts. In a good way
though.

The six things I could never do without
Air, water, food, light, warmth, shelter.
This seems fairly self explanitary but for those of you who are
after a reasonable answer:
Nine Inch Nails, abstract thought, my computer,
humor, fire,
sight
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Why and when, philosophy, the meaning of life, perpetual motion (I
am oh so close to making it work), how the human race is doomed,
renewable energy / resources, the futility of politics, what goes
through the heads of stupid people, the good and bad of religion,
spirituality, what have I got in my pocket, how I can make others
feel happy
On a typical Friday night I am
Happy I don't have to work the next day. Planning the weekend
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here
I prefer the post-sex snuggle even more than sex itself. Intimacy
is better by far.
I hate being single, I much prefer to be with someone.
You should message me if
You are currently reading this with a smile on your face.
CAUTION: I tend to use puns a lot. It seems to cause pain in the
minds of other people who in turn direct violence towards me. I try
my best to keep the puns at bay but sometimes they cannot be
stopped
FYI: If you match around 70%, give or take, you probably have a
better chance than you realise.
