  What else do you want Word Clouders to know? eg: do you have 9 cats / like paragliding / eat nothing but tinned fish / work in the bath / live in Kettering?
  I play guitar a hell of a lot, more than I write. I like to listen to people's conversations through my window and write stuff based on that. I listen to tons of metal, so my writing might have that heavy feel to it.
