Another instance, another #introduction! I like #dogs I chat about #weird things like #taxidermy
I like loads of music from #heavymetal to #indiefolk with #synthpop in the mix too. I like #poetry, #art, #nature and nice people. I collect porcelain and glass animals. I read and love Sir Terry Pratchett #pratchett #discworld
I like #graphicnovels and #comics, especially #deadpool, #deathstroke and #judgedredd #2000ad and #vampires
I get angry about stuff
