Tragedy Thrills

Name's Nick, I'm basically an insensitive, sarcastic asshole and I don't really believe in anything, but that's apathy/nihilism for you. I'm 18, about 6 foot 3, alcoholic and smarter than you. I really care about other people's needs and opinions, no, seriously, I do. I live off music; Ian Curtis, Jim Morrison, Frank Black and Thurston Moore are my absolute, musical hero-idols.

Shooting, drinking and metal.
Everything a man needs.
And World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, a couple of other MMOs, Halo 3, COD4, basically any Total War game.

Doing the HSC was pretty much the best time of my life... in much the same way that Stockholm Syndrome makes you like your captors.
