CURRENT MISSION

To hang out with YOU. I am also writing a story about sailors. I like performing in faux bands or any other opportunity that presents itself. Currently in transit.

ABOUT ME

Faggy genderqueer. Quite socially awkward and shy at first (I'm English), but I warm up. In an S/M relationship with London. Queer, feminist, no idea how to box myself politically, but it's very left of centre! anarchisty but slightly hypocritical!...Lover of d.i.y (the egalitarian anti-capitalist concept, not the putting up shelves thing, I'm a bit rubbish at that I'm afraid), music, gigs, cider, performing (sometimes shouting in a queer electro punk cabaret keyboard demo based band in hot pants, sometimes spoken word, attempting to learn the ukelele, tragically lacking in sense of rhythm), writing, dancing awkwardly, dingy bars, friendly squats, films, trashy TV, talking, being quiet, books, sleeping, tea. Somewhat mixed up and confused, but in a nice way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just joined this project and about to leave the house I currently rent to go on travels. Fully intend to offer up my couch when I have one again.

Interests
