I'm Mark, I'm 24, and I'm an Arminaholic (gold star if you understand :-p). I grew up in the ass-end of nowhere in the West Mids, and by some stupendous stroke of fate now find myself living in Hampshire's equivalent. Some guys get all the luck, eh? :-/
This site's a bit of a meatmarket. Reminds me of my old uni student union. Except without the godawful music (if I hear Build Me Up Buttercup one more time I may explode
).
Anyway... I tangented. I tend to do that. Like, the other day, chatting on msn with someone who said she was already involved in an in-depth convo. I told her she didn't know what depth really was; We spent the next ten minutes discussing marmite. It was EPIC.
And that's what I'm like, really; a bit sardonic; a bit irreverent. And a bit of a contradiction.
My humour's from Friends and Scrubs (both of which I quote endlessly), but also Bill Bailey and Peter Kay (
'Get a spoooon! Me biscuit's siiiinkin!'). My music taste is from Godskitchen, but also various bands and singer/songwriters, from Less than Jake and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus to John Mayer and Jamie Cullum. So I'll stop occasionally to ponder introspective lyrics and life's learning curve - but I'm happiest when my world's filled with the spontaneous and instinctive.
To that end... I'm a clubber. I'm bookish. I play sport. I can dance. I'll frequently be found geeking it up and writing about it. I have all the time in the world for a well-crafted story; be it book, film, tv show or videogame. But I'm hardly high-brow. I still think Magical Trevor is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Oh, and I can cook, too. I make a mean fajita.
I can be indoorsy (I think I made a word!), and outdoorsy too (two words!!), and at some point I'm going to up sticks and see the world. But for now, I'm working out where my career might take me.
On first impressions, I can seem arrogant, but I'm actually relatively self depreciating. Muppet-like at times and pretty down to earth at others, to the people that know me I'm loyal, honest, and open - yet I'll take the piss wherever possible, and confuse with long words where small ones would do. At heart, I'm a geek; some people don't get me, other's I'll just click with.
And hey, if you've read this far (
thanks - money's in the post!) then you should probably tell me about
you. Only fair, really.
