About you: I'm old and cantankerous; I use a typewriter; I have blue hair; I like cats. I make mix cassettes and will probably foist one on you at some point. Usually found sitting at my typewriter, making mixes, playing my Game Boy Color, dying my hair funny colours, reading, befriending strange cats, walking in the rain listening to Radio 4, crossing the street to avoid awkward conversations with people I don't like, and hanging round second-hand bookshops sniffing the merchandise.
