About me...hmm. What's to say? Sometimes, I'm a borderline sociopath and others a bubbling fount of laughter. My weapons lie in my pen/keyboard and my, oftentimes biting, tongue - be it in wit, argument or pure, unadulterated sarcasm (oo, my favourite). It is a tragic shortcoming of mine to insult everyone in my path, I just see the opportunity and strike, it isn't anything personal. I merely enjoy the chance to sharpen my wit for my next encounter with my older brother, who taught me how to trade verbal blows in the first place, and knock him down. No more little kid fishing for a good comeback. Of course, one cannot describe me without bringing in books- mystery, action, adventure, humour, sci-fi, fantasy and, of late, romance. If it's fiction, if it's well written, then I want it. Picture your dream home with the tennis court, arcade, pool - whatever floats your boat - mine has a huge library, floor to ceiling covered in books, comfy sofa, mini-fridge. A little sanctuary for only me.

But I am not without exposure to the modern, consumer-driven, pop-culture dominated, world. I have been known to obsess over various television series without coherent thoughts for days at a time, slave to my passion for whatever. Will power was never one of my strong suits. Music of almost every genre occupies me every minute it can, my head is my own personal jukebox that won't shut up when I try to do an exam. I just know I'm going to fail my GCSEs because the gramaphone in my head is playing a broken record and I don't have time to reach in there and yank it out.
