Music, music, music.All sorts, but especially modern folk and Indie. Mumford & Sons are brilliant...Laura Marling is simply amazing. I'm in love with her. Amazing music, amazing person. She's incredibly young as well, she says she 'grew up too fast', I can relate. There's a real honesty and first person authenticity about her music and everything she does that's really rare, I think. She doesn't care about image and has an incredibly unique view on things....some people say weird....I completely get her!
Ridiculously obsessed, but I guess we cling to the people we perceive to be perfect, and I don't see any media or commercialism distorting her image, as it does almost literally everyone. She's probably the only ''celebrity'' I'll ever truly be obsessed with. I'm rarely not watching videos of her songs/interviews/etc.
Others include Bon Iver, Jose Gonazalez, Xavier Rudd, The Shins, Fionn Regan, Johnny Flynn, Ben Howard, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Elliot Smith, Noah and the Whale, Fleet Foxes, Simon & Garfunkel, even things like Chilli Peppers and then..Muse (a little)..I even have one or two absolute favourite classical songs...
You've got to like The XX?
Also due to pure guitar obsession, Andy Mckee, John Butler, and Joe Satriani..
and endless other things. I used to write...a bit...don't have time...
I also like photography., a lot.
I prefer 'oldspeak'.
Other then that....more averageness... I'm Conor. Student. 18. Irish. You might not believe me but I've never sent anons on this (actually, once, but not again :p) and I've got rid of the option on mine because it doesn't make sense to have to publish something that someone doesn't want to put their name to. Anyway what's wrong with showing your face? There's not much to lose. Not with me anyway.

Darkness Descends
The Clown
Face-paint and a checklist set,
Routine tricks and heart that beats.
Innocence pleased and wonder shared,
With coupled hands and vision blurred.
Coloured fortune masquerades,
As crinkled eyes remember well.
Lithesome youth brings light to shade,
Stifles dark and empty days.
Box and hats exaggerate,
Buttons broken call to mind.
Praise for present details found,
In simple cues and objects round.
Silence weeps in lonesome ease,
Of home and tears that shed.
Weary in his aging skin,
His mind will rest free of sin.
