You tend not to talk much and prefer to let others control the activities of groups. You tend not to express your emotions openly and are sometimes not even aware of your own feelings. You do not like to claim that you are better than other people, and generally shy from talking yourself up, however you believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary.

Often you will keep lists and make plans.

I'm single and hurtling towards the big 4-0. Never mind, being single is my choice so not asking for sympathy! Enjoy music, mostly the RHCP who I saw in July 06 at Manchester MEN and they were fantastic. But since I discovered the Mexicolas in August 06 I've pretty much been following their progress pretty keenly!! I could talk about them for hours but I notice people's eyes glaze over so tend to ration myself! Don't really like talking about myself so if you need to know more it would be better to just send me a message!LISTEN AND BUY THE HEATHERS TRACKS... ONLY 79p EACH!!

My Interests

I'M LOVING THE MEXICOLAS AT THE MOMENT!! LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC...
VIDEO FOR COME CLEANVIDEO FOR SHAMEMy biggest love is music, but I also love dancing as I used to be a ballet dancer and ballroom dancer as a child - mind you I don't think I'll be on Strictly Come Dancing anytime soon! I'm not an artistic person as I seem to lack imagination, but I do appreciate a good picture or ornament! I also like reading a good book and meeting up with friends for a drink and chat (although I've stopped reading whilst with the friends as I realised how rude it was)

I'd like to meet:

Being a RHCP fan I read Scar Tissue so that made me intrigued about Anthony as a person as well as a musician. Meeting him would be good but that's just fantasy! I almost met Derren Brown when he did a show in my home town, but unfortunately was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I also have a few friends that have become successful on TV but don't like to name-drop. But getting back to reality - I just want to meet people with the same interests as me, who can have a laugh and joke and generally talk about similar things. Music is a big part of my life so anyone who can bring new sounds into my life are always welcome!WATCH THIS... I ONLY DISCOVERED IT WHEN I VISITED A FRIENDS PROFILE... IT'S CALLED BREATHE ME BY SIA, AND I THINK ITS A BEAUTIFUL SONG....ME AND MY FRIENDS.... ..

Music:

CHANNEL 4 DOCUMENTARY FILMED IN 2006 AT THE MEXICOLAS WAREHOUSE IN DIGBETH. FANTASTIC MUSIC AND VERY FUNNY TO WATCH...TIMES INFINITY RECORDED IN 2006My favourite band at the moment are the Mexicolas(who I only discovered in August 06 but what a find!!!) However, I absolutely love the Red Hot Chili Peppers and I have been a fan of theirs for the past 12 years and I've also loved U2 for the past 22 years. I do like other music though such as Madonna, Kylie, Jason Mraz, Linkin Park, Nitin Sawhney, Duran Duran, Bjork, A-ha, INXS, Simple Minds, Kelly Clarkson, Richard Ashcroft, Blondie, Scissor Sisters, Coldplay, Radiohead and some of the dancey stuff about so as you can see I like most stuff really. Also open to new music such as The Heathers (check out their MySpace profile), so come on everyone - hit me with your rhythm sticks!!!

Movies:

Gotta be Goodfellas and Shawshank Redemption. I love films that take you on a journey. Do like my chick flicks too like Dirty Dancing, Grease, etc.

Television:

I do watch the box but my life does not revolve around it - so I won't be too devastated if I miss anything. Mind you, I do love Desperate Housewives, ER and just got into Ugly Betty. Also borrowed the first series of Prison Break and found it absolutely brilliant! The main character (played by Wentworth Miller) may have helped in keeping me glued to the screen though!! LOOK AT HIM..........

Books:

I love Marian Keyes and Paulinna Simons. But also love reading biographies and stuff about Japanese and Chinese culture as the way of life is so far removed from the Western world. I'm also interested in books about murderers (erm I'm not a sicko by the way) as I am so intrigued with what drives people to do such things. Oh and I also love James Patterson and his Alex Cross books.
