# About me

I am currently a university student in Sheffield at the University of Sheffield and, as is tradition for a student, live just off-campus in a house filled with friends.
I am now around the age of 21, and starting to come to the latter half of my studies. As a result I have come to realise my course may not necessarily be my passion and that sketching, photography and, recently, writing are. Never-mind, a degree is valuable and I will do my best to get one.
Music: There comes a point when someone will inevitable like to know your music tastes, if nothing but to pit them against the sounds they like. I can happily inform you that I like most things, and it would be easier to list the things I don't like. I don't like most rap, the new R&B is not for me - too much technology influencing your voice does not mean you're good at singing (quite the opposite). I don't like dubstep, techno or drum&bass; I just don't see the point. This includes anything that's annoyingly repetitive or stupidly written lyrics (e.g. Friday, Rebecca Black).
Generally speaking: if the instruments are real, and the singing is from a real voice, then there's a good chance I'll like it.
I now have a Windows 7, yay. Not much more to say, apart from the fact that it just outshines my Vista by a few million 'lumins'.

In terms of art, I can appreciate anything, and I'm interested in getting my drawing skills up, as well as my photography which has been a very long standing passion of mine, one which has recently been doing well since getting my Canon EOS 450D. Next steps on that front is getting the funds for lenses and other bits and bobs. Writing is a new thing for me, and I hope to really get that going too. *edit* - I'm now a blogger, come find me on the link below!
I'm pretty open minded, and I am up for trying pretty much anything. I'm a big fan of the outdoors, and quite like exercise. If there's anywhere I'd like to go, I'd like to experience Antarctica (yes, I can ski - I am half Norwegian).

There's more I could say, but I feel this might be a little too much already...

Personal/Favourite Quote: Not everything faced can be changed, but Nothing can be changed until it is faced.

you see how much writing I can do??? the curse on you is, I am a fast typer! and I can read fast, too!

SpazzDragon In reply to TBurrows [2012-01-21 11:45:33 +0000 UTC]

Darn you

Oh well, I usually get 'round to it in the end. Where my reading has now settled at a constant slow speed now, I'd like to think that the more I write, the more I reply and the more I comment - the faster my typing will get!

So, hopefully, I can keep up? Who knows?

I've been so conditioned ever since that typing program they had us use from grade 5-6.
Imagine endless "david bought the red volvo"
and "Annie had a birthday party with Tom,Jared,Michael and Izzie."
FUCK ME!!! :@
You will never, EVER type slowly after that torture, I'll tell you!

Alright, I've been on your blog, and I now subscribe to it! Just you and Michael J. Bassett so far, and you are both from the UK so that's weird..He of course is a wonderful director and I am tracking his Silent Hill 2 progress ..ish..He can't say much about it, legally.

Well - that makes mine special. Aww... now I feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

I do, I prefer to get the content the way it was intended to be given: without any prior knowledge, or very little, anyway.

TBurrows In reply to SpazzDragon [2011-12-09 03:33:51 +0000 UTC]

firstly, I am amazed you feel that way, as the internet and computers are rather cold and impersonal You ARE looking at text on a screen , after all. And I the person am not there! good thing, too, because I'm still wearing my winter coat and a cap and I look very foolish!

spoilers are what keep me from watching movies that have stupid endings, and I don't care if they do if I end up watching! like with Orphan and Shutter Island.. good films, I think.

SpazzDragon In reply to TBurrows [2012-01-21 11:43:42 +0000 UTC]

Well - I don't like the idea of making everything devoid of expression or emotion. It's not a pleasant though, and I'd like to see the best in everything.

So even if it IS just a bit of text on a screen, I still think it should have meaning to it, and I usually project it onto the text as I read it.

O.O That is absolutely humbling, to be put alongside an actual prestigious person! Wow!

Hehe - I don't imagine he can, but it would also spoil the surprise, I imagine.

TBurrows In reply to SpazzDragon [2011-12-08 22:51:46 +0000 UTC]

well, I don't go on blogs much, so it's more laziness than anything. and his "overlords" as I think of them do not want much information out there, but he would say more if he could!
I don't believe in "spoilers"

holy hell, that is one awesome "about me" section! And I do like your ornament picture, but I much prefer the tree, because I absolutely adore the feeling of a cozy Christmas! The light-up snowman I bought at a dollar store, however, flashes like a strobe light and is certain to bring out seizures in epileptics! > A bit funny, except that what in the bloody hell am I supposed to do with a snowman strobe light?

SpazzDragon In reply to TBurrows [2011-12-08 01:10:38 +0000 UTC]

Eheh - thanks! I was going for the amusing to read style, I'm glad I came some way to achieve that
That said, I have just started a blog (link now in the aforementioned "about me" section), so if you enjoyed that, maybe you'll enjoy these? Maybe I'm being too presumptuous...
Haha - wow. The words 'oops' come to mind in regards to your snowman, but I can think of a few things you could do with that How about a long exposure setting on your camera, in a totally dark room, and (if you can get the strobes really slow) re-position yourself in the shot between each burst of light. Might get an interesting photo

maybe one day, when my camera is one worth buying! (I got mine LONG before I realized I couldn't just buy the cheapest one there was )
as for the blog, I will look it over!

Thanks for the fav big brother! Yeah me and Jacob went out onto the beach on a windy but sunny day during low tide. The wind was blowing out to sea so it blew dry sand onto wet sand, giving the effects in the picture
