I hail from a city many seem to have an auto-hate on for; Surrey, but you know what? I will stand behind Surrey and its sheer greatness until the day I die, which will probably happen in some botched mugging the next time I visit down there. If you couldn't already tell from my picture, yes, I am a ginger and contrary to popular belief, yes, I do in fact have a soul. The fun thing about writing a bio is that you can "bend" the truth ever so slighty so long as it pertains to some sort of fact about yourself, for example: I have a really neat scar on my hand from, of all things, a pillow fight! How does that happen, you ask? I'm still kind of scratching my head about that after all these years... but it happened, kids will be kids!
Other things about myself, I have no shame so it does not bother me one bit to tell you that I am a massive geek, dork, nerd, whathaveyou... I am all of the above and it's pretty nice. I love movies, videogames, music... basically when i'm not working I am doing one of those things or sometimes a combination; a guy that can multi-task, I know, i'm scared too! I find you can really get to know someone by what their favourite movies are so I will share mine with you so maybe you can get an idea as to what I'm all about!
Top Five Movies:
The Great Escape
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Jaws
Memento
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
I actually really like making "Top Five" lists about many different subjects, kind of like John Cusack in High Fidelity, it's a system that just works! So while we're at it, also because I can and when I get writing I sort of fall into a groove, I will share with you some of my favourite bands! Music is a universal language, it appeals to everyone and it's a pretty decent judge of character, so here goes.
Top Five Bands/Artists:
Muse
The Strokes
CCR
Coldplay
Joy Division
