My name is Robbie and I live in a dreary, xenophobic city called Peterborough. I spend my days hanging out with friends, playing guitar, playing utterly pointless RPGs on MySpace, watching classic anime such as Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and Berserk, growing and maintaining my leonine hair, collecting videogame and anime figures, listening to and hoarding obscure metal, jazz and hip-hop, texting people, laughing at my own jokes, drinking various heated beverages and generally staying just below the poverty line.
