Why, hallo there. I just stumbled across this wee site and felt compelled to click the
Register button. Alright, so here goes, I'll answer the questionnaire and fill in any gaps later on.
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
Job: Processor in a wholesale foreign exchange department... soon to change, maybe.
Hobbies: I play guitar, bass, keyboard, and am currently bringing myself to learn how to play that cheap violin standing in the corner.
I sometimes write beat poetry, humour poetry and occasionally write outlines for stories I will never flesh out and publish.
I brew my own beers and ciders. I've only gotten back into this after about four years of not. I had a number of near-undrinkables due to the impatience and inexperience of youth, this time things are coming out much better.
I also have an easel with a canvas that's waiting for me to get out of my visually-artistic funk.
Occasionally photography.
2. Where are you from?
I am currently situated in Melbourne, Australia. That's pronounced "
Melbrn" by the locals.
3. Who is your favourite author?
I have a number, I suppose they can be narrowed to the following:
Ben Elton
Chuck Palahniuk
Douglas Adams
Ian Irvine
4. What are your favourite films?
Same as above, too many to mention but here's a selection:
Star Wars III - VI
The Terminator
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Hot Fuzz
Persepolis
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
I think the wedding itself might have a set of bag pipes, but the reception may have the following:
The Clash -
White Riot
The Pogues -
Dirty Old Town
The Cure -
Friday I'm in Love
The Dubliners -
Fields of Athenry
Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros -
Redemption Song
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds -
Do You Love Me
And other wildly inappropriate tunes.
6. At your funeral?
The Eagles -
The Journey of the Sorcerer (otherwise known as the theme tune to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Exploded. But most likely beaten to death by a Scot in Aberdeen after saying something inappropriate after drinking too many ales awaiting passage to Shetland.
8. What kind of casket would you want?
No casket. My funeral will take place on a windy cliff overlooking the sea. I will have my body laid on a pyre. I will be tied by the ankle to a trebuchet. There will also be a pyre at the base of the trebuchet. These pyres will be set alight and my flaming body will be flung off said cliff into said sea.
9. What's your FAVOURITE outfit?
Usually it's just a t-shirt and black jeans. Otherwise it's a suit.

The Sooty Show

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Education with a major in Drama and a sadly incomplete Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Science.

Because I could.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
