I haven't seen a topic like this here yet (although it's probably been done), so I made one.
In short - you describe yourself. Who you are, what you're like etc.
Of course it's also an excuse to post a photo of yourself so we find out what we all really look like.
Here goes:
About me:I'm Will, I'm 17 years old and I live in the major port town Southampton, in the United Kingdom.
I've been called a beanpole in the past - as I am 6ft tall and weigh 158lbs.
I have two brothers (12 and 3 years old) and help look after the family pets with them - a rabbit and a guinea pig.
My academic life; political views and employment:I recently got straight As at GCSE level in school, and I'm now going to King Edward VI Sixth Form College.
I'm a member of the middle-class and have slightly right-wing political views. I'm also a nationalist who wishes his country was still in its old glory days and didn't act like America's lapdog.
I am also an agnostic who believes that theism and science can co-exist peacefully.
I'm a waiter for functions and conferences at the Hilton hotel down the road from where I live, but I aim either to become a journalist of some kind, or a novellist. I also wouldn't rule out law as a possible career path.
My interests:I go to the home football (that's European football i.e soccer) matches of my town's club, which is currently struggling in the Premier League. I'm quite interested in football and I'm a competent player of the sport. I'm also a good runner over 400m, 800m and 1500m.
Before I gave it up 2 years ago, Swimming was my main sport. I could swim 25m freestyle in about 13.5 seconds and swam at city level, and (briefly) county level.
My non sporting interests include video games, reading, classical and classic rock music and sleeping (I'm a lazy bugger).
Other:I'm an impassive character - some might even say cold and unemotional. Smiling doesn't come easily to me but I have a dry sense of humour. I have little luck with the opposite sex.
And now for a photo of me (and half of my grandmother's head too) - taken yesterday when I turned 17:

Of course you're under no obligation to post here - but it would be interesting to know who it is I'm talking to on these boards.
