learned/genetic/imagined:
when i was a kid i used to think that i could fly but i'd forgotten how. 
favourite fabric:
polyester
describe your bedroom:
unsurprisingly it's a bit of a mess: newspapers lying around and piled up all over the place; a shrinking book collection (it's seems easier to lend 'em than read 'em at the moment); a temperemental computer; a pile of clothes with a mind of its own;

don't get me started or you'll be here for hours. Corporations? where did they come from and where do they get off?

flying

all the usuals: Until the end of the world, Saturday Night Fever, Pulp Fiction, Pretty in Pink

eratically varying between about 2 and 10 - but usually closer to 2 i'm afraid

I ran through a glass door when i was about 2. I still have the scar on my forehead. It prompted years of "is that where they cut off your dick" jokes in primary school.

not much. I tend to forget to eat. 
hero and why?:
none. i'm not much for idolising people
