First Post

Well this is m first post, so i guess i had better post something about myself.

Ive had one or two blogs before- on other sites, but i thought i would make a fresh start here.

So you may want to know a bit about me i guess.

My name is Nathan, i have 2 nicknames from different times in my life- Na-chan (from my college days) and Naytan (from my church days)

Well I'm 21, live in Canberra, Australia and work for the Federal Govt. booking conference rooms and filling up water jugs.

I'm short of stature and have great blue eyes, probably my best feature. 

I have eclectic tastes. 
Music wise i listen to pop music mainly, but i also venture into a bt of dance music, one of my favourite bands being Goldfrapp. My CD rack also includes musicals, opera and Japanese pop/rock. I also like some alternative stuff like Franz Ferdinand, MIA and The Music.

Litrature wise I'm a bit of a bookworm.
I read heaps of fantasy, my favourite authors being Robin Hobb, especially her live ship traders series. Raymond E. Fiest, Robert Jordan, Jennifer Fallon and all those high fantasy novels.
I have also come to be fond of the Tales of the City series by Armistead Maupin. Holding the Man is another fav of mine. 
I also read comics. I have some weird affinity with fantasy shoujo mangas, especially Clamp. Tsubasa is probably my fav, but i also keep up with Negima and Gakuen Alice. 
Teen titans is probably my fav western comic, but x-men is also a good read too.

I'm not much of a movie person, and usually find them a bit boring unless they're good quality. I'm more of a series person- especially cartoons. I like family guy, american dad, futurama, the simpsons... the usuals. I also love anime (mainly the old stuff) and cartoons like Kim Possible.  I've been getting into Heroes lately, thats pretty fun.

I have two older brothers, both married and a younger sister. I live with my Mum, sister and a border friend of Mums. I dont spend a great amount of time there... i spend most of it at my partners house, who im pretty cray over, ha ha.

Well I imagine that this blog will probably be used to publish a lot of random crap that i find on the net, in life, and all that stuff. Maybe some personal views, and probably a whole load of badly taken photos of stupid things i do... and dress ups i do.
