Vital Statistics

I am 22 years old. I was born in September of 1985 which [apparently] makes me a Virgo.  I am usually 6' tall (seems to vary) and have shaved hair (it's the only hair cut that suits me).  I am currently single.

I'm not good at...

Talking, dancing, singing, shouting, running, writing.

but I am good at...

Listening, learning, laughing, thinking, imagining, designing.

Where I Live

I'm currently to be found in and around Maidstone. My hometown of Orpington is [vaguely] famous for Charles Darwin, that Honda advert, a mention in Only Fools and Horses, Gary Rhodes and the chicken.

My Job

I look after QA at Red Ant. My specialist subjects include HTML, CSS, accessibility, usability, IA, technical writing and Web application testing. I also fiddle with JavaScript, microformats, XML and PHP. If I didn't work in web design I would probably be a Paramedic or an Astronaut.

Friends & Family

I don't have any brothers or sisters but I do have a large extended family, mostly in the UK with branches in Australia and Canada. I have a good set of mates too - lots of them are 'students' and some are stranger than others ;)

God?

I don't have any invisible friends. I'm a freethinking atheist.

Thinking & Learning

I am an information addict; I love to learn and I collect interesting facts as a hobby. I'm not afraid to make mistakes and enjoy being proven wrong.

Football

I support Arsenal and England from my armchair.

Music

Pretty random - depends on my mood. I'll typically hear a track on the radio or an advert on the TV and then play it constantly for a few weeks. I don't think I've got a complete album from any one artist. Some of the top artists from my iPod at the moment are Feeder, Snow Patrol, Nizlopi, Fatboy Slim, Coldplay, The Kooks, Basement Jaxx, Hellogoodbye, Jimmy Eat World, Stereophonics, The Fray, Scouting for Girls and Oasis.

Check out my Last.fm profile to see what else I'm playing.

Movies

I'm a typical male movie fan; scantily-clad women, guns, guts, gore, aliens, monsters and gratuitous humor. 'RomComs' make me nauseous. A few favourites include Rush Hour, Die Hard, The Mummy, Jurassic Park, Home Alone, Dog Soldiers, Dawn of the Dead, Star Trek: First Contact, E.T., Independence Day and Apollo 13.

TV

Some might say I watch far too much telly. I have to watch EastEnders and Neighbours everyday. It's the law. Other favourites include 24, Lost, Heroes, Prison Break, Mythbusters and Top Gear.

Travel

I've not had the chance to travel much yet.  I've never been on an aeroplane but I have been to Belgium on a bus (24 hours of my life I'll never get back).  I really want to visit America and Australia. As soon as Space is affordable, I'll be first in line.
