Summer is finally, sort of, here! Don't you love how the first few weeks of summer you do actually feel younger until the partying catches up with you? Yeah me neither.

I directed my first feature which was released in 2010, and am working on scripts and ideas for a second. I've completed two shorts which you can see at my vimeo page please let me know what you think, good or bad.

It's not that what I do defines me per se (it sort of does actually) it can make socialising with people at sensible normal times awkward as the hours aren't exactly regular, but I do love what I do and who wants normal and regular right?

Poly friendly but I prefer the term Relationship Anarchy ( What is Relationship Anarchy? and 8 Points on Relationship Anarchy ) as that seems to make more sense to me.

I don't work regular hours and they can change at short notice. It does mean that I try to make the best of my spare time when I have it. By the same token I don't discount the possibility that I might meet someone that could change my mind about relationships but I'm trying just to let things happen.

I seem to have "the over affectionate cat" personality type. In that as long as I get enough hugs, hair stroking and can occasionally lay my head in someones lap, then I can pretty much handle anything. And like the aforementioned cat, I don't like just anybody, but the people I like, I like a lot.

I've also started buying two tickets to things I want to go to and working things out as I go. So, next time I have a spare I'll post it on my profile.

This whole profile needs a major edit, and once I have the time to think of something that makes me seem interesting I'll do it, but in the meantime try to pretend I'm interesting and someone you want to hang out with (this disclaimer has been here for months but it's always true).

Oooh complicated question!

Hell if I know, I went from a Human Biology degree at KCL to operating tv cameras and now I even sometimes direct. Does that sound like someone who knows what they're doing?

Being Self Employed means I tend towards workaholism and it's rare at the moment that I get a chance to hang out with people I don't know, unless they're on film sets or in TV studios. That's something I'd like to change, hence my presence here.

Personal life? Mostly see above, but I'm open to pretty much anything and try to see the best in people (often to a fault), so if you're smart, witty and interesting please say hello.

Right dammit, I'm going to try and get back into fencing because who doesn't look good in the white suit with the sword resting tip first on the floor? (I failed)

Oh crap.

Arguing, so I've been told (Ok I mean more like told I can be argumentative). Then again you can learn a lot about someone not by what they debate, but how they debate.

I love to cook but I find myself inspired most when cooking for others rather than just for myself, I haven't had a dinner party in ages and I'm getting the urge...

I seem to be most peoples first tech support call, which is fine, it's nice to be needed, and I like to help, provided they don't take the piss.

Saying exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time, it's a gift.

Foot massages, no really, by a certain point in the evening there's always a woman who's choice of footwear can most charitably be described as questionable, that's when I shine. It seems that a number of you think is code for having a foot fetish. It's Not.

Answering match questions, as of Jan 2012 I've answered 4000 of the buggers and I'm really trying hard to resist answering any more since it's such a nice round number. (Dammit, I wasn't strong enough and now it's a pleasingly palindromic 4004)

I'm a good listener but often ruin it by offering advice.

On the negative side, I am trying to get over my need/desire to have the last word in a disagreement. Progress is slow.

There's probably more but not as much as I'd like to think.

I have no idea, I think i look fairly unremarkable really. I do sometimes take far more comfort in not being recognisable by even close friends than is perhaps healthy though.

I'm often told I'm blessed with youngish looks, which was a nightmare when younger and trying to get served in pubs, also, and people annoyingly keep pointing this out, apparently I'm well spoken.

And here I was wanting to be a bit of rough.

I know. The random Blond strip in my hair at the moment.....

I was bored!

Hmm.

I really can't be bothered to keep this bit up to date, so if you have a question about stuff please ask, but this is todays spotify playlist
. Sod it, it doesn't work, I'll fix it later

Lots of people have put their favourite TV shows on as well but I'm scared that if I do that, whatever vestiges of non-geekness I might have hidden from view may be exposed, so if you'd like to know, please ask, I take no responsibility for your massive disappointment in me after I answer however. Though there are enough clues in this profile if you've been paying attention. Correct guesses in a prize.

Though I am currently deeply in love with Da Chip volumes 1 and 2. They're remix albums of Daft Punk tracks using original 8-bit computer sound chip hardware. They're free on Soundcloud too!

Yes.

I know.

Me <-------------- Geek (I put this here 6 months ago, and I still listen to it please introduce me to some new music!)

Also after having seen them play last week in Brixton, am back on a Ben Folds Five tip.

Other than the obvious things?

Steamy hot snogging, because SNOGGING ROCKS
Sunshine
Trees
Laptop
Phone (curse of being a freelancer I'm afraid)
Music (and especially singing loudly in the car safe in the knowledge that not only can't you hear me, you can't see me because that would be too horribly embarrassing for words)
Imagination
Mangos (Golden ones from Pakistan, they are amazing)
And good coffee, instant doesn't cut it.

Yeah and sex too.

And no I don't care that I've put more than six things, I want it all.

In no particular order....

Pictures
My Accounts, I hate paperwork
My Friends
Work
Whichever random New Scientist article about cosmology, quantum mechanics or whatever other mind bending thing in there I last read (Currently reading "The Goldilocks Enigma")
The 4 different scripts I'm working on at the moment and how I really should be writing and not editing this profile. Trust me, they're all AWESOME.

Why people answer yes to the question that asks if you'd strongly prefer to date someone from the same race as you they then make the answer public, confirming their racism publicly. Seriously! I'd rather not know and think the best of you instead.

I think a LOT, often to a fault, certainly it's caused problems in the past. Wouldn't you rather ask me, than me just tell you everything up front?

I'd much rather have a conversation than be judged on the basis of a few lists that can't hope to tell you enough about someone.

I want to say something cool, but mostly I'm working (except tonight as I appear not to be working and am just sitting at home waiting for you to say hello).

Wow that came off more pathetic than I expected.

I'm more of a weekday person, though there's never much in the way or rhyme or reason to it.

Yes that was a long winded way of saying I don't have a typical friday night.

I Love the theme from In The Night Garden, no really, it's wonderful, even more so when I see the effect it has on my nephew.

Oh and liking the Hitchhikers' books, especially the radio show (but not the movie, not that I hate the movie it just isn't in the same league) gets you a free pass.

I will like you if you have very blue or green or greeny blue eyes. I think that comes from jealousy as mine are a boring brown (not that I think your brown eyes are boring, I just see mine everyday, familiarity breeds yadda yadda yadda).

If you made and wore this on a date I'd probably fall in love with you

My nickname when I worked in a Pizza place whilst at University was "The Skidding Dictionary" (Long story, but it was a compliment)

Also don't be fooled by this profile, I can be a bit shy, which can manifest itself as repeatedly stalking a profile until I have the courage to send a message. I'm much better one to one or in small groups, drop me in a party and I'll be the one in the corner pretending to check their phone, even as far as pretending to check voicemails.

I'm such a loser.

You want a long varied and interesting conversation on almost any subject, I can't promise I'll know a lot about it, but I'll do my best to ask sensible questions when you lose me.

You're not passive and are occasionally willing to initiate contact rather than quietly fume because the other person hasn't picked up on your telepathic signals that you'd quite fancy a chat. Seriously

You're a compulsive gig goer that always seems to have a spare ticket and wants someone to have a beer and a chat with afterwards.

You're a writer and you want to make sweet sweet... scripts together. That didn't work did it? Hence why I need your help.

p.s I know it's not the done thing, but I quite like IM. No, I'm not one of those pervs that'll ask you to take clothing off , it's more about the immediacy of a conversation and thinking on one's feet rather than mail exchanges which can end up being long lists of point by point rebuttals or answering of questions. SO if you want to say hi on IM please do.
