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

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

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.
