Ha ha, missed me.

No one misses you Aaron.
On here, I think people assume I'm far more confident than I actually am.
In real life, I get mistaken for a teenager quite a bit. It's not always flattering.
Quote: Seefacts @ March 12 2009, 8:24 PM GMTBut surely as a musician and creative who lives in Middlesbrough you're actually considered a homosexual?
This is true, especially when it comes to my Dad. I do my best to disguise the bouncer look but unfortunately the good Lord Jebus blessed me with the body of an overweight shaved gorilla and a head to match.
I only tease Bussell because secretly I want to be everything he is. Long-legged, sophisticated, and haughtily-graceful like a royal swan, not this:

How old are you? Or is that confidential? Would you have to kill me after telling me?
People always assume I dye my hair too. The last person to ask was a Danish man in the toilets of a bar in Brighton (not a gay bar). My friends at University all think I'm happy, when in reality it's just because I'm drunk most of the time these days.
And your drunkenness is why you're having to get that job.

I'm 24 (nooooooooooooooooooo!) believe it or not but most people who meet me for the first time think I'm 18 - 19 or even younger. I have been IDed for a 15 film before which was quite annoying cause I had no ID on me. My Dad says it's cause I have a baby face which runs in our family (My half sister gets exactly the same and she is 28). Looking younger also runs in my Mum's family too. The wierd thing is when I was a kid, people thought I was older because I was very tall for my age!
It works for me sometimes like avoiding survey people by telling them I'm only 17 and I have been offered childs fare in the past but it backfires a lot as well when I forget my ID or when I'm working with someone who assumes they have more experience than me because I'm "younger".
That I went to school with them.
The amount of times I've had arguments with people about whether I went to their school or not, honestly. One girl I was temping with once would not give it up, even when I told her that I'd gone to an all boys school. Just one of those, sigh, common faces. I could disappear in a crowd of three.
Strange but true. Obviously, some people I have actually been to school with.

Thats a bit odd.
I have been in the pub and someone comes over to me and starts chatting and after 30 minutes I still don't know who they are. Then the big reveal. I used to go to school with you. "Really?" Yes I sat next to you in Maths and Science. Obviously didn't make an impact again because I still can't remember his name.
I don't keep in contact with anyone from school.

Swan-like? My only swan-like trait is eating with my face, which kind of negates 'sophisticated' and 'graceful'.
