About me

I am me. I am not a "goth" or a "techno-head" or a "geek" or a "wiccan". I just resemble them. I am me.

In summary: Cats, cats, cats... Coffee, coffee, coffee... Bounce, bounce, bounce... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I live with my cousin, not that he's ever home. We're looking for a third housemate right now. I also live with my precious cats: Gwen (Guenevere) and Litha (Summer Solstice). Friendly, loving and firece. They are kind to most people, but won't take [nocando] from anyone. There are dogs that refuse to walk past our house.

I have always been intelectual, to the point where it causes insomnia. I grew up in the suburbs and went to school in the city, Melbourne. It was an elite school, but not a private school. Unfortunately, my smarts worked against me. I breezed through high-school and started University. I then started failing because I had never learned how to study and was too apathetic. I made it halfway through a Robotics and Computer Science course.

I have usually been the outcast amongst people, very much bullied before arriving at the above school. Now I generally only keep dear friends close and don't worry about all the "acquaintances". I've just come out of a five year relationship that probably should have ended three years ago. Oh well, at least we're all still alive.

In high-school, I started working for a convinience store called Hand-E-Food. Since then, I've stuck to the name. Now I work for a government contractor doing everything that no one else does, mostly special projects and application design. I mostly work alone (though surrounded by people). The pay is crap (due to the industry) and it's too far from home, but I love what I do. (Such as surf the net... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )

Not suprisingly, I'm a gamer. Computer games, board games, card games, role-playing games, mind games (both puzzle and personal <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ), ... Mostly I prefer something with a good story or a builder game, but shoot-em-up is good for when I'm stressed.

I don't watch TV for the most part, but have a decent DVD collection. I like my share of mindless action, but mostly I watch thought provoking films, so a lot of anime and art-house stuff. I love music and, to a much lesser degree, song. Mostly I prefer electronica, drum & bass, goth rock and orchestral, though most genres appeal in their own way and in their own time. Dancing is also fun. It's great once you've learned how to be uninhibited without drinking!
