About me: I like to read things. I waste money a lot despite not wanting to and not actually having all that much to waste. I'm doing english at university now and it's terrifying.
I like a lot of things and I dislike a lot of other things. There's not much overlap. It's nice to meet you.
I write poetry sometimes and read it out loud sometimes. I would probably like to do more of this. In my myspace blog I have a couple of poems but they are mostly very old and slightly embarrassing. I have a few recent ones here.
Who I'd like to meet: boy/girl revolutionaries. people that like poetry.
..Our latest single is out soon! It's a split single with a new SPC band, Standard Fare, and features two of our new songs "Angel of Death" and "Tricks":
