Raised by badgers.
Trained in the deadliest arts of po-ken-eye by a (ironically) blind old hedgehog.
Captured by the feared Pilates' Pirates.
Only to prove his worth and become there leader, blazing a trail of discord and good muscle-toning across the seas and channels of the world.
He is an Admiral to some, but a Hero/Incompetent Muppet to more!
....
He is also stark-raving mad and likes to make things up about himself because this the internet and no-one can check the facts, right? He also has talked in the third person to beyond the point of defensibility.
So I'll stop. Hello! I'm Dan Stubbs, and I currently live in the region known as the Midlands, UK. I am 25, a Scorpio, and a 'ler, for those of you wish to know 🙂
I am exceptionally laid back, slow to anger, and quick to forgive. I want to understand the problem and fix it with reason and compromise long before I throw my toys out the sand pit and kick up a stink, and although I think that's a great philosophy to hold if you want to sleep easy at night, I've found that in th real world it can hold you at a disadvantage somewhat. I can't list any achievements here because I have yet to make any happen, but that's what you get for being a bit too laconic for your own good.
Having said that, I can be passionate, out-spoken (often at the most in-opportune of moments) and stubborn in my beliefs, especially when it concerns politics, sociology and philosophy. I have studied them all at one point or another. One day I'll get around to finishing my courses, but don't hold your breath 😉
I enjoy the usual things that everyone else does; music, (Doves, Bowie, Bluetones), films (The Dark Knight, Fargo, Transformers: The animated movie {wooo!}) and literature (9 Princes of Amber, The Secret History,The girl wjo loved Tom Gordon), but I'm a bit of a recluse when it comes to going out and part-aying. I like my own company, the quiet, and the opportunity to be left to my own devices and to fill them with my own thoughts. I think a lot. Too much, especially when I'm stressed or upset.
Anyway, I enjoy writing fiction, too, when the mood takes me,and I love reading and supporting my friends' creative endeavours in any way I can. I believe that the finest things in life are, in this order:
3) Good Wine
2) Good stand-up comedy (read: Eddie Izzard and Dylan Moran)
1) Jaffa Cakes
I currently work as a supervisor for a supermarket, directing my team to put out stock as and when we receive it from our depots. It's a bit like playing Tetris, tbh. I'll be moving onwards and upwards just as soon as I've figured out where the hell I'm going to.
I was a lover of tickling since I was very small, and I'm fairly sure that Freud would have a field day with my brain and all the gooey hidden secrets it contains were he still alive to prise me open and take a peek. But he isn't, so I don't think too much about it. I am happy with who I am, and my fetish, and so has everyone else who has come into contact with it. I made my peace with my oddities a long time ago, and see them as unique selling points rather than "bad personality credit". And I think I just butchered that metaphor in a very bad way. Ah well.
Hmm...what else to say? I am old-fashioned, with an old-head on young shoulders, always thoughtful but sometimes too serious, and I think I'm fairly generous and pretty good-natured, despite the sarcasm (oh, so *much* sarcasm...).
Oh! And I type too much. You probably guessed that already.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well
