What to say, what to say...I'm a 28-year-old Geordie who used to live in London but is now back home. By day, I teach design students how to use various programs, but outside of work, I'm a published writer, knitting fiend and evil genius. I'm just a hop, skip and a jump away from being a supervillain. I also have a published pulp Western to my name, called The Guns of Retribution.

I'm also a Pisces (as if that makes any difference), and I love action films. I'm a film scholar who specialises in horror cinema. I'm also a 'culture fiend', and I've got interests in most forms of design and art. There again, I also LOVE comics. I also hate seafood, most sport, and reality TV.

Not a Goth...not really an "anything". Most of the time I don't look like my photos since there's a time and a place for expressing individuality, and my boss would have kittens if I came in wearing hair falls and a corset. I'm fairly whimsical and I dress according to mood. I don't particularly want to fit in with anyone, and nor do I want people to feel like they have to fit in with me. *GEEK ALERT* After all, it's not like we're the Borg, is it?

I'm not especially bouncy or excitable, and nor am I "random" (urgh, I hate that word). In fact I'm actually rather grumpy and I'm about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the forehead. I also don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, and I will personally make your life a living hell if you insist on asking me why - I don't ask why you DO them, so why ask me why I DON'T?

Final point - PLEASE don't add me as a friend if you've never spoken to me. If you do it anyway, I'll know you haven't bothered to read my profile.
