As the title suggests, I have entered the Xanga King competition due to the lack of male contestants running! (Come on guys! 15 spare places?!) I don't expect to win but what harm can running do anyway? So I thought I'd give it a go!

A Little Bit About Me
I'm really your regular 17 year old teenager! I was born in England, 1992, and have recently moved to America nearly two months ago now!!! Still don't know anyone so the laptop and sketchbook have been filling in for a best friend! I'm an amateur artist and not too good at that but i enjoy doing it! It helps me relax and remain calm, especially since I don't have anyone to talk to at the moment! Other than my art, I love music. I rarely go 5 minutes without singing or listening to my iPod! I'll listen to anything, from rap to heavy metal! Gaming is also big on the agenda (Told you I'm your typical teenager!). My Xbox 360 is my baby - I love it to bits! XboxLive has helped me speak to a lot of people and get to know american friends!
My History?
I've not had a very eventful life. I lived in England until July this year in a little couldesac called Parsons Drive. The area i lived in was very nice, quite posh too! There were no gangs or "Chavs" or anything of the sort and I grew up in a rather tight knit circle of friends who were, and still are, always there for me! I did karate for 9 years and won a few trophies for kicking ass (woohoo!) and passed all my subjects in school with better than average grades. The only horrible memory I have is my uncles passing on December 8th 2007. He had had cancer for about a year by then, but it was supposed to have been "getting better". All of a sudden it spread all over.... (Can anyone say "bad luck"?). He was the one to give me my first job. I'd spent every weekend with him for three years and it was very hard to see such a strong, proud man (Always the life of the party!) in such a weak state.... Then I up and left to move to New York!
Relationship-wise..
I've never been too good at relationships, it seems I always have bad luck with them. I've been used, abused and cheat on too many times to mention and the times that hasn't happened is when I get too scared and end it out of paranoia. But now I think I've got it good! I've got an absolutely wonderful girlfriend and I love her to bits so wish me luck!!!
The Username
Well, It just came from a random doodle that I did! I thought about Xanga and just used him as my own character/persona! Not much to say, although I have become quite attached!!!
Everyone wants to know why it is that you are participating in the contest, so in a few sentences will you please explain why you believe that you should be crowned King of Xanga?
Honestly? I just thought It'd be a passtime. Something to do since I have nothing else. It seems to be a fun thing and I thought I'd take up another of the unused spaces so, here I am!
Please list three (3) things that you could improve about yourself giving a short explination to each of the reasons.
3 things I'd improve? I'd say the first would be my trust. I don't trust people regardless, no one gets to see the real me or my thoughts and feelings other than the ones I choose to show. I'm a closed book and It's gotta be a bad thing, right? Secondly, I'd change my jealousy! I get extremely jealous of the strangest of things! Even over friends! I'm crazy, I tell ya! But yeah, when it comes to Cherish I lose myself and It needs to stop. Finally, I'd change my self esteem. I've been shot down and abused so much in relationships that negative thinking is more or less my defence mechanism now. If I think the worst of myself no one can hurt me, right? But people get annoyed when I put myself down and It isn't the best "friend catching" skill!
If you could change ONE thing about today's society what would you change, and why?
I'd change societies image of an "ideal" person. Or erase it, so to speak. An ideal person should not be an image or a physical template, It should be a moral compass. A guide of how to act. Right and wrong. That's where we've lost our mark as human beings. Vanity and Egotism have hijacked our world and, instead of doing good for others, we do good only for ourselves.
Five years from now where do you see yourself?
In five years? I'll still be earning my PHD in psychiatry! So college i guess? I'd love to be doing "on the job" degree training but who knows?!
If you could change ONE thing about Xanga what would you change, and why?
The only thing that gets me about Xanga is the unsung blogs. The great blogs that go unnoticed every minute! If I could change it, I'd make them more visible like an update of new blogs or popular blogs etc.
