Well obviously battling the forces of darkness as a free range independantly funded super hero using a mix of osmosis absorbed kung fu skills and a utility belt... but apart from that drawing, writing, an obsessive consumption of films and music, walking in the countryside and rather sadly some of my time is devoted to reading comics and the Play Station.

About me:
There is a man. This man stands apart from the crowd, his back straight, shoulders square, the stance of a man who is coiled ready for anything and yet fears nothing. He is dressed in the finest of clothing, every hair is in place. His features are chiselled in beautifully above his granite jaw. His eyes dance with an electricity that plays on the surface, but if you look closer there is a sadness swimming deep and well hidden with in them. They suggest he has seen much destruction but is here still today to fight again.
The man's arms are like huge english oaks, supporting giant fists like mature hams. He is loved by women, men, children and animals alike. He is wealthy but charitable, he is well read and has a kind gentle humour. This man is not me. No, I'm the thin, scruffy, slightly geeky, neurotic making belittling comments behind his back. I'm an artist and writer and I'm also doing my nurse training, so probably more truthfully I'm a student nurse who is also an artist and writer.
Which Twin Peaks character are you?
You're Special Agent Dale Cooper. You're often too brilliant for people to really follow, but your infectious enthusiasm makes up for the fact that you're frequently incomprehensible. You are smart, intuitive, clear-headed, compassionate, and cute as hell -- about your only flaw is your insane coffee consumption. Take this quiz!
"Is something burning in here? Oh, it's just me."
You're a total nutball who will do anything for attention.
The first to take a dare, you'll pull almost any stunt.
You're one weird looking creature, but your chickens don't mind!
Who I'd like to meet: Regina Spektor, Gillian Anderson, a dog that can say 'sausages', a leader of any (I'm not fussy) alien race, a squid that can roller skate, a baboon in a trilby, Lucy Liu, donkey kong, the guiness book of records holder for most pegs clipped onto one face (man that's got to be a big face), Kilroy Silk (just so I could punch him in the back of the head)
