Hello world! I'm Tyrannosaurus Alan and... no hang on, that's not me. I'm James. Usually quite chirpy, if occasionally a bit cynical and sarcastic. Until recently I've been a filmmaking student, making some bizarre short films and animations. I still enjoy it and I have my own little editing station now at home so it’s still something I hope to pursue, even if only as a hobby. It’s been quite a bizarre journey so far, I started way back when wanting to be an actor, that led me into writing which in turn got me into filmmaking. Currently I’m more involved in music. I play guitar, sing and write songs, and at the moment I’m involved with a band called Somewhere To Fit. I own a PRS SE Soapbar II, an Ovation Applause and a Wesley Jasper, which makes me glad I don’t have children as if my house was on fire I don’t know what I’d want to save first. I work as a technician in the performing arts, media and music department of the local college, which kind of brings together a bizarre mish-mash of all my passions. I am a proper geek, I make no bones about that. I’m utterly obsessed with Doctor Who, Hellboy and Nintendo. Okay, so I’ve never been to a convention, never cosplayed (apart from the odd fancy dress birthday party) and I don’t stalk stars or believe they are actually the person they play on TV. I do however hoard memorabilia. I have several TARDISes, A good few Daleks, action figures, books, DVDs, games and also enough guitars and musical paraphernalia to start my own shop. I can quote lines from movies and TV with great accuracy, and will do without prompting, so beware. I can also often be found shouting at some sort of game, usually when I’m doing pretty badly. Mario seems to get it more than anyone else, but that’s only because I can only take so many “wwOOOOOAAAaaooAAHH!”s before I want to throw my Wii Remote out or the window. When I’m not working, playing, writing or shouting at plumbers I can usually be found relaxing with my girlfriend and generally being a lazy bastard. But I live in the Rhondda, so there’s nothing else to do. I’m serious - it’s a good day when the rain is at less than a forty-five degree angle. Never move here. Ever.
