It's work, hard work, and it can and _will_ drive one through ups and downs like on a roller coaster. And It's hard work, very hard, dedicated work.

Only just backtracked through this thread :)

Got to agree with you it is fun, but time consuming and I've really only just begun to look at things like proof reading, which is tough. I consider myself a complete novice at writing and I am pleased I've managed to get as far as I have. Certainly if I'd had no response or encouragement then I'd have given up already... the Traders Tale should cross the 70,000 word mark with the next installment but I'm not considering changing profession yet :D

Theres a dodgy floating image arround here somewhere.

Im 18 years old and im a second year student at 6th form college, IQ is greater than 123, and am into many things.
Computer grahpics are my pride and joy though, and im also a dab hand at fiction, recently joined up with a friend to write a couple of comedy books.
Avid computing, geology and geography student and am deep into coursework.
Enjoy going out with my mates who live no where near me and geting p*ssya**ed.
Am a very dangourous driver who failed my first test and am about to take my second.
Also studying several languages includeing german (for the second time) russian, hoping to move onto welsh and perhaps japaneese.
Did a short course on paranormal psycology which was very interesting.
Learning guitar and also part of a forming band of which i am lead singer. - i may post some lyrics later on.

Am part of a very complecated family, but its best to say that i live on my own as i never see my immediate family that often.
Friends with many people who come from all sorts of backgrounds and i am told i am very supportive and informative. (The ammount of times ive acted as agnoy uncle as a friend blabs over phone about being dumped again! :roll: )

Enjoy listening to radio and i can be found online most of the times.
Im not realy into tv or film but i do have some favourate programs.

My middle names are perdantic, pesimist and pest (or the 3 p's) by some of my friends who mean it as a joke.

There is a lot more to me and like im going to let you all know about it here :P

oh and my real name is "Jonathan Peter Handby" - i knew there was a p for my middle name.
Although the rest of my family know me as "Justi... jospe... jacki... geof... joh... jan... jonathan" :evil: :evil:
:!: :!: :!: :arrow: I prefer to be called Jon.

See that bloke there? That's me! I'm a 20 year old AVCE-ICT student in Herts, UK, a place that even the other dumps in the UK tend to stay away from, it's that dumpy. Yes. Really.

I have a website, it is a nice website, with bright, colourful images of little girls, bunny rabbits and rainbows. It's not grey at all, no, not one trace of the colour, or black for that matter as the voices in my head say those colours are evil and that if you use those colours in web design you will burn in hell for all eternity. I don't want to go to hell, I want to go to heaven because I'm a fairy and my Mummy loves me.

But Mummy DOES love me! When she comes out from under the bed every night she says she loves me! Afterward she dances with the clothes that come alive and float out of the closet, then they all do my hair and we drink spooky tea! :)

Oldman :)

51 years old....and feeling it tonight (no rude comments please). :roll:
Real name....Nick.
Interests.....none at the moment except this lovely pint of cider i'm quaffing.

Future prospects....hazy....but kinda exciting in a full blown panic sort of way.
If you can be bothered to want to see what I look like, go to Grimms site, take a look on the general X-Related gallery and hunt for a picture displaying Argon whisky.
There you will find a 'real' photo of my ugly mush albiet slightly doctored but the eye's, nose, face and much of the beard is from an original photograph....I've just added a 'hat' and a few extra hairs.....oh, and a pipe....of sorts....

hmmm....should have added a left 'eye patch' methinks Grimm :wink:

Not much else to tell.
The new PC I just built for myself:

It'll do until I can upgrade the graphics card.

Even Filipino's know all about Manchester. It's the home of the greatest football club ever to walk the face of the earth right? :D

Did you guys see that goal last night! Pure, awesome, magic! :lol:

Sorry to say this but here goes.

I can think of nothing more boring than the game of football.

Even watching grass grow, or paint dry holds more interest for me.

I used to play, in fact I did a lot of sport when younger, but I've never been a fan of watching.

Maybe It's 'cause I'm an engineer, and like all things mechanical, but stick and engine and some wheels on something, and I could watch that all day.
