Guitar. I LOVE playing guitar. Nothing I'd rather do in the world ever. I love the whole thing... starting to write a song, playing around with the ideas in your head... dropping parts and coming up with others... and then when it all comes together as a finished song, and that song is really good... there's nothing better than that.
That's all for now. This list will be updated as often as I feel like updating it.

Books
Anything by Terry Pratchett or Mil Millington. They're both brilliant.
So far, by Pratchett, I have read (in no particular order):
Night Watch
Jingo
Going Postal
The Fifth Elephant
Feet of Clay
Mort
The Truth
Thief of Time
Guards! Guards!
The Last Continent
Reaper Man
Hogfather
Wyrd Sisters
Men At Arms
Witches Abroad
Going Postal
And am currently reading Monstrous Regiment.
And Mil Millington only has three books out thus far, and they are called:
Things My Girlfriend And I Have Argued About
A Certain Chemistry
Love and Other Near Death Experiences
And now for a few other random books I have read:
Junk by Melvin Burgess Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers by Grant Naylor Better Than Life by Grant Naylor
I would recommend anything by any of those authors. Go out! Buy words! Now!
I play guitar in pretty much any style you could want. Just hand me a tab and I can play it. If on the other hand you want me to make up my own addition to a song, that's cool too.
I write a lot of different types of songs, with or without lyrics. I can put lyrics to songs or put songs to lyrics, if you catch my meaning, and when needs be I can make a whole song up from scratch.
Yes it is. Seriously. Like the thing says at the top left, I'm 23 years old, and I increment that number every year on August 16th. I hail from some crappy little town called Uckfield, in the county of East Sussex, which happens to belong to the country known as England.

MUSIC IS LOVE
I love playing guitar, bass, and drums. There's nothing I'd rather do with my time than write and record music. I write my own songs, lyrics n' all.
I'm not in a band right now, which really sucks for me because I long to perform. I play a large number of styles and can do rhythm or lead, solos included, but I guess I'm having bad luck finding the right people. I would go solo, but I don't believe my singing voice is good enough for that. I can sing SOME things but not others.
...lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala...
PROGRAMMING SKIZZLES
As well as being nutty about music, I'm also totally into computers. I've been using computers since I was like, 7, or something, and I learnt my first programming language at age 10 or so, which was QBasic. Then at around 12 I got into web development, learnt HTML by age 14 and had learnt PHP by the time I was 16.
I've coded many sites in my time, mostly for friends but a few on contract work. I'm not big into plugging my own work but a couple I will mention are:
The site I did for the bandMANSMELL, and
The site I did for an e-fed called TAWF.
Sadly both of those have since closed down. But if you ever need anyone to do anything web-related for you, contact me. From registering domains, to hosting, to designing and coding the site itself, I can do it all. But don't expect me to work for free.
I am totally into reading, especially Terry Pratchett or Mil Millington. They are both extremely funny and also extremely British, which is just funky. I have also recently gotten into the works of Christopher Moore, as well as Philip Pullman, especially the His Dark Materials trilogy.
My favourite bands are Something Corporate, Jimmy Eat World and Johnny Panic. They are amazing. I also love (in no particular order), Green Day, Bett The Deadman (Now called Iorek Byrnison), InMe, Disturbed, Atreyu, Otep, Slipknot, System of a Down, Tsunami Bomb, Rage Against The Machine, UnderOath, Dead Poetic and many many others. I have a very wide music taste that even includes some dance, rap and classical, but as you can see I mostly prefer anything with guitars, especially heavier stuff or funkier stuff.
I like to draw on occassion, and even started my own comic, which lasted a whole three strips before I got bored and couldn't be bothered. Maybe one day I'll start it up again.
Another one of my many talents is acting, as well as stand-up comedy, however I haven't done either since college, which is a shame because I really enjoy both. However I don't have the time nor the money to juggle every little talent of mine, so I have to pick and choose.
...lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala...
AND THAT'S A WRAP

Who I'd like to meet:
