About me: Yes, I'm going straight to Hell when I die. No, I don't care. Stop applying to accompany me on the way down, because I've found all the company I need. I'm in the company of heroes and Angels, and there's no way you can beat that.
...she burns, my eyes, she's the one standing by my side....
I'm Rooney. I aspire to make it as a musician, and/or to get myself published! I've been beavering away behind the scenes writing and practising my craft for years now, and I'm just gathering the pieces together to submit to my chosen publisher (Black Library, if anyone's interested). Should, by some miracle, I get published, I expect everyone to rush out and immediately purchase at least a dozen copies. In the mean time, you can get a taster here: http://thetalkingtomyselfplace.blogspot.com/
I do have one saving grace.... my girlfriend! Not only is she one of the greatest people in the history of mankind, but she also elevates me from being the sort of ---- you people all sneer at and despise. So you can all go to Hell, 'cause she's better than you!
I also like to chat bollocks for ages. And talk rubbish as well, according to Goons Mum, at least.
I like to drink. Alcohol, as well as non-alcoholic beverages. Drugs are a choice, a choice I make everytime I take them. I like to drive fast, and play my music loud. I'm not a violent man, unless truly provoked, which doesn't happen too often any more. I'm a bit of a geek, being a HUGE Star Wars fan, deeply into the Lord of the Rings (Peter Jackson tried valiantly, but can anyone really fit the whole saga into three films, without bankrupting themselves?), i'm more than just a li'l obsessive over Firefly and Serenity, and i'm a minor fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion. If you don't know what that is, I ain't going to tell you.
Rooney's not my real name, but so many people know me as Rooney that it may as well be.
...all my best made plans just dismissed out of hand, though you're burning the deck, here I make my last stand...
I read an obscene amount. Mostly novels, but an interesting Treatise or paper is equally as likely to snag my attention.
... they'll chain me to Hell, or poison your soul but it seems to rebel is obscene, just stay home and get lean, live in your mind but don't live out your dreams...
Read enough yet?

Hahaha, sorry oh superior person of vertical brilliance and grand stature, I shall dedicate the rest of my life to learning respect for those taller than me ;)
The video making sounds fun, but the freezing your arse off probably isn't.
My weird little life is still weird, I spent this afternoon modelling for a friend in an abandoned house and some of the results...well....you've seen in my delightful new album =P crotch mix-ups and liquifying my face basically.
Yeah, I think I need to redo it and not do it as extreme. Does the first one look real? I gave myself a better cleavege and bones around my chest/neck. I'm pleased with the first one but not the second one xxx
The first one has had a lot of subtle changes. I'm going to change the background. I'm thinner in that one and in the second one I was aiming for a sickly size 0 look. For the point that it is disgusting. Does it look real enough? xxx
