Getting Personal - Part 1 "Lionel"

If it’s not yet obvious by how many times we say our names on air (yes, we're a bit self obsessed), The Limelight Hour is produced by Lionel, Kevin, Asami, and I. To help you get more acquainted with us, I will be posting a series of entries dedicated to each individual, so that each one will get the Limelight they deserve.

According to the order we say our names on air, let's begin with Lionel…

Nigel Nobody (Lionel) might seem upon first impression, a bit of a dickhead to some. Get to know him better though, and you will learn he's actually an altruistic, nice, caring boy. He's a lot more compassionate than he gets credit for. Just recently, he abandoned a night out with The LLH team to be a good companion and listening ear to a friend. He would hate that I'm making him sound like, er... a little kitten; so let’s move onto his more stereotypical masculine virtues.

He's a born leader, a successful entrepreneur and the creative ideas man. After 3 days of knowing him, he appointed himself my personal mentor in life. I agreed, not being able to say "no thank you, but my personal mentor is Oprah". It works out well because he loves to teach (and does offer good guidance), by imparting knowledge and skill on those with less experience than him, namely Asami and I.

When I first met Lionel, I was a bit wary of trusting him. He possesses a very intense aura and can come across as overbearing. This changed when Lionel and I realised that our personalities resulted in a great working relationship. I lack focus and direction and have a really short attention span while Lionel likes to educate someone like me, because I listen to him. Don’t tell him this though, but that statement is not entirely true. I once made the choice to eat popcorn instead of talking to him on the phone. Since Lionel has no patience for inefficiency, he likes that I learn very quickly. He helps to inspire me and is a reason why I wanted to be involved with The Limelight Hour team.

Although he might not admit it, using my superhero powers of observation, I sense that Lionel is currently in search of ‘The One'. He enjoys music, cuddling, the moonlight, and romantic candlelight dinners. He can offer you love and a big package he's a good package. No, but seriously, if you think you can handle a guy like this, please leave a comment! ;p
