I am articulate, fluffy, and relaxed.
My Self-Summary
I work in animation for film, tv and oddly theatre. Right now Ive
just finished working on a theatre production of
Peter Pan which will be opening
at the O2 in December; so Ill be taking this opportunity to
completely slack off for a while and have a rest.
Before this I spent a couple of weeks sailing around the Caribbean
while working on a musical show onboard a newly built cruise ship,
not every computer related job involves sitting behind a desk all
day :)
Other exciting productions include an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical
which included live animals on stage and bombed spectacularly, plus
an advert for evil marmite.
What I’m doing with my life
Staring off into space, looking at stars, wondering whats behind
them.
Thinking of
jaffa
cakes and
winegums
Got approved for a mortgage!, now pondering if I should be all
responsible and use my savings as a deposit or if I should spend
some time travelling around.
I’m really good at
Buying people awesome presents, previous greats include:
A unicycle for my brother's wife, wrapped up so tightly that it was
immediately obvious what it was sat under the tree, preceded by
plenty of faux "ooh, you'll never guess what it is!"
An Ann Summers gift voucher, specifically intended to be opened in
front of some fairly conservative relatives. Watching someone turn
bright red after opening their present is worth every penny.
The first things people usually notice about me
My height and my not entirely child friendly sense of humour.
Euphemisms are
a wonderful thing.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: I'd generally prefer to be writing them than reading them;
its taken considerable self constraint to trim all of this down
from the biblical length novel I was tempted to write. Not into
fiction much, I prefer a good thought provoking book; something by
Christopher Hitchens for example. You may not agree with what he
has to say, but its always a decent read.
Movies:
Monty
Python, The Green Mile, 5th element, 28 days later, Sean of the
dead and the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. The last wasn't the
best film ever made, but im in the credits so balls to anyone that
doesn't like it ;-)
TV: Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towels, QI, House and most standup comedy.
Bill Bailey is a legend
Music: Anything but jazz or country and western. Im not a fan of
jazz because you can't dance to it, tap your foot or sing along. So
what use is it? It's just trumpety noise. Country music is ok in
theory, but if I wanted to hear someone talk about their wife
leaving them, I'd be in the samaritans.
Food: Italian, mexican, english, chinese. Not so hot on sea
food.
Theatre: Well, not really, but Ive spent that past 2 years working
in theatre so I thought I should at least mention it. I still have
some ticket master vouchers from last christmas to spend, any
suggestions?
The six things I could never do without
A camera, because I know something awesome is going to happen worth
snapping one day.
Cheese. Proper
cheese, none of this squishy mould infested pap, or american
plastic stuff. Real 'goes well with pineapple on a stick'
cheese.
Cats with funny captions.
Decent chocolate, I'll happily nom some dairy milk, but I do like
the posh stuff :)
Moisturiser, because I'm worth it
Smoothies, the best way to get your 5 a day.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Completely unimportant, unanswerable things. What's at the end of
the universe? If it has an end, then whats on the other side of it?
If there's an end, why is it there?
I woke up at 2am recently all annoyed because I couldnt visualise
the fourth dimension. Not even the soothing tones of Carl Sagan on
youtube could put my mind to rest.
Why do we yawn? Can you keep a haggis as a pet? Why doesn't the
glue on sticky tape stick to both sides? Who buys a battery
operated vibrating razor from Gillette other than ladies who are
too shy to just walk into Ann Summers? If you keep mowing a garden
and dumping the grass somewhere else, does the lawn slowly get
lower and lower? What does the scroll lock key do?
7-up... seven what, and up where?
On a typical Friday night I am
Chilled out at home, glass of wine/cider/vodka tonic
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Cotton wool squeaks when you squeeze it.
You should message me if
You have a filthy sense of humor and feel the need to share it with
someone
You want to sponge my ticketmaster vouchers and go see
something
You have an unnatural attraction to 3D video artists
You want the most awesome shoulder or foot massage in the world
