Well I've done the MRN, and the MRC, and now taken even more responsibility under my belt with the MRG. (And Im paying for this one LOL) And I have to say life is good. Especially when I look at other sites and see the fights going on there. Oh well, with all of the "troublemakers" on the MRG you'd think they wouldn't keep having all these fights. The MRG doesn't =) Which is something I am very proud of, that we have a great group of players and staff who work well together and help one another out. Why did I leave these other sites ?? Differences of opinion is probably a rather gentle way of putting it. Lets just say that certain individuals caused me to re-evaluate whether I wished to stay at those sites or not. So I left.
For those of you that know me, what is below is the usual old rubbish, (albeit with a few new additions and alterations.) Those of you new to the UN Spacy Database, and wondering who I am, (can't think why but some people do LOL,) and be wondering what my likes and dislikes are, my hobbies, loves and hates, and interests. Of course you could have just heard of the PVC pics and want a good laugh =) Well, below are some of my statistical details and some other insights, including some brief details on my responsibilities with the Macross RPG Galaxies site.
BTW Im not photogenic and I hate having my photo taken, but Im currently looking for some up to date pictures. First a new phone though as my new mobile has no keylock and keeps ringing friends when I don't realise it. (Sorry Al & Dan.)

Personality
What defines a person? Some might say the way they look, others might say what they own, and others yet may also say who a person associates themself with, or what their job is. All of which are true to some extent but the fundamental essence of what defines a person is their personality. What they are like as a person. Now I should stress the comments I have put here about my personality are the majority vote, (and has included direct input from friends,) and obviously not the comments of my detractors, although honest criticisms are included.
Im described by my peers as being a kind hearted person (some say childlike innocence of good heartedness at times.) Im an entertainer, as in, I seek to raise the spirits of those around me and provide entertainment, and in many ways be part of the central attention, if not at the actual centre itself. Part of the joking, entertaining part of me is why I chose the GM Pseduonym of Jester, as I'm commonly making jokes at my own expense for laughs much like the Court Jester would. Im intelligent with a questing mind, and I am an avid reader, although Im a bit of a dreamer as well, (LOL I can hear my mother agreeing already,) yet practical as well. Im also my circle of friends agony uncle. Im also stubborn, passionate about the things and people I care about, and at times arrogant, very very very stubborn at times, and I dislike stupidity, (I dumped an Admirals daughter over this once, and no Im not making it up,) and close-mindedness, these two things are guaranteed to annoy the hell out of me. All in all Im a nice person who's fun to be around, and loves adventure and going out. =) Finally, and some people see these as character flaws Im very optimistic, mixed with a dash of realism however. I will always hope for the best even when I know that there is only the slimmest chance of it coming out good. Oh did I mention egotistical ???? (Like which man isn't ??? =) You can probably also see from this page that I do like to talk. I love talking in fact, and Im a very open kind of guy and you'll find that I don't get embarrassed by anything. Several years in Customer Service, and a lot of travelling around the world on my own have increased my confidence and armoured me against getting easily embarrassed. =)
Musical Tastes
My musical tastes vary widely, although there are one or two musical genre's that I thoroughly dislike. One is Reggae, (I can not understate how much I detest Bob Marley's music in particular,) the other is Club music, namely the irritating electronic brainwashing that most clubs play. (The stuff they play everywhere in Ibiza.) My favourite types of music are metal, (traditional, goth and nu-metal mostly, which Im banned from playing at home by Nat so I only get to watch Kerrang when she's asleep,) classical and classical film and mood music, (such as Enigma, the Meet Joe Black soundtrack, and Soundtrack to Woman on Top,) and South American style music, (Woman on Top soundtrack again.) Im not a great fan of pop although I do listen to some of it. Most of it however I find to be clone manufactured rubbish, (if you ever see me listening to Steps or the Spice Girls beat me round the head with a large stick until I stop.) I've listed below some of my favourite songs.
Songs
Defying Gravity - Wicked The Musical
Rammstein - America

A final note. If you don't have the City of Angels Soundtrack, I strongly suggest that you buy it, even if just for Paula Cole's Feeling Love, and Sarah McLaughlin's Angel. You'll thank me for it after you hear them. But sit somewhere you can focus on them entirely so as not to spoil the effect =)
Friends
Noted below are a few friends and loved ones. This isn't a full listing just a sample really, until such time as I can get more photo's as I lost the last lot during the server swap over. Most of my closest friends are not present due to a lack of photo's, although I have some I just need to get them scanned in. (when I replace my scanner)
Nat
Nat
Hands, eyes and everything else off lads, this one is mine ;) Nat, apart from being my bestfriend, lover, life partner, Mistress, wife, and the Goddess I worship ;) and everything else, is also my assistant (Yippee Im the boss on one thing at least, coz Im certainly not the boss at home LOL) on the Macross-15 Campaign. If Im unavailable, on holiday, ill or abducted by aliens everything defers to her. Which hopefully as we live together she should know where I am =) What can I say about Nat ?? She is perfect, in every way. Looks, personality, cooking ability (Nat's empanada's are to die for =) although you definately do not want to be on her bad side. So in closing, I will say two things about Nat. 1) I am a lucky git =) 2) Mine mine mine ;)
Important Note
I'll update this more as time goes by, at the moment this is just a brief update, as I haven't got all the files I need as many have been lost. Much of this page has had to be rewritten from scratch with pictures Im not entirely happy with, (like my last passport photo,) so Im working on getting more up to date photo's as the only one's I have are a year old. Mind you saying that I haven't exactly changed much in the last year.
I've added a few extra pictures below, and will add more as I soon as I can. Which means that the Havant lot had better get some bloody photo's to me quick. =) And despite someone's bizarre request no I will not be adding pictures of my ex-girlfriends, (derr like why ??? However I will tell you that they were all brunette, very good looking, (what you expected me to go out with sub-standard women ??? LOL) but no where near as wonderful or as perfect as Nat =) (right that should keep a couple of fans happy, and I won't have to sleep on the sofa for the next week =)
From left to right we have Matt, unknown guy, (he wasn't with us,) Kev, and Stuart. This photo was taken at a regular saturday night out at the Dungeon in Southampton 2001. And no I have no idea what on earth possessed Stuart to dye his hair that colour.
Wee little Hazel,(left,) and Caz, (right,) amused by something or other in the Fuzz and Firkin in Portsmouth. No idea what they are grinning for as I have fantastic blackmail photo's of the pair of them he he :) And the best thing of all is that they took the pictures themselves with my camera LOL
Same night as the picture above from the other side of the table. Tim ape'ing it up for the camera. Which is better than his present Medallion Man impression. I shall say this only once Tim, I don't care if your ex bought you the ring and necklace.....they are enormous and ugly and make you look like a Gigolo wannabe. LOL =) (And for those originating from the Surrey area with a penchance for sending Postcards from abroad with incorrect information on, Tim is not my gay lover..... News Flash Ends, roll VT ;) (Evil Grin)
Heidi hiding from the Wookie with the camera, and grabbing Kev's arm for support. Not that he is going to complain of course =) (Can't remember where this was taken, somewhere in Southsea before heading off to Subversion I think.)
Havant Posse
Tim is shown above, but the rest, i.e. Mr and Mrs Wilson, (Dan & Zoe,) Sally, Kat, Al, Steve, etc, etc, I need to get scanned in.
