CURRENT MISSION

Jaysus I'm only 20 give me a couple of years before asking me that one

ABOUT ME

Right.... I don't actually know how to describe myself- the best way to get to know what someones is like is by spending time with them, see where I'm going with this? ;P. However when faced with a problem I did what I always do and went on Facebook. Hope the below descriptions help (please bear in mind of the possibility of SLANDER):

DES COX IS:

passed his theory test and is now licensed to be your personal chauffeur.. and let's face it, boys with cars are so much cooler than those without. How you are as a person is merely a side note actually.. If you have a car..

A young man who enjoys stressing. He likes to stress out about work. Or college. Or his afro. Or the little girl from Slumdog Millionaire being sold for $200,000. Or summer. Or interrailing. Or Couch Surfers. Or what to wear. Or his social life. Or exams. Or whether he has a chance at being hired as a male aupair. Sometimes he likes to stress over other peoples stress. Sometimes, he just likes to stress over stress itself. But this is why we love Des. Even though his stress over our stress makes us stress about why we aren’t stressing, until we stress ourselves out to the point to realise we don’t need to stress, because Des, that beautiful-I-will-always-walk-home-from-town-with-you-even-though-I-can-afford-a-taxi-and-really-want-to-just-go-home-for-dinner-but-fine-FINE-I’ll-be-a-good-friend-young man, is already doing enough for all of us :)

is a nice young man with a lot to offer the world.
and is also just a young guy trying to have a good time.

Chris Soikāns at 22:30 on 12 July
is an alternative guy who just likes LOL-ing with people.. he is also an egocentric, attention seeking individual who beyond all good reasoning has chosen to see what his "friends" think of him by abusing Couch Surfers

a Gemini with a double Capricorn moon. He has a bachelors degree in Fashion Merchandising from UCLA where he was Sigma Sweetheart and president of Delta Nu sorority and founded the charity 'Shop for a Cause'.

Des Cox, an intellectual being with a thirst for knowledge and an appetite for learning. As an ambitious individual, he seeks the most from life and can often be seen playing Croquet in the Rose Gardens - An avid sportsman, no doubt. The good sir possesses the noble skills to study the Studies of Europe. With this, the charismatic scholar shall go far!

Des Cox....eh really TALL so will need one hell of a couch:P is a charming and handsome youth. His hobby's include Drama,traveling and could talk to a brick wall if he needed to :D

PHILOSOPHY

"If you keep one foot in the past and one foot in the future you end up sh**ing all over the present" - try really hard to focus on where I am when I am etc Easier said then done.

"Treat both success and failure as the same both are imposters " - great words from a wise man, my da. (pretty sure he stole them off Kipling though)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favourite memory so far is that time in the ghetto, in Hanoi, on the lake, in a boat, at a gay bar, with the "ambassador for singapore"(and his wife?!)getting shots bought for us.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a knack for languages, and my English is alright!I'm a huge acting fan,and have tried my hand at a good few plays, I'm not sure thats a transferable interest though, so lets just stick with languages in terms of teaching! I have intermediate French, and advanced Spanish and a bit Irish!
I'm learning to cook so if you're feeling dangerous and want a culinary adventure I could make you a meal! Or you could teach me as I have alot to learn....
As part of my fascinating course, I have an indepth knowledge of the magnificent political structure of the riveting EU. Questions please?!! Anyone? Anyone at all? No didn't think so....that's ok..that just means we're more likely to get on...

Or you could just share a sneaky coffee and/or pint with me!
