Favorite subjects: English, History, Theoretical Physics (Not too fond of the equation side), Astronomy

Year/Grade: N/A

Favorite music: Heavy Metal & A whole ream of other genres

Instrument: Bass guitar

Do you like sports? Yes, love football, don't get much opportunity to play thesedays though sadly

Family: Usual stuff, Parents, Grandparents and a sister a few years older than me, and a load of aunts/uncles and cousins. Still live at home
