I'm not usually as red as this

When I was younger my father and I were talking about careers. He said to me “you’re going to be doing whatever you choose to do everyday, so it’s best to find something you enjoy”. I absolutely love my job. I’m a Web Designer, and I really can’t get enough of it. When I’m not building websites, I’m usually browsing them, trying to resist the urge to look under the bonnet. As much as I’d like to go on and on about it, I wont here as I have another site dedicated to my work.

This site is simply my outlet for anything not work related. It’s for me first, you second. I like to be able to browse my own memories. I tried keeping a diary once, but I didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t hit CTRL+F to find something. No, for me it’s gotta be electronic. I’ve got the usual social networking accounts, but I like to have this place which is uniquely mine.

So what else is there about me? Well, I’m a total hoarder - I love to buy CDs even though I’m running out of storage room. But for some reason I just like having them. Music is personal to me. I like to own something tangible and I think the artwork helps to create more of an attachment to the sounds it contains. I love talking about, sharing and finding new music.

What also interests me is human behaviour. How we change through our lives and the silly things we do. Most days I find myself trying to discover why I make the choices I do.

When my buddies are available, I switch on the Xbox and shoot-up some baddies on Halo 3. If you think you might be up to it, then why not meet me online but beware, I’m pretty tastey.
