CURRENT MISSION

to eliminate the use of the word 'chillax' by 2020

ABOUT ME

I don't want to go on about myself, but as I said above I study history at Oxford, which is frankly fascinating and this obviously takes up alot of my time, but, hell, I love it. I like to think that I am friendly and approachable and can get on with almost everyone. I furthermore pride myself on being exceptionally English, but I am not sure whether this is a good or bad point. I serve at my local Church, am a very keen thesp and have starred in several recent Oxford productions - including Oklahoma!, Oliver, Night of the Iguana, Tale of Two Cities etc... I am also the captain of my college dancesport team, which is very fun. Yet dispite all the dancing and acting I remain inexplicably straight; it is a strange world.

I am currently on my first real travels during my Summer holiday and loving every minute of it.

PHILOSOPHY

Kill them all and God shall know his own. Good old Simon de Montforte

Music, Movies, and Books

Not a big movie fan but I do love Pulp Fiction for being so damn cool, School of Rock for being so damn fun and the Factory Girl for being so damn sweet. There are a lot of other good'uns out there I guess.

Music: Rock 'n' roll -- favourite bands are AC/DC, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Blaze, Kiss, HIM, The Offspring.

Books: Montaillou, The History of Sexuality, the Gormenghast trilogy, The Don Camillo books (lovely, lovely, lovely), The Dice Man

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been to Download festival '08. Fooking brilliant. Also, I'm in America right now, which is awesome. Plus, starred in a production of Tenessee Williams' 'Night of the Iguana' -- best thing ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

Never eat berries from poisonous trees. That's a lesson I had to learn the hard way.
