General

When I’m not jamming to music or reading, you’ll find me on the rugby field (that's league not union) or at the gym, getting in a good workout. I’m all about collecting—whether it’s coins, antique books, or old artifacts. There’s something about the history behind them that clicks with me. In my downtime, I’m diving into Skyrim, Fallout, or Red Dead Redemption 2. I’m also obsessed with cheese—yeah, it’s a thing.

Music

I’m all about the energy that comes with Rock, Alt Rock, New Wave, and anything else that slaps. My playlist is a mix of everything from the gritty sounds of *Doolittle* by Pixies to the slick beats of *AM* by Arctic Monkeys. You’ll catch me bumping *Blurryface* by Twenty One Pilots or *Paranoid* by Black Sabbath—it’s all about the vibe, right? I don’t stick to one thing. Whether it’s Permanent Wave, New Romance, or some classic Rock, I just go with what feels good in the moment. I discover new music in the wildest ways—talking to people, diving into random subcultures, or just stumbling across something unexpected. Been to a ton of underground gigs, and yeah, I can play a bell lyre—so I’m all about that live music energy. Music’s not just something I listen to; it’s something I live.

Movies

I’m all about Comedy, Action, and Horror Thrillers. Edgar Wright is a legend. *Shaun of the Dead* and *Hot Fuzz* are both on repeat—if you don’t get why *Baby Driver* is the definition of cool, we need to talk. Those movies are like the perfect playlist—fast, funny, and you can watch them a hundred times and still laugh. When I need something deeper, *Perks of Being a Wallflower* is the movie I’m vibing with. If you don’t know what it’s like to feel like Charlie, you’re missing out. *Manchester by the Sea* wrecked me, too—if you didn’t cry when Casey Affleck’s character drops that line, “I can’t be around you right now,” then you might be a robot or something. And if you haven’t seen *The Rocky Horror Picture Show* at a midnight screening, you’re not living. *Time Warp*, dressing up, throwing toast—it’s a whole vibe. *Rocky Horror* is like the ultimate guilty pleasure and a rite of passage for anyone who’s into cult classics.

Television

TV’s gotta be all about comedy for me—whether it’s *An Idiot Abroad*, *The Inbetweeners*, or *Friday Night Dinner*, I’m here for the laughs. I’m the kind of person who binge-watches entire seasons in a day. Don’t even try to tell me to just watch one episode. *Cobra Kai* is my guilty pleasure, even though it’s super cringe. I can’t help it, I’m hooked. But if we’re talking all-time favorite, *Doctor Who* takes the crown. I’m all about both the classic and modern eras, but Peter Capaldi is my Doctor. His take on the Time Lord is next level—sharp, intense, and absolutely iconic. And, of course, I’m obsessed with iconic characters. Sheldon Cooper’s quirks are hilarious, Karl Pilkington’s deadpan humor is top-tier, and Jay Cartwright from *The Inbetweeners*? The dude’s a legend. Also, gotta shout out the dad from *Friday Night Dinner*—if you know, you know.

Books

I’m all about poetry and adventure. Lord Byron’s my guy—his writing is pure fire. If you haven’t read any of his stuff, what are you even doing? But when I’m not diving into classic poems, I love getting lost in an adventure. Harry Potter is the series, no question. It’s like a whole universe you can escape to, and I’ll never get tired of it. I’m into both fiction and nonfiction—sometimes I want to live in a fantasy world, other times I need something real and thought-provoking. But yeah, Byron’s words will always be my go-to.

Heroes

My biggest hero? It’s definitely me in 10 years. I’m all about that growth and self-improvement, and I’m working hard to get there. But I also look up to John Wick—dude’s the definition of badassery. No one messes with him, and I respect that level of toughness. Master Oogway from *Kung Fu Panda* is another one—his wisdom is next-level, and he’s a reminder that strength isn’t just physical, it’s mental, too. My mom’s been a huge influence on me, she’s always been there, and I admire her strength and love. As for historical heroes, King Cnut stands out—he wasn’t just some king, he was a ruler who commanded total respect. The way he showed his power and how he knew the limits of it (like with the tide) makes him a legend. It’s all about owning your authority and understanding when to wield it. Cnut had that level of control and wisdom that you can’t help but admire.
