I'm just 16, tall (6ft1), muscular (ish - well, I've been doing karate for 10 years, so I've got muscles - it's not my fault i'm slightly flabby on top of them!), short brown hair and hazel eyes, recently had braces removed, wear glasses.
love listening to music - esp. Iron maiden, led zeppelin, eric clapton, HIM, metallica, motorhead, nightwish, black sabbath (and, embarassingly, some shania twain)
love watching tv - esp. blackadder (series four is the best thing ever, and not just on tv, and the last episode made me cry the first time I saw it. not many things can do that. I have been criticised as being totally emotionless and incapable of crying. I sit there in movies and all around me are weeping and I'm like "yeah, so what?" - a bit like chandler in friends in "the one where chandler can't cry" - but "godbyeee" is just so beautifully acted and so sad that is manages to moisten my eyes every time.), fawlty towers, the simpsons, dad's army and one foot in the grave are also some of my faves.
I am just starting to learn the electric guitar - I can just about play 5 scales and 2 chords at the moment (so yeah, a definite beginner) - but maybe someday I'll be a rock star! lol! (after all, my friend (who is one of the most awesome guitarists I've ever seen) already has me writing lyrics for his band - which is kinda cool. plus i'm their official guitar techie - so I'm halfway to being in the band (now I just gotta get some talent!)
finally, I suppose inevitably, much of my life is taken up by school, so Isuppose I ought to say a little about JC the schoolboy. I go to the 13th best school in the country (but the 2nd best boys school) and I got all A*s apart from 1 A (in economics) in my GCSEs, which was really cool, because I got to go to the reading festival to see iron maiden as a celebration, which was the most awesome day of my life (screw exam results - i didn't care as long as I got to see iron maiden!)
anyway, hi to everyone that knows me on this site. I love you all (especially you, right here, reading this!)
introspection (the pros and cons of JC)
how much do you know me?
do you even care that you don't?
do you mind that my soul is a mystery?
If I asked you to describe me,
what would you say?
I know myself,
and will tell you all how I am,
what I am like.
I'm a dependable friend
when you need it most,
a rock when all else collapses,
your umbrella when the sh*t hits the fan,
but when little things go wrong,
an insignificant itch in your life,
I will rub salt into the wound,
make the bug bite worse.
I can keep a secret
hold it beyond time's last tick,
lips sealed totally,
but I wont, If I don't think it worth it.
when you are stuck in a pit
a hole that is inescapable
I will do everything I can to pull you out,
make ladders to help you climb free,
but if I think it is your fault,
I will definitely tell you so,
point out that you shouldn't dig so far down.
I will always joke about myself,
laugh off my imperfections,
not care if you call me fat
but will joke about you as well
expecting you to shrug off my laughs,
often causing offense.
so there you have it,
a tiny portion of my soul laid bare
a "me made easy" guide
to help you get to know me.
The question is,
now that you have seen the real me
do you still like me at all?
update: I'm now 20, one of those terrible university student-types, doing Mathematics (for my sins). I'm still kinda fat though :-P
