"Humans are like popcorn"

About Me

I'm quirky and creative I like to think anyhow. Please vote for me on bethemoviestar.com I have made the final 25 guys. 10 get to go to London. I act, write films, music, poetry and I like cricket. I am also at teachers college.

My Interests

Music, Film, Poetry, Cricket

I'd like to meet:

Creative and fun people. Quirky People. Out there people. And normal people whatever that means. Pretty much anyone really. This guy:

Music:

My music has been compared to Billy Bragg, Oasis, Syd Barret, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Violent Femmes, Cat Stevens, Eddie Vedder, Bob Dylan, Chris Knox, Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen and David Bowie. Some of these people I had never heard of. I listened to a lot ot Roxette and despite getting a lot of flack for it I think they are a great band with great hooks. My music isn;t really much like theirs though although i have written a few love songs. I really like Per Gessle's solo stuff - "The World According To Gessle". I also like a lot of Britpop bands like The Seahorses and Radiohead and Oasis and The Verve and Coldplay. Also like Elvis Costello, The Beatles and Lennon, and a number of other bands. To be honest I have pretty ecclectic music tastes. I'm into a lot of things. Oh Live is awesome too. And Counting Crows. U2, REM, Goldenhorse, Crowded House, Supergroove. Travis. The Cranberries. And I like the whine of Alanis. Banshee Reel. The Eagles. U2 - just went to their concert. Awesome.

Movies:

One of my favourite movies is Groundhog Day. It still sticks in my mind. "First steps a doosy". There is a a great movie called "As It Is In Heaven". I am a bit of a romantic at heart. I like "Serendipity" too and "LA Story". "High Fidelity" is a great movie. "Napolean Dynamite" and "Nacho Libre". "Love Actually". And I was in King Kong. Hey I like most movies I see though. "Butterfly Effect" was pretty interesting too. Baz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliet and of course "The Princess Bride". Borat is hilarious.

Television:

I like Lost, Heroes, Prisonbreak, Shortland Street.

Books:

Don't read much, but enjoy Harry Potter and the Harry Potter movies. Also I like The Thunder series by a guy called MSI for their mysticism. Oh and "Adventures of A Reluctant Messiah" by Richard Bach and "The Path of The Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman. Call me cheesey if you like.

Heroes:

I don't really idolise people. My great Aunty is a hero cos she is such a lovely humble person and always lovely to be around. My Nana also cos she made it to a hundred.
