Right then! This is it! Pay attention now because I might be asking questions later!

I’m a successful, self employed, businessman and entrepreneur.
I live just few miles outside of London, with CJ - my cat - who's completely gorgeous and possibly the smartest cat never to have appeared in a cartoon.
From my window you can see France and the Eiffel Tower.
Or is Canvey Island Oil Refinery?
I’m never quite sure.

I’m tall (6’4”). Slim (just over 12st). And, when the weather’s not too bad, I go running to keep myself trim and bursting with energy.
I’ve short hair and I’ve blue, smiley eyes, which twinkle occasionally.

I’m a fun, creative person with a great sense of humour - really, I am! - I'm just, well, you know - a bit knackered right now and running low on wit. Please check back later. Thank you so much.

I enjoy cookery, comedy and culture, but my real passions are photography (taking pictures), writing (fiction, mainly) and theatre (watching it, being in it, directing it.. the whole nine yards).

In recent years I’ve become a spiritual, polyamourous, live-life-in-the-moment, life-is-too-short, kinda guy. I know it sounds cheesy but I’ve never been happier, than I am now. Really.

Why isn't there a section on this thing entitled "What I'm Looking for Right Now". Hmmm. Ok.. I'm going to create one.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR RIGHT NOW

I'm looking for new friends. Just generally. One can never have too many friends. However it would be nice to meet someone a special.
Someone who'd like to be my part-time girlfriend.
Someone I can see every other weekend, or the occasional evening.
Someone who, for a few hours, would like to do the couple thing; the best parts anyway :-)
I imagine this would be facilitated by the following simple process: You turn up, go upstairs, throw all your clothes on the floor (like you live here), and plod around for the rest of the weekend/evening in just your knickers, socks, and one of my work-shirts.
We could share a meal, watch a movie together, eat ice-cream, have a bath together and snuggle up in bed.
Maybe I’ll read to you. Maybe we’ll just snuggle.

So, how does that sound? Shall I cook tomorrow night, or shall we order chinese? ;-)

By the way "part-time" doesn't some how mean "temporary."
Temporary is BAD. Nobody wants temporary, least of all me.
LTR is definitely the way to go, just, you know, part-time :-)

WHAT I'M DOING WITH MY LIFE
- I’m currently finishing up my first novel.
- I'm writing a self-help book (see journal posts)
- I'm looking for an agent
- I'm taking pictures and selling them to magazines

I'M REALLY GOOD AT
Making lists
Making tea
Making friends

THE FIRST THING PEOPLE USUALLY NOTICE ABOUT ME
'Wow, you're really really tall!'

THE SIX THINGS I COULD NEVER DO WITHOUT
• Tea
• CJ (my cat)
• fun
• flirting
• Intimacy
• Food

I SPEND A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT
love, sex, and romance
Is intimacy more important than sex?
Is nudity more important than passion?
I think so.
Discuss.

The environment.
I'm a bit of a greeny.
Actually, I'm a LOT of a greeny.

My sense of smell
When asked "if you had to lose one sense which one would it be", why does everyone always pick "smell". I couldn't live without smell! If I had to lose one I'd pick "hearing"
(and I speak as someone who's had reduced hearing all his life)
