Gee's Stef... When did you become a giggling star struck little girl?

Tim's pretty cool though...

haha - it was the first interview I've done in a long time - I was a little nervous (does it show? :-) ...but we settled in after a while - it was great. He is a really intelligent and witty guy.

[Cyrius01]

Hi, Thanks! I just updated the title with date etc.  It was the morning after his big Enmore Theatre show in Sydney :-) He is a really great guy.

Is it just me or does anybody else want to know what he is like without a camera in front of his face. You know, like just to know him?

[oggie114]

@ittaBIT27 I know, I've got that doco. :)

[ittaBIT27]

@ElectroGirl04 creepy



[ittaBIT27]

@bananachip33 The closest you can get to him being himself is to watch his documentary "Rock and Roll Nerd" . He still has a camera on him, but he is very candid and the filmaker is a friend of his, so he is pretty casual and shows a very personal look at his life and rise to fame.

I really wish random guy would stop with the ums and ahs and the nodding of the head. You've asked the question, let Tim answer it. No-one wants to hear random guy's objective opinion on what Tim has to say..

[CaptChrisT]

I'm in favor of "Therefore Robin Hood" :-D

[hadikchik]

Lol reflection of a random guy in the background :P

I love Tim! :)

"I want people to get upset, by what I say... because what I say is quite judgemental..." Awesome ^^
