My name is Nathan, Nathe, Nate, Port Louie, Port, Porty, Lord etc. Pick one, or several :P
I have great friends, and I can play music. My life is officially (almost) complete. Although I'd like to enjoy it for as long as possible. To that end I seem to have developed an extreme case of thanatophobia. It's certainly not that hilarious, I assure you.
I like to put ellipsises at the end of sentences to make them seem more mysterious...
I love music. In pretty much every form. I live for it. But let's be totally honest, punk, horror punk/deathrock, goth and industrial/darkwave is where it's at for me. I do listen to all sorts though.
I can play the drums to a grade 8 (apparently... :P) standard, and guitar, bass, and even keyboards at a push. I know my way around all four, but in terms of practicality, drums pip it to the post way ahead. I've been playing drums since Autumn 2000 (and most definitely consider it my main instrument), and bass since Summer 2003. Guitar and keys I've picked up slowly along the way. I also like to think I can sing a bit, and have endeavoured to do so since I can remember.
Who'd have thought that A-E-Bm-D could be the most beautiful chord sequence ever known to man?
I play drums and vocals in a hardcore punk/goth/horror/deathrock-type band called Curse. We have a few tracks up, as I promised. AND the page is pretty :P
I owe my musical ability to Parappa the Rapper and Martin J. Summers.
I'm also straight edge, which means that I don't drink alcohol, smoke, or take any drugs. I have a right to be proud, but I certainly don't look down on people who do these things. The vast majority of my friends like a drink now and then. No big deal, I just don't join them.
i'm really looking forward to seeing you this weekend; this photo shoot is gonna rock :D i hope we get some time alone... if we do, good things will happen. trust me ;)
I just emailed the promoter (i think) about that. Yeah it's my wireless cable; if you could post it to be that'd be absolutely amazing. Let me know and i'll send you my address..
i love you by the way :) :P just incase you hadn't noticed.
you ok back at your 'rents? get in touch with la chris? i'll comment him and abi as well, just to make sure they get the message :P it's ok if it just ends up being me and you - it'll be fun either way :)
Just dropping by to tell you that I love you :) I've been thinking about you all day today hehee. You put a biiiiiig smile on my face :) I know you probably won't get this because your internet is shit... but whatever!
yeah well im not convinced the others would want me doing it anyway. I'm just the tag along girlfriend remember? Even though I've known you longer than Batty and Brad. I'm just the manipulative bitch remember? I'm only going to do it if they want me to, otherwise what's the point? THey all hate me anyway.
Quite frankly I'm sick of being second best. I love you too. I'm just evidently the gooseberry.
well played the other night mate, shame you didnt get through, im gona have to come watch you guys again before you all disapear to uni! take care mate
hahhaaaaa Day of the Dead made me cry - the bit where Bub breaks free and sees Logan and's all check-me-out-i-broke-my-chain! Then he realises Logan's dead and gets all upset!
I was just like, awwwwwww!!! Poor Bub! I wanted to give him a massive hug!!!
