Damn, always hated self summaries, never known quite what i should put or how to start.

I'm a former ancient history and archaeology student, still hoping i may be able to get a job in that area eventually but having a very hard time getting there.

I'm left wing liberal, love politics and often have trouble understanding people who don;t take an interest in how their own country is run.

I tend to be quite shy at first have a good sense of humour and like making people laugh

I like all sorts of music but especially rock or indie stuff, like seeing films (new batman film was awesome) and have been know to have the odd drink, I also enjoy playing online computer games a fair amount, slightly geeky i know.

oh and i generally give up a couple of weeks a year to go dig holes as part of an archaeological excavation, many people don't understand why i enjoy this...

I am relaxed, attentive, and thoughtful

trying to find a job that interests and challenges me, preferably using some of my qualifications and yet also pays the bills, this isn't proving all that easy...

listening to people
working through problems
making good pasta

i'm pretty tall, i've been known to loom on occasion

this list is probably going to be very imcomplete

books, 1984, animal farm, most terry pratchet, frank herbet's dune series, 3 musketeers, most of tolkein, day of the jackal
I also read lots of non fiction, particularily history, i like reading classcial authors like plutarch, livy and arrian as well as more recent works

i like a pretty wide range of films, i like hollywood blockbusters like lord of the rings, transformers,star wars (although not the more redent ones so much the dark knight, shawshank redemption, seven etc

i'm a big fan of spagetti westerns i also really like anything by Akira Kurosawa.

I watch quite a lot of anime, bleach, ergo provy, trigun, ghost in the shell, howls moving castle, spirited away

Music, i like a very wide range of music, i like to think i like what i like rather than specific genres, that said most of my taste tends to fall into indie or rock categories, my 3 favourite bands (in no particular order) are Radiohead, NIN and Tool, i also like massive attack, cold play, morcheeba, foo fighters, gorillaz, hundred reasons, killswitch engage, rammstein, REM, a perfect circle, pantera, system of a down, and quite a bit more

food, i like pretty much all food from all cuisines, i love to try new things and experiment, i like to think i'd always at least try something once (although this has sometimes lead to trouble in the past... chickens feat should perhaps have been left on the menu)

I'm also quite a good cook and like to experiment

the internet (i don't like to be disconnected)
my iPhone (sad i know but i've come to really rely on the thing
my friends
being able to work on archaeological sites at least once a year
a good book
cheese, really, it's such the best food

anything but what i'm supposed to be doing, my attention tends to drift and i daydream about pretty random stuff

more often than not out having a drink, this may or may not end up taking up the whole evening, i like to let things just develop without massive pre planning

you want to....
