Stolen from Layla ('cos its the cool thing to do)
NAME
Mark Leslie Grainger
AGE
21 (for a little bit longer at least)
LOCATION
Either in my room or generally mooching around South Shields
OCCUPATION
Bum. Oh and cynical music hack. Currently writing for two magazines and three websites whenever i have the motivation/they have a cd or gig i want to go to for free.
PARTNER
Nope.
KIDS
Well obviously not yet, unless im like that guy from memento and simply forgot. Someday though maybe. Its not something I have particularly strong feelings for or against at the moment. The idea of the distant future makes me freak out.
BROTHERS/SISTERS
One brother, and I'm always grateful for how well we get on, even if he is a big drama queen. Sibling disconnections run in my family (both my mam and dad dont speak to their older sister and brother respectively) so I'm glad we're the exception.
PETS
Never had one. I'd only want a dog and they used to aggrevate my asthma and now my parents dont want to be tied down to an animal. One day I will have a dog though, and he'll be called something cool like Barney. Or Megatron...
LIST THE 3-5 BIGGEST THINGS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE.
1. Writing and the search for employment/recognition/a life of typing in my pants eating cheesy watsits
2. Continuing to try and work out the person i want to be and how close i am to achieving it.
3. Theres been a lot of other things, very few of them good and to be honest i cant wait for this year to end.
PARENTS
Get on very well the vast majority of the time. My Mam seems to be doing okay and is coming to terms with returning to work early next year, although lack of sleep is making her snappy and my Dad has just got a new job with Victim Support, retiring from the Police after more than 25 years.
WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS?
All the ones I dont see as much lol but im thankful they're there all the same especially when i need them. People like Steph, Kat, Chels and Laura have provided immense support this year when i've needed it more than ever, and I'd have probably spontaneously exploded if not for them. And I can always rely on people like David, Nick and Dan for a giggle
