Hello people, I'm James. Welcome to my myspace.
It's rather long.
If you like, you can skip the paragraphs and go straight to the "Add me if" section.
Or not bother to read it at all. Whatever.
I'm 17, which means I can legally drive (I tend to panic at roundabouts, so won't be passing my test any time soon), drink alcohol (but not buy it), have sex (but not watch it..) and smoke. Woop dee do.
I live in a tiny village near Cowbridge, which is near Cardiff, which is in Sheepland (Wales), UK. It's very boring and no one's ever heard of it.
So I pretend to live in Cowbridge instead, which is much cooler...>
They have these mystical things called buses, which apparently mean you don't have to blag lifts off your parents all the damn time.
I have strong opinions about some things, which I won't bore you by going into here..
I am a firm believer in freedom of speech, freedom of choice, and the freedom to do whatever you want in the privacy of your own home.
I despise extremism and unwillingness to accept other people's ideas.
I enjoy discussing these things, so feel free to start up a debate, as long as you respect my opinions.
I'm a leftie. I may be the spawn of the devil and have a shorter life-span , but it makes me feel special and it is fun to confuse people by doing everything backwards. =D
I am very quiet. I wish I wasn't.
I hate it when people say that I'm quiet, then when I actually talk they act like I appeared out of nowhere.
Hypocrites...
I'm funny about a quarter of the time.
My specialities are sarcasm and quick wit.
And they're the "best" kinds of humor anyway.
I'm slightly short-sighted
But I only notice how short-sighted I am when I bother to put my glasses on...
I like taking care of people.
If you're going to get stupidly drunk or break your leg, make sure I'm around first xD
I give good advice about love, life, family, school etc. Just ask :) But I don't necessarily take my own advice.
I am too damn nice for my own good.
I go out of my way to hold open doors for people.
I will happily lend money to people I hardly know.
(Although I've now learnt not to give money to the people in Cardiff who pretend they need to get home to make a quick quid or two.
I just scare them by asking too many questions.)
I am unable to resist the charms of petition-wielding campaigners, buskers and tramps. Use this information to your advantage.
I am almost always completely calm. Some people say it's a talent, others say I am inhuman. You decide.
I'm smarter and much more aware than I look. Never try to mess me about, I will figure it out.
I try to be individual. I will never look like a clone of others, mainly because I have no dress sense, and my hair style was going out of fashion at the time I decided to grow it like that. However, I will do my best to fit in with the right crowd. I do care what some people think of me.
I am obsessed with many things:
Myspace
The Internet in General
Forever perfecting my layout
Chocolate
Orange Juice
Biscuits
Harry Potter
F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
Spelling & Grammar
And I don't care!
I'm single. I'd rather not be...
My Birthday is on October 13th. Buy me chocolatestuff
Like most of the people on MySpace, I love music. I prefer to listen to Rock, Indie or Punk, but I can tolerate most forms of music when they're played as background noise.
But if you blast Gangsta Rap/Hip Hop/Crazy Frog in my ears, I cannot be responsible for my actions. No really.
I also love playing Music. I am Grade 5 Piano. And I have an "individual" style of singing. I don't add a lot of people. Mainly just the people I have met or would like to meet. But I accept all add requests. All I ask is that you talk to me once in a while, and I will do the same.
Do add me if one or more of the following applies to you:
You are in a band.
You are a band.
Something in my profile made you smile, laugh, cry or fall out of your chair in shock.
You have met me/go to my school.
You are an actual real life pirate.
You know the secrets of time travel/teleportation/invisibility/magic.
You have something to say to me.
You can teach me something new.
You live in a far away land that I've never heard of.
You (also) have an obsession with Friends (The TV Show).
You have nothing better to do.
Do not add me if:
You don't like me. I probably don't like you either, hence you are not my friend.
You are a "Myspace Whore".
You are going to stretch up my comments with huge banners so it takes ages to read everyone else's.
Your profile is blank, unreadable or messed up. I will presume you are a spammer and ignore you.
You haven't yet mastered the art of typing.
Saying that, if you actually took the time to read all of this (and you don't think I'm a twat with too many things to say), thank you. You may want to click Here now.
Interests
Anything involving water.
Swimming, Surf Lifesaving (I am a member of Rest Bay Lifeguard Club), Bodyboarding, Kayaking, Water Skiing. And I would like to learn to surf properly this summer (but I say that every year...).
Skiing.
Love it. Behold my marvelous Snow Blades:

When I can be bothered. There's some of my stuff posted in blogs here.

Another of my secret passions. I like taking photos; of myself, other people, animals. But I most definitely prefer landscape photography. Check out my blogs, if you want.

I like films that make me think.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. - I have a self-confessed addiction to this show, to the point that I pretty much know what I'll be doing between 5 and 6 most days... oh dear. It is a rather good show though, so perhaps I'm not completely mad.
I have no clue who you are, you randomly appeared on my top friends one day, it threw off my entire centre of gravity, but whatever. It was amusing, and now I simply wanted to say that you seem really cool and thatt I dig your page, it made me laugh.
There's gonna be some changes to my profile soon, all of them good, I've already added some new songs to my player...
And don't forget the American Heart Association awareness show on-line on the 11th of Oct at 11pm EST on Stickam. com, and the Roads End Radio Interview before the show between 8 and 10pm on roadsendradio. com...
JAMES! This is me commenting back! Treasure it; it's a rarity of late!
I hope your exams have gone well so far. Have you got many left? Not long 'til complete freedom for you!
Going back a while...but yeah, I quite liked Amstell. He was really politically incorrect, I thought, but that sort of thing makes me giggle. The support was pretty funny too. I checked out that chortle site [yes, I'm a loser.] Have you commented on it after the Cardiff show? There's someone caled James Thomas who left a comment, but I thought I'd check as your name could have more than one owner.
Hope you are well and I hope that this comment was worth the suspense [though I doubt it is, now that I reread it :/]! xxx:]
Hey Jamesyyy. I realised earlier that, due to my elusive manner, I haven't spoken to you properly in ages. My waves and smiles are a bit poor compared to a proper chit-chat.
How're you? I hope life is going alright. I think I saw you [or a person who looked a lot like you when I glimpsed back towards the hall as I left] at Simon Amstell the other night in Skadiff. Did you go to see him?
Oh, it's ok. I never check my facebook haha. That's good though. I've been alright. Unfortunately i'm still slightly sick (three weeks now)...but i'm getting better. =]
Ohh, Arcade Fire was fanfanfantastic. I was super-squished by the end of it. They were very good indeed. Yes, of course, the crazy lunatic with the tambourine/bin lid/other weird item was running and jumping like he was on naughty people sweets. A very good night :D
Firstly Arcade Fire were brilliant! The support act were really strange, but quite good, though I only saw part of their set. I'll tell you about it when I next speak to you.
Anyway, in reply to your text I'm riding today as I didn't on Monday, and nor did I ride yesterday either, so I'll be with the horses most of the day. Are you doing anything fun? I'll probably be online in the evening to I'll speak to you then :).
