1. This one's mainly a joke - I play, but I make no pretensions to play well; my fingering patterns often bugger belief, I fudge basslines... I'm generally just lazy. ^^; I do love to play though - hell, I wouldn't've kept it up for so long if I didn't (getting on 20 years now D: ). Who knows - maybe I'll start with a proper practice regime one day too. :)

2. I'm, to put it bluntly, a born troll: getting a rise out of people gives me a happy. :3 (it's all in good fun though - I'm rarely malicious). You wouldn't believe the amount of posts I hold back on LP - if I turned the filter off I'd probably get banned within the week... ^^;

3. Kind of goes along with the previous one - people tend to get more irate when there's an element of fear involved. (see recent playing with LM - I managed to get him to ask if I was someone he knew IRL... a job well done :3 ). I try (with varying degrees of success) to apply this to my writing also - any strong reaction is a good one, be it love, fear or outright revulsion. :)

4. I have a child's love of bright colours - you guys probably noticed that when we met up, what with the love for dayglo. :) This is the main reason I like dying my hair (and plan to keep it up - I went too long without last time :( ) - it's not to be "different" or anything; just that I like greens, oranges and so on much more than plain old reddy-brown.

5. It might be surprising (given that I tend to live on a diet of coffee, cigs and store-bought sammiches), but I'm a pretty good cook - one of my favourite stress-relieving activities is going into the kitchen and whipping up a nice meal. Also, I make a mean miso soup. :D

6. I haven't been playing bass as long as piano (only 5 years or so), but it's pretty enjoyable - one of the main reasons I like ska is because of the fun basslines involved (Superman by Goldfinger is just <3 to play :) ).
