Here's just some of the things that make me tick -

The great ­outdoors, ­the privat­e indoors.­

Strong cof­fee, stron­g beer, st­rong chees­e.

Strong wom­en.

British we­ather, wha­tever time­ of year. ­

Waking up ­before the­ alarm clo­ck - rare ­but nice. ­

Healthy ea­ting, usually

Music, mus­ic, music ­- with lot­s of BBC6 ­

Lifes unex­pected twi­sts - well­, most of ­them.

The off bu­tton on my­ tv.

Raucous cl­ub nights,­ in modera­tion nowad­ays

Photograph­y and cycl­ing, separ­ate or tog­ether.

Camping, f­ires and s­tarry skie­s.

Going to b­ed to the ­birds morn­ing call.... refer back to that moderation bit above ­

The web - ­my own enc­yclopedia ­in the lou­nge.

Nonsensica­l conversa­tions with­ friends. ­

Spontaneit­y, creativ­ity, and l­ashings of­ stupidity­.

Living 200­ yards fro­m an off l­icence.

Art/design­/evolution­/history/p­olitics an­d other br­ain food. ­

Tinkering ­with thing­s.

The Guardi­an, Times ­and other ­online pap­ers.

My bed - w­e don't sp­end enough­ time toge­ther.

Cooking fo­r two.

Not having­ a regular­ 5-9 exist­ence - how­ do you do­ it?

Daydreamin­g/plotting­ and schem­ing.

Other peop­les pets -­ my life w­ouldn't be­ fair on o­ne.

Finally le­arning how­ not to ki­ll the hou­se plants ­- H2O... D­'oh.

Enjoying what I have, trying for more, and hoping to meet someone very special along the way.... is all very true if a little dull, so I'll try again.

I'm a year into a new self-employed career which I completely love on all levels except the pay... which isn't appalling but more would always be nice, so thats what I'm working on at the moment... and hoping to meet someone very special along the way.

Waiting until the last possible minute to get out of bed while still making it to wherever I have to be a few minutes early and still looking calm and collected when I arrive.

I'm having to guess here as I don't usually ask, but I'd go with my hair, my height and, annoyingly too often, my trousers still tucked into my socks long after being anywhere near a bike.

Assuming air, water, food and sleep are givens

Friends
The internet, it feeds my brain
My main bicycle (sorry to my other 2 lesser loved bicycles)
Optimism
Thought... kind of important, I think
Errr... I'm stuck for this one,... defecation, I'd hate to explode leaving someone else to clear up the mess.

What am I going to eat tonight, are my socks dry yet, wheres my phone, why is Cameron such a c*nt, who would win in a fight between forty midgets and a lion, the youth of today... pffft, is that car gonna stop or splat me, who's up for going out this weekend, should I lower my standards, why didn't I buy more eggs, is it summer yet,... and other such trivialities.

...usually with friends, which could be in or out.

I'm also sclavy on FL, if that makes sense to you I'm probably interested in knowing you.... and my profile there says alot more about that side of me.

Anything about me intrigues you, more so if you have any dominant/assertive traits that require a (very willing to please) muse to make them real... we only live once.
