The TICK

Where's the Afro?

Timmaz, The Tick, aptly named by Ross, is a recovering insomniac (I should specify that the wee hours of the morning are when the most disturbing cartoons appear on the sci-fi channel, so he is forgiven for wanting to stay up to watch them). This insomnia causes frequent tardiness, absence and ill health, leading him to be somewhat lost in many of his classes. This being said, he is a very intelligent person and quite sharp, VERY slow to get something done, trying to be too meticulous with his presentation. His mind is a veritable database of songs and lyrics and he has a great long term memory. Timmaz is a social man, he drinks socially and eats selectively, only the best Raison D'etre sandwich for our Timmaz or nothing at all. Quite simply a hub of social activity. This guy is a great advocator of the 'clapping game' which involves tapping the rhythm to your favourite tune and having others guess what it is. What fun. Some have said that he once spent 3 hours playing that game on his own at a party. A model student were it not for his snail pace  production of work. He buys unbelievably expensive trousers and shirts and coats, be it Levi's, Abacrrombie & Fitch or whatever (he's currently competing with Salim in a battle to own the most Levi's wear). But Beneath that happy go lucky smiling face lies a sneaky bastard, who always seems to know what's going on and has the 'dirt' on everybody. What does Timmaz do outside school? He's in a band 'Husky' that sound pretty good for an amateurish band and has some musical ability as he is a self taught guitarist, him and his band appeared in a J-17 magazine interview if that says anything. He plays football when called upon and is highly skilled at it. He wants to study Japanese as he possesses a certain cultural diversity and, in true Personal Statement style, 'finds it easy to adapt to new situations'
