Quick Bio
I'm the owner of this website; Nik, 22 years old, from the North West of England. I'm a student of many things including art, music, design, and technology.My interests include playing the piano, learning Japanese and studying the culture (not like kids thesedays who only learn languages to swear at people without them knowing), the paranormal and supernatural, mythology, designing websites, drawing, Half-Life and DooM (the classic PC games, amongst many more), psychology (even though I'm too blonde-minded to do any of it myself), Studio Ghibli, RPGs, technology, and mechanics.
Right now I am a simple Cafe worker!
Regardless, you wouldn't believe how busy I am.
The Beginning
I'd like to think I was a good hard-working child grown up in a close and happy family. I started playing the piano when I was 7 and have been drawing ever since I can remember. I always followed my brother and cousins around doing as they did although we didn't really cause much trouble (I hope).
I attended lovely primary and junior schools then left all my friends behind to go to a different secondary school with a better reputation, I'd have gone with them to Morton but my family stuck to Caldew.
Secondary School, 1999-2004
I loved secondary school, I became best friends with a couple of people nearly instantly and we had a lot of fun in our circle of friends going rollerblading and having sleepovers. Throughout the five years I spent at Caldew I learnt a lot about friendship, making the right choices, and how to hide doodles at the back of my exercise books.
My targets were high, mostly A*s and As however my lack of revision and pretty much doodling when I should've been listening left me with average grades of Bs, Cs, and two Ds. I was let down but knew it was my own fault.
College, 2004-2006
Instead of sticking my plans through and staying at Caldew to do Alevels I decided to quit after two days and go to college to do them instead. This was both one of my best and worst decisions in life so far. Worst because I absolutely flunked the three subjects I took and didn't make many friends, most the students were drug-using, party-going, sex-addicted wasters that spent most their days bragging about who they'd slept with the night before. I blame this for my unmotivation. Most the teachers were as unmotivated as me with the exceptions of Louise and Manuel. But anyway it was the best decision because I met my amazing partner there. He's my best friend in the world and I don't know where I'd be without him today. I love you Dale!
So, back to the point, I 'studied' English, Fine Art, and Performance Studies of which I got an E, C, and D. Bollocks, I know.
Diploma, 2006-2008
After this disappointing notice my mother pointed out an advert in a local newspaper for a Music course starting the next week, I hurried to the phone and got an interview instantly! I went in the next day and got myself a place on a Music Practice course. This was another of the best decisions in my life, if not the best. I made some of the most amazing friends there since we all had a lot in common through music and the teachers were brilliant!
Half-way through the course my mother became ill and was diagnosed with leukaemia which struck the whole family hard, but this made me push myself to get the best out of the course and make her proud. I came out of the course with the highest grade possible, triple distinction. I was so happy yet still felt I could do a lot better but now I know that if I'm determined to do something I will prosper.
Degree
This will be a short paragraph, I started BA Music at Newcastle University and moved into a flat with some lovely girls just a 1-minute walk from the RVI which my mother was admitted to a week before I moved over, her health had deteriorated overnight and she'd been moved to their Intensive Care Unit. My father and I visited her multiple times every day up until the 11th of October when she was tragically taken from us.
I left university shortly after this despite trying to keep up with the workload and decided to stay at home. I was offered a job months after constant anxiety attacks which I greatfully accepted.
The Present
Here's where I am now. I'm working at a cafe which is my main source of income, I'm designing websites and artwork for local bands and more! I don't mind not having gone to university, there's no way I'd like to be in so much debt anyway. For now I look forward to getting a house with my wonderful Badger and just generally having a nice time.
It may sound a bit mad to you, but every night since my mother's passing I've still spoke to her as if she's still here which I fully believe she is. I say good morning to her every day, talk whilst I'm doing the dishes or making a cup of tea incase she's right next to me, and say good night every single night. We're all so proud of you and thank you for everything you've done for us mum, you're the best and we love you so much. I know you're still here and I hope you're still proud of me.
I'll have to put up with feeling unintelligent without having a degree for now, but I don't mind!
I'll be quiet for now, well done if you read all that!
