OK, so I'm quite tall, slightly geeky, but generally quite a nice bloke. Bit shy, then gradually more hyper as you get to know me. If it wasn't too obvious, I'd say that I like films, books, music and so on. I suppose I should say that I don't drink, so if you're looking for a boozy time, I might not be the best bet. Coffee is good, though. Judder, judder...

Not entirely sure what I'm doing here, but thought it would be good to meet new people.

I am creative, funny, and messy

I'm trying to scratch out a living as a writer. I mostly write fiction and while I've written a few novels, at the moment I'm having more success with novelty comedy books. It's early days, so don't get the impression that I'm earning Dan Brown-sized royalties, but I am starting to get a few things published. I also do some web design, graphics and animation. I'm not really very good at them, but enjoy it anyway. I like to try new creative stuff, but generally stay away from poetry, opera and interpretive dance.

Being modest?

I'm quite tall. Not Andre the Giant tall, but enough for some people to comment.

The realisation that this makes me sound sooo fucking nerdy

What would happen if...?

Having dinner with a few friends.

You want to have a chat and maybe meet up and have a wander.
