Video games: Keeping it Old Skool with the NES! Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat (cos Scorpion is THE MAN!), SNK (god bless them) and long gaming sessions. Obscene Nintendo DS pictochat sessions are always welcome!
All time fave game series is Silent Hill. The relentless nerve shredding fear I have when playing those games is unmatched by any other medium for me this side of a snuff video!
Comics: I keep up to date with anything by Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis, 2 of the finest writers of any medium I've ever encountered. All time best ever heroes are Spider-man and Batman! No Questions! I also love good ol' JTHM and Squee by my dark lord Johnen Vasquez, Serenity Rose is something I'm digging right now too! The mad Scotsman known as Mark Miller also keeps me smiling and after that is the mountain of manga I love like Ranma 1/2, Shaman King, One Piece and Battle Angel Alita!
If anyone thinks that comics are just a cheap form of reading then look at the shelves in your local bookshop and see them groaning under the weight of chick-lit novels, male power fantasy wank-stravaganzas and monotonous travelogues!
Movies: oh just the read the box over there!
Books: I read next to fuck all, I'm very thinly read. My book for this year though is Screen Burn by Charlie Brooker. Very funny!
Aside from those I do all the usual stuff a 20-something does like drink with friends, go to gigs, go to clubs, worship my dark lord satan with the blood of the innocent, eat Chinese food.....
Music
My tastes change all the time and cover a wide spectrum of genres. Basically I'll enjoy anything that sounds like it has some BALLS to it! Industrial, Techno, Metal, Indie, House, Classic Rock, Punk, Hardcore. These have all tickled my ears at some point in time and more besides.
It's easier to list what I don't listen to so I'll do that instead:
Any shite RnB.
Club Dance.
Gangsta Hip Hop (ACTUAL Hip Hop fricking rules though!)
Bands that are personality free zones.
Drug ridden losers who are deemed "cool" for no actual reason other than they inject heroin into their last fresh vein. ..boomp3.com
Movies
All time faves: Alien, Blade Runner, Only You (an anime film not the turgid Sanda Bullock one!) , Akira
Random faves: 16 Candles, Breakfast Club, (yup, I loves me some 80's teen cheese!), Shaun of the Dead, Time Bandits, All the Monty Python films, Aliens and Alien 3 (in my world Alien Resurrection and AVP don't exist!), The Terminator, The Incredibles, Spider-man 2, X-men 2, Ghost World, Lost in Translation, Ghostbusters, JACOBS LADDER!, Kamikaze Girls, Tokyo Zombie, Wild Zero. Battle Royale, Tetsuo 2 and a load of other Japanese films that are so obscure you don't even know about them! Nyer nyer!
Television
Spaced, Black Books, Father Ted, Look Around You, Harry Hill's TV Burp, TV Offal, Newman and Baddiel In Pieces, Mr. Show, League of Gentlemen, Young Ones, Bottom, Porridge, The Dangerous Brothers,Have I Got News For You, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Vidz, DOCTOR WHO (Old AND new skool bitches!), Life on Mars, Kids in the Hall, The Panel, Invader Zim, X-Men: Evolution, Batman: The Animated Series, Venture Bros.
I think Jeremy Kyle is Satan made flesh and I keep watch over him waiting for the day when he finally shows his black wings. Either that or eats a baby.
Books
COMICS thank you... JTHM, Squee! The Boys, The Punisher (only the Garth Ennis ones though!), Ultimate Spider-Man, The Ultimates, Eyeshield 21, Ranma 1/2, Urusei Yatsura, Scott Pilgrim, The Ultimates, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

Heroes
Bill Hicks. A man who was passionate about everything he believed in.
Shigeru Miyamoto, for having just the most insane imagination and for piling heaps of creativity into his work that goes unmatched by any games developer!
Akira Yamaoka, for scaring the shit out of me late at night during many a Silent Hill session!
Trent Reznor, for having a fine voice and an almost obsessional amount of depth to his music!
Hello there! Thinking of adding me to your friends list to bump up your numbers? Click that "Send Message" button first! And as for you bands wanting to be the next Arctic Monkeys, don't call me I'll call you.
Ex-beard owner, comic reader, book convert, mexican cook, anti-social, comedy night attendee, music snob, sci-fi nerd, JD lover, gamer. These are just a few things I have been called that aren't swear words. Oh and "giant manchild" as well.
Like being tickled with Angel feathers:
o - Comics. They're the fucking BEST! Yes, I have seen girls naked in real life. Probably more than you.
o - Video games.
o - A stomping concert.
o - Lazily getting drunk at a friends house in front of a DVD.
o - BBQ Chicken.
o - Animation from all over the world. Particuarly 80's Anime.
o - DOCTOR WHO. No I'm not ashamed!
o - Getting the last tube home.
o - Waking up in time for Jeremy Kyle.
o - Going to live comedy nights.
o - Use of the word "cunt" in an amusing manner.
o - Charlie Brooker's Screenburn/wipe.
o - REALLY LONG E-mails! (hint)
o - DVD watching marathons
o - Laughing at wannabe pretty boys who don't suit the eyeliner they wear in Camden Town!
o - Andrew Maxwells Fullmooners. Constantly an ace night!
o - Seeing TV recordings. They're FREE!
Like having a cheese grater taken to my fingernails:
o - Your Myspace profile. Sort it out.
o - No I don't want to see your friends hot pics or watch your webcam.
o - The term "FTW"
o - People who think "lol" counts as conversation.
o - London Underground. A prison for people who have done no wrong.
o - Exciteable Anime Fanboys/girls who seem to think quoting 4chan and Invader Zim is a replacement for a personality.
o - DDR Machines. Robot masters to willing slaves.
o - Pictures taken from extreme angles in order to hide chubbiness.
o - Just because you're vegan doesn't mean you're always right.
o - Men who have pictures of themselves with their shirts off. You're a repressed homosexual who dreams of bums.
o - Football/Soccer and the players in general. Overgrown children being paid obscene wages to kick a ball into a net.
o - Lost. Pure nonsensical shite. Totally overrated.
o - 17 year old emo chicks who think that calling themselves "CUNT*STAR" or some derivative thereof is in any way shocking and/or clever.
o - PEOPLE WHO SEND ME FRIEND INVITES WITHOUT SENDING A MESSAGE!
o - YOUR BAND!
Who I'd like to meet: I've managed to find myself in Finsbury Park with 3 rather awesome flatmates and we live in a quiet commune of gentle reflection, wine drinking and much dvd watching. Would love to meet people so I can have an excuse to go to the Big Red on Holloway. Anyone else who can brighten up my existence shall be welcomed with open arms!
I'm FB'd up as well for you hipsters who left Myspace quicker than an out-of-the-closet politician's wife. Please don't send me vampire/pirate invites though.
If you look like this then please get in touch for possible marriage vacancy!
J to the A to the K to the E's Friend Space (Top 19)
nah, it doesn't work like that, he has some software that just smashes in. i changed the password several times and every time he just fucked it up for me again. dickhead. but he could never crack facebook! thus it wins. hurrah!
kinda...this will never replace facebook for me...but it has it's uses! i.e. reaching a few people who in the last year haven't switched. i'm hoping my fucking stalker won't try hacking the account again!
Wishing you awe the best for 2009 bonnie laddie. Hope you find the new year brings you joy, good health, wealth and a few less fat b'stards eating awe the pies.
happy new year my dear! new year same old shit... :P if you have a spare minute or two in 2009, pls dedicate it to our new single (a clip is now up on our myspace, plus the entire b-side) see what you think! www. myspace. com/thefirmband xxx
Finally I understood what you meant about "the news". Yes, I'm a little slow. And yes, I was fucking delighted. Despite being holed up in a hotel room in Atlantic City with the love of my life, lots of cake and a jacuzzi, we did manage to follow the election process and were both fucking delighted with the result. Oh. And I love Mr Sharkey. He's stunning. I would love to hang out with him some time... :)
Yessssssssss....first time I've had the chance to get online since I arrived! I love it here. Everything is amazing (apart from getting a hard time at customs because I "looked nervous!"...apparently a deep fear of flying and being about to meet the love of my life in person for the first time don't count as good enough reasons to be nervous.) Am so blissfully, nauseastingly happy though :) Like a massive- gooey-hot-cake-with-loads-of-thick-icing-on-a-hot-sunny-day-while-lounging-with-tea-on-the-sofa kind of happy. You may be visibly sick now. Everyone here is. Hahahahaha :) And how are you, Jakey? :)
No worries.just cant bear the thought of having wasted that money. Not sure what time I'm in town yet but if youre up for a drink and a natter,I'll try and put my Showtime face on xxx
The former Camden Palace(I dislike calling it Koko)I'm meeting Gloria in town for an hour or so at 5pm.Doors open at 8 I think. Tickets yours if you want it?I promise to leave my negativity in my negativity drawer before I leave the house xxx
But you were invited then?I'm so annoyed. My libran sense of fair play has been affronted by it all. Do you want a Neon Neon ticket for wed?It was a birthday pressie for an old old friend who now cant use it. xxx
Yikes, how slack am I? I've only just got round to replying... :(
Glad you had a good b'day! And what's all this about university? :) Good for you darl, go for it!
I'm feeling rather like a small hyperactive child, dead set on the idea of breaking an expensive sofa by jumping all over it...just waiting, oh waiting to get on that plane...less than a week to go, should I maybe warn the airline that I may explode with excitment like a tomato at 39,000 feet? Hmmmm... *ponders*
Howdy doodie?How was the night?hope it was fab.I'm staring down the barrel at 30 now too but no such frolicing for me. Unless sitting around in my pants drinking and watching youporn security cam fucks counts as celebrating:-) Gutted Brian is going to a premiere and no one else I know of yet has been invited xxx
