Absurdtrousers

About Absurdtrousers

I'm 32 years old, as of November 2013, live in Manchester in the UK and have a BA/Hons degree in English Literature. I am currently studying for an MA in Art History (more for pleasure than anything else).

I would rather not mention my real name on Wikipedia.

I am male, heterosexual and support Amnesty International, the NSPCC, and The Samaritans.
