About Me
|- |
|
Me, in extreme closeup |
Presently, I am a student who is working full-time at the Nationwide, one of the UK's most prominent building socities. The plan at the moment is to acquire funds to help towards university fees, and also for travelling; I and a friend are planning to go to Japan, Australia, Fiji and the United States of America. In between the working hours and my eventual desertion of this country, I spend time with my friends, read, engage in active discussion with learned men, and attempt to woo fair maidens.
As for the next scholastic year (2006/2007), I shall be an undergraduate studying English Literature at either Warwick University or the University of Sussex. I enjoy reading books and poems, but find it abhorrent when people begin to discuss them at length, because the conversation is often boring and interspersed with views that I find repugnant in some regard. You may ask "Why do you want to study English if you think that way?", and that would be a valid question. The answer would be because I am a whimsical person, and often like to indulge my imagination, thus blocking out anything I do not like in the "real world". I find this form of escapism rewarding.
It is always difficult to describe oneself; so, in an effort to aid whomever may be reading this, other people have described me as:
You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

The Wikipedia me
|- | During my attendance here, I have been doing my best to make Wikipedia a better (and better informed) place. I am an administrator, and a staunch advocate for boldness in recognizing the hard work of others and of WikiLove in general.
Finally, when I'm here, I'm fiercely apolitical. I believe that truth and honesty – whether we like it or not – are far more useful than ideology.
If you wish to contact me, feel free to make a note on my talk page. |-

Music
|- | Like everyone else, I enjoy music. I am inclined to music of the indie variety, and the myriad of its subcultures. My Winamp list can be seen to play:

User page vandalism
|- | I, like some others, see a moderate amount of vandalism of my user and talk pages as a good thing: it means that I am establishing a WikiPresence (to coin a term).
As Winston Churchill said, "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."
I've also had the following impostors:
