I'm always looking, but I'm never quite sure what I'm looking for...
not perving over japanese schoolboys no, cos i would never do that..., creating gossip and scandal every time i leave my house, shaping impressionable young minds, watching films where plain girls turn into beautiful princesses, coveting shoes, eating cheeses that can't be described, taking photographs, wishing i were more interesting and beautiful, and avoiding all responsibility and challenges in my life.
- people who like shoes and cheese and puns and music and being stupid and shiny things and getting drunk and dancing badly and singing and playing monopoly and wiggling and all kinds of wonderful things.
The boy with the sweet tooth:
...and anyone who wants to say nice things about my photos :)

and about a million others that i don't have space for.
i mostly live for music. music and shoes.
teen movies, ugly-duckling to swan movies, films with more style than substance, films with so much substance they make my head hurt, period dramas and anything with johnny depp or lindsay lohan. my favourite directors are Lars von Trier, Darren Aronofsky, Tim Burton and Takashi Miike. i have a very confusing dvd collection.
i like my telly :)
uk: green wing, peep show, spaced, mighty boosh, darkplace, i am not an animal, black books, never mind the buzzcocks and any bbc period adaptation as long as they don't massacre it with "edgy" camera angles and sound effects.
us: buffy, angel, lost, bones, scrubs, project runway, daria, my name is earl, veronica mars, futurama and family guy. ugly betty and studio sixty are both turning out to be quite good this season.
japan: death note, downtown, waterboys, and that show with the guy from SMAP. also any doramas that are aimed at highschool kids, cos I can actually understand them!
rebecca and the time traveller's wife are my favourite books.murakami haruki and douglas coupland are probably my favourite authors.if you catch me at a weak moment you might find me feverishly pawing through some chick-lit. or harry potter.
and whoever invented torrents. really, i owe you my sanity.
