CURRENT MISSION

To do anything to break my mundane life! I'm going stir-crazy!

ABOUT ME

Well... I'm not particularly social. I usually prefer to live in my own world. Still, that doesn't mean I don't have any friends.
If you have any queries about any of my favourites, don't hesitate to ask!
I'm not the sporty type: I'm more of a film buff / bookworm. The only activities I like that could be called sports are swimming and going for long walks.
I'm addicted to performing! I practically *live* for the stage! I love acting, singing (though I'm not very good at it yet!), and I can play the piano a little, but the guitar is my instrument of choice.
In my spare time, I write fiction as well.
There's no guarantee whether or not I'll like any music or film; my opinion's just unpredictable. But you can guarantee I'll always be brutally honest!
I don't drink or smoke. In fact, I hate cigarettes with a passion. But I also hate piercings (except for ears) and especially tattoos. I don't know why: I just don't think our bodies should be corrupted like that.

PHILOSOPHY

I was once told that the biggest sin you can possibly commit is to waste your talents, so I guess you can sort of call that my philosophy.
The rule I live by is to do as you please: you shouldn't be unwillingly forced into anything.

Interests

Nature (particularly dinosaurs), cinema, drama, music, literature, technology (particularly computers), carpentry, engineering, astronomy... and brutally honest criticism, Simon Cowell-style!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all three of them!

I honestly have too many favourite movies to list in their entirety. Let's just say "12 Angry Men" is my absolute favourite, though "Sunshine" (Danny Boyle's 2007 sci-fi thriller) scrapes an unbelievably close second.
If you're curious enough, here's the link to my MySpace blog. All will be revealed there. http://www.myspace.com/cowellcritic/blog/530482349

I'm into all genres of music except dance music and gangster rap: they're just too samey for my taste. My favourite band is Keane, and my favourite soloist is Michael Jackson. Also in my top four bands are Guns N' Roses, AC/DC and Linkin Park. And it's not so easy to arrange the rest in order, so I'm just gonna list them in alphabetical order. ABBA, the Beatles, blink-182, Eric Clapton, the Corrs, Ian Dury, the Eagles, Eminem, Evanescence, the Feeling, Green Day, Josh Groban, Jimi Hendrix, Enrique Iglesias, Alicia Keys, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Ricky Martin, McFly, Metallica, Mika, Ben Mills, Queen, the Ramones, REM, Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen, T.Rex, Take That, Shayne Ward, the Who, Neil Young.

My all-time favourite book, by miles, is Margaret Mahy's "A Villain's Night Out". Also in my top five are Eoin Colfer's "Artemis Fowl", Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues under the Sea", Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' "Watchmen", and Michael Morpurgo's "The Dancing Bear". I've read a lot more, but let's not get into it, because we'll be here forever! Let me just answer two more questions. My favourite author is Stephen King. And yes, I'm a Harry Potter fan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I did sing Busted's "Why" in the end-of-year school concert. I happened to be in Transition Year at the time, and given how shy I was, the school's been using me as an example of just how much TY can change someone ever since.
