I am prodigious, magnaminous, and indeterminable.
My Self-Summary
Not updated this in about 2 years so thought it was worth a
re-shuffle.
I am currently unemployed, having just finished at Thorpe Park for
the season. I am attempting to find an IT job, but no joy.
I really am a computer geek, and I am damn proud of it! I own a
PlayStation and a telly, although I don't own an aerial to go with
the telly. To be honest, I watch all of my shows on BBC iPlayer and
the like, so an aerial isn't really necessary.
I enjoy spending time with my friends, occasionally I go out on a
wednesday to Staines to have a few cheap drinks in Wetherspoons
before going to the pub where the cool kids hang out. Yes, I am
well aware that I am not one of the cool kids, being neither cool
nor a kid.
Nostalgia is a wonderful thing. Whether it's seeing clips on
youtube of TV shows you watched as a child, or hearing a song which
reminds you of your youth, it creates the same warm fuzzy
feeling.
I am certainly a firm believer in honour and respect. Manners and
politeness are 2 things missing from today's society. I will hold
the door for someone without even thinking about it, I give up my
seat on a bus or train for a more deserving passenger... It doesn't
cost anything but it helps.
That is all I can think to write here for now, I will try to update
again in the future.
What I’m doing with my life
Trying desperately to break into the IT industry. So far it is
going poorly, despite a BSc Hons in Multimedia Computing. Having
spent 6 months working at Thorpe Park, I am now back at the job
centre hoping in vain for new employment.
I’m really good at
Computery stuff.
I can also listen really well, and can certainly do my share of the
talking, even if it is occasionally random nonsense and/or obscure
jokes or references.
The first things people usually notice about me
I am almost always laughing. If I'm not laughing, its because I'm
thinking of something funny to say to make myself and other people
laugh.
Visually, I guess my only standout feature is my belly (which took
me 24 years to grow and I'm very proud of it!) and my furry face,
which ranges from small, controlled patch of fluff to full-out Chin
Afro.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
My reading has dropped significantly recently. I can count the
number of books that I've read this year on one hand. When I do get
a chance however, I like to read
autobiographies of people I
admire, such as
Ozzy Osbourne and
David Hasselhoff. I am
trying in vain to get into the
Discworld series by
Terry Pratchett, but so
far I have failed miserable, having read only the first book.
As for movies, I am always partial to comedies. My favourite movies
of all time are
Anchorman,
Sin City,
Ferris Bueller's Day
Off,
Animal
House and the like. There are exceptions to this rule, with a
handful of
action
films being in my collection. I am far from a fan of horror
movies, however I can enjoy them provided they don't try to take
themselves seriously and I can laugh at them.
My music taste varies considerably depending on my mood. My main
love is always going to be
classic rock, along the veins of
Ozzy,
Def Leppard,
KISS,
Iron Maiden,
AC/DC and the like. I am certainly not a
massive lover of Hip-Hop, at least not modern Hip-Hop. I do
appreciate early 90s Hip-Hop though,
Run-DMC etc. I am partial to a slice
of
Trance every now
and then, especially if I am going out, but once again it is only
really the early 90s stuff that interests me. Other than that, I
will listen to more or less anything.
Food is certainly a favourite subject of mine. I enjoy meat
especially, I am most definitely a carnivore! I don't really like
vegetables, although occasionally peas and carrots will grace my
plate, albeit in small portions. Fruit, however, is another matter
entirely, as I LOOOOOOOVE fruit.
I enjoy steak (medium), KFC, Chow Mein, Chicken Madras, Wagamama's,
Nando's, Pizza... basicly all the food which is bad for you,
chances are I will like it!
The six things I could never do without
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Everything, I overanalyse everything. My mind never stops. I think
alot about the past. Not that I've done anything particularly bad,
I just recall past events and wonder if things would have been
different if I had done different things.
On a typical Friday night I am
It all depends on the mood I'm in. I'm certainly not of the opinion
that I must go out EVERY friday night without fail. While I do
enjoy a quiet drink with friends and the occasional mad night out
clubbing, I'm also partial to a night in watching TV or movies. The
fact that it's a friday night won't affect that.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I still don't understand the purpose of this box, nobody is going
to admit anything that's actually private... I will admit that I
have a purely heterosexual (although some would say abnormal)
obsession with David Hasselhoff.
You should message me if
You enjoy intelligent(ish!) conversation, witty banter and can
tolerate my obsurdity!
