My Profile
by Sputnik (aged 22 and 1 week)
Having recently had a request for a profile I decided that it was time to take down the Eddie Guerrero memorial and write one, so here it is. I'm going to tell you everything except my name, because quite frankly although most people reading this are honest fans who just like my writing (an idea by the way, I really, really like) there will always be some fruitcake who will get all obsessive and crazy and hunt me down, flay me alive and turn my skin into some kind of interesting hat and jacket combination.
Anyway, for those of you really interested, here it is...
I am 22 and still work as a Kitchen Porter in a restaurant in Wetherby. For those of you that don't know (which I presume is all of you) Wetherby is a medium sized, moderately wealthy town 13 miles outside of Leeds in the north of England. I am not a professional author, because I really haven't tried all that hard to get published. I publish here and on Fanfiction (under the same name, Sputnik fans!) because it is really easy and doesn't cost me anything. You can just call me lazy but getting published (and getting rich) is a long term goal of mine.
I am a great music lover but you are unlikely to hear my album collection on the radio anytime soon. This is because my top five favourite bands are (in no particular order) -
1 - Avenged Sevenfold
2 - Iron Maiden
3 - Dropkick Murphys
4 - Trivium
5 - Flogging Molly
- who between them have about 37 seconds of airplay in the UK. However, despite my musical tastes I am not - as many think - a Goth, Satanist, atheist or general miserable bugger. I do enjoy going to watch these - and other - bands at live events, and have attended the last three Carling and Download Festivals. I'd attend more but I can't afford it.
I also like films. My favourite film of the last 12 months was Serenity and my favourite film of all time is Fight Club. I made a load of student films in the 18 months I spent at University but they were mostly filmedin theevening and arenearly entirely crap. Not my fault, it was just we were generally drunk when we made them.
For those of you still reading, I am several inches over six feet tall, incredibly pale, dark haired and dress like someone would dress if they spent five days a week cleaning dishes and scrubbing floors. I like drinking lots (JD and Coke, I thank you), socialising lots and hunting for another job and my greatest ambition is to one day tour with Iron Maiden. Of course I have to learn to play the guitar and join a band first, but a man can dream.
Also I implore you to visit www.joinme.info and www.citizensrequired.com. Both of these sites, set up by English madcap Danny Wallace are well worth a visit, and if you can't be bothered to visit then to hell with you, I've just written this profile you may as well do something for me.
That's it, I'm knackered. Keep on R&Rin.
Cheers!
