| Bio: | John was born in the 1970s. In retrospect, this was a mistake. He lives in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike, running from Canary Wharf to the old Albion Dock. They were hewn just over a century ago by a race of cat-people, surviving on the giant rodents attracted to London's main food port. In a sense, little about South London has changed. John works in PR for a shadowy organisation which aims to take over the English countryside, and hold the cities to ransom. Their key demand is the reform of capital financing procedures.
John fell in love with a tree sylph named Arabella at the age of eight, and has remained in this state for the intervening two decades, though the sylph escaped. John prefers to use overlap than rupture to explain how these two decades span so many women, and so few mythical creatures (though late at night he has problems telling the difference). Alcohol may, at some stage, be said to have clouded John's judgement.
Mostly, however, John spends his time building sandcastles, and etching 'humanity is defiance' into the beach as he waits for the tide to come in. He welcomes offers of other art-school undergraduate gestures which may be used to substitute for lack of originality and talent. Too many years of working hard and playing hard have left John's mental, emotional and physical well-being best described as 'a cross between a Rubik's Cube and a train crash'. Which is nice. One way or another, he seems to muddle through.
Very little of any interest to say, befriend me if you want, and you're more than likely to be friended back. Then you'll have to read twice as much of this rubbish, including general angst, which usually relates to women, work, money, or people being evil (all things of which I deeply approve) - and sometimes all four (bonus).
At a loss to describe myself, I asked my friends to do it for me. Extra submissions are welcome at any time. First come first served, no purchase necessary.
jdc is...
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ksta -- a cool and hot manga muffin.
julietk -- a) my brother; b) entirely barking; c) kitten-obsessive d) lovely.
brokenblossom -- a pedant and cyclist
wicker_girl -- Rarely without his burgundy velvet suit, a cheeky grin and a pervy remark. His general loucheness however is undermined by his hilarious voice.
karen2205 -- wise beyond his years, witty
skyward -- a foppish young gent with excellent sandwich ideas
pippaalice -- a boy
dreamingofme -- bizarre, truely bizarre. But entertaining.
hannibella -- Strange, in a 'revealing the past of a famous politician' kind of way.
ewx -- a stylishly appareled fish.
deathcookie -- funky.
willjsm -- really quite tall, has the longest legs in northampton, sometimes funny.
feanelwa -- Wrong, because I am always right.
azureskies -- northampton's second most famous resident (behind alan moore).
punkymunkygrrl -- suaaaave.
littlestella06 -- taking his first steps into adulthood with the purchase of a flat with a fine view of a big field. he continues his work for a shadowy organisation.
dislocatedchaos -- not me.
diamond_geyser (somewhat missing the point) -- going to get progressively more excited over the next 3 weeks that I have the same birthday (AND release date for LOTR 4-disc DVD set).
DJ JohnT -- Very erudite, reasonably clever, fundamentally dishonorouble. Distorter of history and apologist for atrocity. Not much different to a holocaust denier.
wicker_girl -- if jdc is ever shot it will be by angry husbands/fathers/wronged ladies. or by his own hand. |
