What can I say about myself, really? I don't consider myself to be a very interesting person. Enough about that, though. I like reading (a variety of things, mostly non-fiction, like about various militaries or about sports), soccer (or football), writing (mostly semi-autobiographical stories), cricket (a game played by former British colonies) and animals - I used to feed the local birds before they kept swarming around our house and I own a dog and a guinea pig - they have both enriched my life in ways that are hard to describe. I have a pretty solid figure - but I exercise aggressively for 30 minutes when I spend my days at home. Some of the photos make me look fatter than I am, too. I speak English, Spanish, some Portuguese and a little bit of Malay - my mother is from Malaysia. She's mostly of French background, so that is basically why I have white skin - my father is of mostly British descent. Since the educational department in Queensland are idiots, I've never had the opportunity to learn a language of much use outside of Japan - I did learn Spanish and Portuguese by myself, though (mostly anyway). I don't think of myself as being attractive, but not really ugly, either. I cringe at most of my photos. I don't drink or smoke. I don't drink because I hate both beer and wine (alcoholic drinks of choice in Australia) and because I want to manage my weight. I've seen what alcohol has done to my grandfather - who is basically a walking blimp (he's also full of hot air ;)). I don't smoke because it is expensive and hazardous to long-term health. I'm a Roman Catholic. I believe in God and go to church once every few weeks, but I get bored there. My star sign is Leo, but that really doesn't reflect me. I'm very introverted (often called shy) and tend more towards prudence than hedonism. I don't really feel comfortable in clubs and the like - the noise and the lights get to me. My chinese sign is Snake - actually, having had a look at this sign's characteristics, it fits me much better than the Leo sign does. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Commerce with Finance and Accounting majors and a Master's Degree in Governance and Public Policy with a major in Public Management. I'm currently working in an accounting firm...as an accountant, boring though that job can be. I don't like spouting platitudes about myself, but I like to think of myself as being loyal, intelligent and monogamous - I don't approve of adultery.
