Alright Ill give it ago..

Bonjeour, my name is peri ( its not short for peregrin :shifty: )

Im eighteen, nineteen this year..something to look forward to I suppose.

Im happily taken with me being with my girlfriend for a year and..eight? nine months? A helluva long time but were both happy. I was a lucky guy to meet her when I did and steal her away from her bf at the time ( cheating b*stard )

Im a big fan and I was brought into the zombie world through the resident evil games and finally a friend telling me his dad had video taped a movie just like resident evil. It was of course the masterpiece that is dawn of the dead, Ive been hooked on post apoloyptica ever since. I couldnt choose a favourite film, they all have something that I cant say no to.

likes: reading,writing, surreal moments, finding something surprising in someone you never saw coming

Dislikes: clubs, raves, amphetamines, chavs and the english language ( the course )

Favourite food: Special Fried Rice with some sweet and sour chicken balls... : Stomache growl:

Nice to meet you all.
Some interesting people, although I
do admit, I am feeling a little old :)
I hate sciencetology too, something about
that just rubs me the wrong way.
Dislikes, ego. People with huge egos,who think
they know everything about anything.
Likes, compassionate people who have a kind
word to say to someone who is suffering.
Just found out I have Fibromyalgia, so that sucks
the big one.
I smoke, I drink on occassions
and this site rocks

My favourite zed film is Dawn of the Dead, I came across the VHS UK Directors Cut a few years ago at a Sunday market and it eventually brought me here.

Hobbies include chilaxing, Good beer, DVD's and the computer. I do go out once in awhile, couple of weeks ago I was on a stag doo in Amsterdam and last week I saw Tiesto in Edinburgh, Ingliston.

Favourite drink is Duval now, I have given up the precious Leffe.
Favourite food is Pig (Bacon, Pork, ribs ect)

Dislikes: Adverts, UK goverment, reality shows, emotionally tactless people.
Likes: Beer with the lads, solitude (sometimes), UK comedy, cuban heels. :cool:

Am currently studying public service and working as a security officer until i get into the police force, which ive wanted to do since i was a little kid, i run these forums on neils behalf in my spare time and also do modder/design work for vBulletin, ive been running forums since 2001 now.

Dislikes ; fanboys, i see alot of them on forums and it pisses me off when people are stupidly devoted to something with a severe lack or understanding of plain facts, stupid people in general too.. rnb music, that annoys me, crappy movies too.. i always feel ripped off if i see a movie and its **** even if i didn't pay for it.

Thats about all i can think of for now, may edit this after.

People who know me call me Ayns short for ayns - ley ...they always mispronounce it and constantly ask how to say it... like it really matters lol... I am turning 24 this month and loathe my birthday I usually get broken up with this month and/or something awful happens and most people dont remember because its summertime aka playtime. Oh and i'm not single but like I said... for my birthday its a 90% chance i'll lose the ol bf.

I work for myself as a sort of private entertainer I enjoy what I do more than past jobs and am currently looking for employees. I'm also trying to buy a restaurant in the town I vacation at in Canada.

I like all kinds of music but my favorite band right now is Evans Blue... they're Canadiens and just lovely. I do really hate rap though I find it offensive and stupid.

I like tennis, running, swimming, texas holdem, and horror movies.
I hate people who only see one view and its their own, shady folks, and people who compliment me.

I sporadically go to college I'm supposed to go back in fall but really I just dont know if I'll be able to because i'm focused on working right now and on making my zombie series.

My favorite food is Mexican and fav dish is carne asada burritos from Olemendis... I've been going there since I was a kid and the owners are really nice its two brothers one of whom is a member of Governor Schwarzeneggers cabinet member.

silly post button...

I have no children and dont want any... my family is so effed up I fear i'll turn my kids into me and will never have some to prevent that kind of misfortune.

My favorite drink is rye and coke or a gold tequila margarita shaken with salt and served OTR with a float of Grand Marnier...

My least favorite drink is a pearl cream martini with vodka, buttershots, and cream... uh tastes really bad like egg whites or something similar

My fav zombie flick is 28 days later but my first was NOTLD remake... followed by DAWN then DAY then DAWN 04 then Resident Evil then 28 weeks later...
