Mellowed but still alternative non-conformist rock/goth/industrial fan, bit of a grown up geek, left of centre, creative, bookish, into outdoors and travel. Amused, balancing light heartedness with a pragmatic streak, can tend toward the over-chatty (on topics that engage me and especially after having had a couple of drinks) but otherwise quite laid back and reflective.
Work in a slightly unusual role in a university, enjoy and do well at my job. I have a 6 year old daughter from a long term relationship that amicably ended (as far as these things can do), currently settling into co-parenting arrangements.
Stuff I like:
Being arty (drawing, painting, making music)
Reading science fiction, vertigo comics, fantasy and randomish non fiction such as history, alternative culture, religions, myth, biographies of interesting people, popular science.
Travelling, seeing the UK and the world.
Walking, particularly in hills and woodland.
Dancing as energetically as my advancing years will allow.
Gigs, festivals, comedy.
Films (mixture of sci fi, world cinema, comedy and trashy action flicks) and cult tv.
Hanging out with friends, camping or generally having a great time around a camp fire.
Gaming.
In relation to my user name I've an odd set of personal "beliefs", part humanist, part animist with a dollop of discordian.
