My name is Cameron McLean. For some people this is a name that will conjure up images of the fat nerd who was always crying (pre-1998) or just plain fucking weird (1998 onwards). I had a mixed life. I took a lot of shit as a kid to the point where I have trouble trying to think of those first 15 years as a childhood and more as a crash course in what to not be when I was older.
I play guitar. I used to play better than I do now. This is in part to the fact I can't practice anywhere near as much as I'd like to. I live with my parents. I'm 24 years old. This would seem bad until you realize that I am old enough to not actually put up with my darling mother's shit and I have only just returned to university. Since this happens to be Auckland University, I can't afford to live anywhere else... and hey, it's free. Awesome.
I have been told that I am creepy, weird, freaky, confusing, disturbing, sick, and a complete fuck up. I take pride in that it's my parent's often saying the first three and general public miscreants (i.e. commoners) saying the latter three. I take pride in the fact that I think and act rather uniquely yet retain a disgusting amount of sanity, intellect, and reasoning. It's a shame I have a lisp, it fucks up all my argumentative skills.
I did go to university (Otago) in 2001-2002, but I was unprepared for that. All those school years of grinding away and suddenly freedom? Yeah, I fucked it bad. Came home, on the benefit for two years, worked a bar frequented by gangsters, drug dealers, and transvestite hookers, and then got a job in insurance. This helped. Whatever else you do, realise that experience and knowledge of different sectors, communities, and lifestyles helps you to find your own path. Very hippie of me, I know, but it's true. I decided, 2.5 years later, that this wasn't for me and I wanted to get my god damn degree already. So I went back to university to resume/restart my studies in the wonderful world of Computer Science.
As of this moment, life is the best it has been ever. I am comfortable studying with piss all cash. I am happy not having the responsibilities of full-time work, avoiding the unfamiliarity of a new city, and being a complete nut-job without recrimination or some over-dressed PR friendly cum-stain asking me to fit the company mould.
And this would have to be one of the least drama-queened actual bios EVERA!1!11one ZOMG!!!1!321!
