What is a Squiffs?

DELETE AS APPLICABLE:

I’m a 20/20-something student/ex-student (let’s see how we go with this one, okay guys?) Living in Birmingham/Brighton/Insert Place Name Here. I’ve been told I’m determined, though determined to do what, I don’t know. I have no specific direction in life, my inter-personal relationship skills are sketchy at best, and I’m prone to temper tantrums. But, on the upside, I’m awesome at making food people want to eat, I give really good hugs, and I can laugh at everything. Especially myself. I like to drink tea. Lipton Yellow Label is best. I like to smoke cigarettes. The cheapest brand with the highest volume of tobacco content is preferred. I like to listen to music and read pseudo-intellectual books and articles in the hopes that if my university career doesn’t work out, I’ll at least seem educated.

As people go, I’m not one of the better, more intelligent, less annoying ones. But I’m working on it. Totally. It’ll be good! But, as for ‘About’? I’m afraid I’ll be plagiarising this now from a previously owned ‘About’ page I wrote one time.

Activities:

tripping, rolling, floating, walking, girning, dancing, drinking, bobbing, singing, talking, sitting, lying, skipping, dying, writing, thinking, sleeping, reading, and occasionally I study.

Interests:

substance abuse, time travel, the space/time continuum, flowers, plants, bumblebees, trees, conversation, good coffee, hot tea, baths, showers, bubbles, dvds, video games, conversation starters, music that blows your brains out and scrabble.

Favourite Music:

IDM, Electronica, Dubstep, Drum and Bass, Bassline, Grime, Hip Hop, EBM, Darkwave, Black Metal, Thrash Metal, Orchestral, Classical, Punk, and The Shins.

Favourite TV Programmes:

Things on drugs, crime, anthropology, disability, ill health, cookery, funny things. More 4 documentaries, channel 4 and 5 documentaries, sit coms, black books, green wing, shameless, two pints, come dine with me, desperate housewives and anything with a storyline that I watch more than twice. hollyoaks.

Favourite Films:

Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette, Alain Resnais, Agnès Varda, Jacques Demy… et cetera, basically I LOVE french cinema and the nouvelle vague.

Favourite Quotations:

• • • “Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
      By each let this be heard,
      Some do it with a bitter look,
      Some with a flattering word,
      The coward does it with a kiss,
      The brave man with a sword!Some kill their love when they are young,
      And some when they are old;
      Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
      Some with the hands of Gold:
      The kindest use a knife, because
      The dead so soon grow cold.

      Some love too little, some too long,
      Some sell, and others buy;
      Some do the deed with many tears,
      And some without a sigh:
      For each man kills the thing he loves,

      Yet each man does not die.”

About me:

I’m retarded. but also nice. but also not very easy to get to know. I like people, they’re interesting, but people think I don’t like them. this may or may not be true depending on the person… what?
