Wall of text approaches!

I don't just like pirates. I like history in general, and my favourite time period is in fact the middle ages. I love anything medieval- artwork, music, literature, architecture...the middle ages in general.
I like art. Not just creating it, but looking at it too. I like a lot of different styles of artwork, not just the typical manga and anime or semi realistic stylised thing that most people here seem to love. I love pre-raphaelite paintings and drawings. They're some of my favourites, particularly because of the subject they cover. I like other things too though, and you could ask me about it. ;D
I do create art too. I have an odd sketchy style that no one (including me) likes. I just enjoy doing it. I also like to make things. The last thing I made was a deer head trophy made from cardboard.
I love music. Not just listening and appreciating, but creating it. I play guitar and have been for 8 years now, and I also sing, I have my grade 5, and next will be grade 7. I have been performing on stage even before I was 4. The choir I belong to has been on tours to destinations such as Poland, Rome, and most recently, Paris. I can't say that musicals are my favourite thing in the world, but when you want to act then sometimes you've just got to take any part in any production you can. However, I do love Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, and if you've heard of them and appreciate their charming characters and Brit-wit as I do, you are epic. The last role I had in one was the Lord Chancellor from Iolanthe. I was going to be Robin Oakapple/Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd in Ruddigore, but it was cancelled, and a little bit of me died inside.
My favourite music genres are rock and folk, but I do like a bit of baroque, classical, romantic or pre baroque on the side. I'm no expert, but I know when I like a piece of music. In general, I like old man/dad music. If your dad likes it, I probably will too.
I like fantasy. A lot. I always have. I always will. This comes into almost every one of my other hobbies, as I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, listening, watching and imagining fantasy.
Pirates are cool too. Obviously.
I like video games. Rpgs are my favourites. Stuff like Fable and Oblivion. Used to play a lot of mmorpgs but my computer can't handle them much these days. The first game I ever played was Neverwinter Nights and I still love it.
Now you're expecting me to say 'I play DnD'
Well I wish. I bought a starter set and I have no one to play it with. That's sad isn't it? Yes it is. I don't have many friends anymore. Not proper ones. I'm not supposed to trust people so much now after I was targeted, then verbally and mentally snipered by the people I once called friends. But that's in the past now. I just find it hard talking to people so much now.
Anyway. That will do for now, until I find some more to say.
Yes, of course I have more to say.
