I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm Laura, I work for BUPA International and I live near Brighton. Worked at BUPA for about 10 months now and I'm absolutely loving it. Just started doing an English Literature A-Level from ICS, aaand that's about it.

My Interests

Big fan of Arsenal football club, love my music, love drumming, but sadly had to sell my drum kit a few years ago, so if anyone wants to buy me one... You know, I'd be happy to accept.

I'd like to meet:

Meh.

Music:

Love ska, punk, indie, rock, reggae... Lots. Currently love Jack Penate, Arctic Monkeys, Sublime (as always) and lots of random punk and ska bands no one will have heard of.

Movies:

Haven't been to the cinema in years (yuck) but aside from the classics (Dirty Dancing, Ghost et al), I can't really pinpoint particular films... I usually like films that make me laugh.

Television:

Family Guy, Soccer AM, Peep Show, The Simpsons, Mock The Week, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Room 101, HIGNFY and Jeff Stelling's (LEGEND!) Soccer Saturday.

Books:

Junk by Melvin Burgess, Bloomability by Sharon Creech, Bridget Jones' Diary 1&2, Love Lessons by Andrew Miller, The Shopaholic Series, Alphabet Weekends, Don't Ever Tell by Kathy O'Beirne, I Love Capri by Belinda Jones, We Are Family and Love Lives by Emlyn Rees and Josie Lloyd.

my high-point of the day

High-point of my day? Seeing a fully-grown man with really long hair frolicking in a fountain on the Old Steine in Brighton like a kid. Bless.
