Your Notes
Edit your notesI am musical, thoughtful, and cynical ;).
My Self-Summary
I'm English, so writing about how great I am doesn't exactly come
naturally. I will try to temporarily suspend my instinct to
self-effacement.
I'm smart (or "too clever for my own good" as my teachers used to put it), I can make people laugh (as long as you like humour of the black, deadpan variety), I can be good at most things that I apply myself to (playing music and writing are what I'm trying hardest at).
I'm an honest and straightforward sort of person (hence the username ;) and I want the relationships I have with people (friends or otherwise) to be that way; I'm not interested in emotional games.
Although I can be a bit shy at times, I'm not afraid of saying what's on my mind, even if it isn't always what people want to hear.
I'm somewhere between a lovely naive fluffy bunny and a hardened old cynic :)

What I’m doing with my life
I work promoting websites, which is an interesting enough job and
I'm successful at it, although it is more of a means to an end than
something I would describe as my calling. I'd probably jack it in
to drive around in a battered old van playing songs if I could.
Writing words and music is more what I care about. I'm still working on an album of songs and a book of short stories/poems that I'm totally happy with, but that's probably because I'm too perfectionist about things I create. Creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin, I suppose.

The first things people usually notice about me
I look a lot younger than my age, and I can be a little nervous
meeting people for the first time.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I read as many books as I can, and I rarely read one more than
once. Off the top of my head, I like most things by Roald Dahl, Roddy Doyle, David Mitchell,
Chuck
Palahniuk and Jeff Noon. I also read a lot of
philosophy (the
course I never quite finished at University) from Kierkegaard to Schopenhauer. I occasionally
read "popular" science (like The World Without Us) and
politics,
although politicians are a depressing bunch.
I have a diverse record collection, and I like anything with "a soul" (in the general, rather than musical sense). It's hard to describe what that is, but I think you can hear it when people play - and it can be just about any music at all. I like guitary stuff like John Lee Hooker, Nick Drake, Dead Kennedys, Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, The Cure, Queens of the Stoneage. Pop like motown, Nina Simone or Stevie Wonder. I also like a fair bit of dance and hip hop.
I'm not so fussy about food, although I guess I can rustle up a decent meal. I like things I can cook without making them taste bad ;)

I spend a lot of time thinking about
I spend a lot of time thinking. It's probably a result of reading
too much philosophy. More recently I've been
wondering whether the time is right to launch my career as a
vigilante-style superhero, cleaning up the mean streets in
inappropriate costume. If I only I could figure out what costume.
See? All I need is about a hundred more martial arts classes and a
decent tailor and I'll be on my way ;)
On a typical Friday night I am
Perhaps in being quiet or out somewhere drinking. "Typical" is a
nasty way of putting it. I may be getting old but I'm not stuck in
my ways yet :P
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm known to talk in my sleep. Your guess is as good as mine what I
actually talk about. I'm probably inadvertently revealing my
innermost dark secrets ;)
You should message me if
I don't really mind why you would want to message me. I'm friendly
enough and I don't bite unless I'm allowed to ;)
