I’m 22, a gamer and love it. I enjoy reading, writing and gaming and keeping healthy. I count myself as an easy to get on with type of person who is out going and tries to be respectful to everyone, although I realise I cannot please everyone.

I live with my parents and 1 younger brother who games when he can.

Oh and my favourite colour is purple!
