To all my blog readers, this will be a rather boring post. It is simply a publicly viewable snapshot of things in my life on my 18th birthday. If you want to know things I am into, or random things about me, then please, read on.
Interests

Movies / TV Shows
My favourite movie at this point in time is Mr. Nobody (2007). A beautiful film starring Jared Leto about choices and the paths they lead to.
I watch a few TV shows, and love watching the following when they air:The Walking DeadHouse of CardsGame of ThronesI am also making my way through Dexter and am midway through season 6 at the moment.
Gaming
I don't game a lot, but when I game on PS3 it's usually playing COD with Josh. And when I game on PC it is usually Battlefield under Windows (sadly). Waiting for a AAA FPS to come to Linux, or a great open source FPS
