well.. h. hows it going? im . im about 21.. and im now a masters student (how did that happen?) at sussex uni studying 'evolutionary and adaptive systems'. title. i graduated last year from birmingham uni with the best degree in artificial intelligence i could have asked for. the whole computer thing kinda pisses me ..so go figure.. you have these amazing creative tools but you all just abuse them.

anyway.. was i saying? yeah. im sure what my motivation for this is.. so i dont really what to write. well.. i guess i to put my stuff out there.. and having a website is like having a voice ..whatever means. its something to do anyway (but that sounds kinda weak). so nevermind.. please dont pay much attention to this page as its in constant need of updating. always.

s yeah. what do i do? ..what is my main thing? i dont really know. thats not very helpful is it? so in a historically decided order.. i play bass ..used to be in a few back in birmingham (mainly regress) but now all im really doing is radio feisar (and barely that) ..so always looking for a new band etc. guess music is of my main things. i ddle a lot.. sometimes draw stuff ..but i dont like i could call myself an at all. pyah. its all just different forms of the same expression ..right? aybe. i also like taking photos and looking at photos. i dig webpages ..as if you didnt notice. i do a lot of programming but this is all pretty academic. but thats my life recently. anyway.. all my stuff is hidden away over there somewhere (probably under stuff i do if your interested).. not very ll hidden i know. but maybe it was just a figure of speech.. okay.

and for strange reason i thought maybe someone might be interested in stff i like.. hence the stuff i like thing over there. just treat is 'laurence recommends' ..and we are all happy. okay. so so good. so what now? lemme see

okay.. i once wrote this about myself. its mostly made up but i like the sentiments. i feel ive grown up way too much since to include this at all. but i guess it was just one of the parts that make me up ..the same way that hannah was also a part of me (horrible in joke). i guess. haha. but anyway.. it went like this:

its kind of immaterial.. but..anyway.. my name is laurence ..im an only child.. born in the summer of 1981 in the middle of england ..it was great.. learnt to walk and talk.. then my parents decided to go to japan and took me with them.. this is where i lived..in a dense area of tokyo..until i was 11 when we moved to the states and i lived in boston.. when i was about 14 i learnt that the world was a beautiful place.. although im not sure how much i still believe that ..after i graduated my parents told me i was adopted and i left america and returned to england for the first time in 16 years ..im now studying artificial intelligence at birmingham university.. mostly content and rarely lonely..im having fun..
ive travelled the world and ive seen a lot..but occasionally i still find myself staring up at the sky in amazement.. this world we live in is so underrated ..its so intricate and well thought out.. this is gonna sound complicated but as a species we think way too much ..but never actually stop to feel ..to appreciate..to realise.. we just 'do' and 'use' ..but anyway.. i like my drawings..which i think is important.. but i hope other people do to..
id like to thank some people for being great.. encouraging.. inspiring.. whatever.. but im too embarrassed or scared.. you should know who you are.. there arnt many of you..

so.. have you noticed how huge the sky is recently? it can hold so much. its massive and it scares me. if you dont believe me then go and look for yourself.. youll see.. its a bit like looking out at the ocean at night. theres so much there but you cant see any of it.

im trying to make this a kind of amalgamation and update of all my previous s about me.. my first website is no longer with us. but i especially liked the sombre door game ..which is a rather large (over 100 rooms) maze type thing.. and emos puzzle ..which is quite similar. its more maths than maze. its dumb but solvable ..honest. anyway. all thats left now is the emo corp. conglomerate. parent corporation for all websites worth looking at that have anything to do with me. um. sheesh.


i wonder what i look like.. etc...

me in prague.. ..me when i was about 6 (or something)
im so comfy...


and theres some more photos of me under bass if youre really interested. and on my digital camera page. i got a tiny camera which i cant help taking random photos with. i try and put my favourites on that page. ive got some other photos i want to show you too. theyre summer photos and friends and stuff ..i just figured this would be the best place to put them. they dont really fit anywhere else. so. yeah.. please have a look. ..these are the things that make me up..

well.. enough of this crap.
