About Andrew...

    This is one of those very silly pages that some people do when they set up their first web page. Tragic, truly tragic.

    Name: Andrew Duncan Heale
    Ancestory: The middle name's a hint...
    Course: Electrical Engineering, 6th year
    Age: Old enough to be out of uni

    Look, really I'm tall, dark and you know how the rest of it goes. I'm immensely desirable, available to anyone. Since I'm leaping into fiction-land here anyway, guys and girls both welcome. I think I'll go into the fantasy business. Nothing extreme 'till I've had practice - I'll be a toy-boy for the old and unfortunate who don't deserve me and -

    Damn! and I've been trying so hard to stop being an arrogant git. Still, there's some pills they said might cure me...

    Favourite Scent: Wattle blossom
    Fave car rego: BMEUP, FXION8, and WOGJET on a volvo...

    Life...

    Well I've been alive for a while, and I've even done some things I'm pleased to tell others about. When I have to pretend I have a life, this is what I talk about...

    • Players and Student Theatre - I crew, backstage and tech. Haven't beening doing much of this lately. I was really surprised when I discovered my Dad did this kind of stuff when he was young too. Like father, like son, and all that.
    • Cycling
      Faster than public transport! More P.C. than a car! Better than living on campus!
      I finally got myself on the Great Vic Bike Ride last year. I had a pretty good time, met a bunch of people, got tan lines from my bike shorts that are still there eight months later. The event is organised by Bicycle Victoria.
    • Music - I'm a fan of early 80's and other things that are incredibly trendy again, since many of the people who grew up with this music now have large disposable incomes. :)
    • I don't watch much TV. Press Gang was really cool, and I can't go without mentioning Buffy and Angel. I even tried writing a little Buffy fanfic, but I haven't published it (it's rather auxiliary anyway). However, I think a Buffy/Sex And The City crossover has possibilities.
    • I role-play occasionally. I seem to have become involved in a weekly game. See MURP.

    So, maybe there's something else I should have a go at... What would you suggest?

    Pet hates...

    Above the line is what I like. Below the line is hell. At least, follow the little pitchforks on the ground to my Pet Hates.

    • MacDonalds
    • Coke
    • Ads - especially tv and radio
    • Ads for maccas with a special coke offer

    • Motorists who abuse cyclists.
      "hey - get out of the way. you ain't got a rego have ya - mate."
      "Are you for real taking up a whole lane?"
      And the bastards who get as close to you as they can and then lean on the horn; passengers who scream out the window in your ear; idiots who throw rubbish at you (it was probably a MacBurgerBag(TM), just to add insult to... insult); and don't get me started on the incompetent in the yellow Ford who clipped my elbow with his wing mirror.

    • Microsoft. Windows sucks. Monopolys suck. I don't like their marketing. Their programming is slow, bug infested and grossly oversize.

      Did you know?
      I refused to watch "Independence Day" because it was sponsored by Mircosoft and Cocacola?
      Well, actually it was because I heard there was no story line - but don't tell anybody...

    • Smoking - it hurts to watch your friends sucking death, shortening their lives and establishing painful departure. But worse is how non-smokers with them are thoughtlessly dragged along.

    Wooooah. Heavy.
