Ok lets start with
fact number 1, I'm gay.
I've been out since March 2000 and all my
family and friends know. The reaction was mixed but at least you get to
find out who your friends are. If you want to know more about my history then see
the 'My Life' section.
Fact number 2, I'm recently single so not
looking for a boyfriend right now, but some fun wouldn't go amiss.
Fact number 3, umm,
hmmmm, well. OK cant think of anymore important facts right now but they
may come in time.
A little more information
for you, if you're interested.
Work - Spent
far too long trying to sell insurance to people who didn't really want
it before being asked to help test a new computer system that the company
I worked for was introducing, 'It'll only be for 6 months' they said.
2 and half years later I was still testing the damn thing and thought
sod it, I can earn far more doing this somewhere else. So I left and joined
a software and systems management firm, was seconded to BT for a year,
but again felt I could do better so found another job with an American
software house which develops software for the Mobile Telecomms Industry,
I got made redundant end of March 2003 and presently looking for
employment as well as enjoying a well deserved rest.
Interests,
in no particular order:-
Sci Fi and Fantasy,
particularly though not limited to Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon5, Lord
of the Rings and the Discworld books. I like to read as my collection of books will
show. (Oh my god, I hear you cry, computer geek into sci-fi, avoid, avoid.
Please don't avoid, I am relatively normal.)
Sport, like
to watch football, especially when my team are on (no I'm not going to
tell you which one, cos you'll take the piss), also like to watch Rugby
Union. Do you think it has something to do with all those men running
around in shorts playing with balls?
Keeping fit,
I try to keep fit and I often go cycling, nothing like pulling on those
tight lycra cycling shorts and hitting the cycle path that runs between
Bristol and Bath
Music, varied
tastes, but my favourites being rock and cheesy/camp pop. Anything from
Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi and Queen to Abba and Kylie (and I suppose Steps).
Growing up in the 80's also means I love 80's music. I have been known
to listen to some classical music sometimes though I draw the line at
opera.
Going out,
what do I like to when I go out? Well, I enjoy going out on the scene
in Bristol, though I tend to stick to either the Pineapple, the Queenshilling
or Vibes.
I have been to most of the other gay venues in Bristol, but they don't
appeal. I have also been to many of the venues in Cardiff, yet to decide
on any preferences there. I also enjoy going the cinema and live shows.
Staying in, yes I love quiet nights
in cuddled up on the sofa with someone I love, watching dvd's and relaxing
in their arms, candles shedding a soft glow over the room. OK so I can be
a bit soppy sometimes.
Travel, there
are a few places I would really like to go sometime in my life, these
are:-
California, because
I want to be in movies, just kidding, but it is a place I'd love to
visit especially San Francisco.
Canada, yeah ok it's
a large country but any part of it will do for a start.
Hawaii, oh come on,
who wouldn't want to go there.
New Zealand, a lovely
looking country and the fact I want to go has nothing to do with sheep.
It has been an intended destination even before I saw the Lord of the
Rings films, they just want to make me go even more.
