Howdi kids... I'm a 26 year old wannabe writer from a cute and sunny little island off the south coast of England. Kinda felt like the only person left on the PLANET not to be on MySpace, so what could I do but succumb to the hype.....

MUSIC. Fashion. Writing. COMEDY. Travelling to far off lands. Film... Sitting in the warm English summer sun listening to my favourite tracks and flicking through old fashion magazines.. Going to pub quizzes with my beautiful friends and laughing so much by the end of the night my cheeks actually HURT me... Being a water baby and trying to get down to the beach as much as possible... Live bands/ Festival season ... Dancing in the (bad) clubs we have down here to tracks so hot they make my knees go weak... Drawing/Painting/Design.. Trying to make people laugh and sometimes, if I'm lucky, succeeding :D My dream is to become a comedy writer, Julia Davis style, and become drinking buddies with her, Simon Pegg and Steve Coogan hehe!

Three things that scare me:
1: Wasps
2: Serial killers
3: Myleene Klass. She is on EVERY programme in the entire world, and must be stopped.
Three people who make me laugh:
1: Ricky Gervais' little buddy, Karl Pilkington, who has a head shaped like a tiny pea, and whos podcasts make me cry with laughter!
2: The Dom/Kirsty/Amy combination - You guys! Shucks! You should be on the stage. Even though you already are, what with working at the theatre and all.
3: Heather C. One of the people in my life who I can't stop laughing with.
Three Things I love:
1: Lately, my homeboys and I have been watching back-to-back Prison Break when we get a spare evening, and it ROCKS!
2: Joni Mitchell's 'Blue'
3: Walking in the rain..
Three Things I hate:
1: Pretentious teenagers i.e Peaches Geldof. Go Away! Please, just stop being everywhere!
2: Eamonn Holmes. Euggh. Kindly just.. I don't know..move to Zimbabwe or something.
3: Having to crack eggs into a bowl.. (in case a chick accidentally comes out, obviously..)
Three things I don't understand:
1: Why I'm so hard on myself sometimes..
2: Why Eamonn Holmes is allowed on television when he's, so obviously, a huge plank.
3: Maths, and all maths-related things that go beyond C grade GCSE.. Some brains just don't work that way..Sob..
Three things on my desk:
1: Sour Haribo sweets, in the shape of crocodiles and cherries.
2: A pile of music & fashion mags going back to the mid '90's that I just can't bear to throw out 'Just incase I ever need an article about Elastica'.
3: Several ancient cassettes I found as I delved into a box in the attic. Include Right Said Fred's debut album, Chaka Demus & Pliers & Shakespeare's Sister, basically all the classics. This girl had taste back in the day..
Three things I'm doing right now:
1: Sucking on sour cherry sweets, finding the whole experience enjoyable and unpleasant in equal amounts.
2: Wondering if I should go travelling again, where to, if should move to the Big Smoke of London, or stay here for a little while longer..
3: Buying a cute punky vest online. It has a unicorn on it. Rock on. Yeah.
Three things I want to do before I die:
1: Is it wrong that after seeing the disturbing film Wolf Creek, I now want to drive through central Australia, exploring the one-horse towns, and generally getting up to Antipodean mischief ?
2: I wanna run a marathon! But I want to do it with graceful ease, and not nearly die or anything. Maybe if I start training now.....
3: I want to make a living out of what i truly want to do. Surely being paid to do what you love most must be everyone's dream...
Three things I can do:
1: I can walk in very high heels, and not feel any pain or discomfort.. A wonderful talent, non?!
2: Irish dancing! Okay, so I was about nine at the time, but I won medals and stuff! I'd like to do it again, but I think that would be a bit weird, just randomly doing it in Shanklin high street...
3: I can make really gorgeous stawberry pavlovas! Seriously, people keep sneaking to the fridge and nicking a piece when they think no-one's looking..
Three ways to describe my personality:
1: Secretive
2: Passionate
3: Understanding
Three things I can't do:
1: I can't take the band 'Keane' seriously. The singer has the head of a child on the body of a tall, tall man. It's just not right.
2: I can't accept compliments. I just say 'Shut up..' every time and start talking about Richard & Judy or something instead.
3: .I can't control my laugh. I don't know what's happened to it, it's gone really weird, it sounds like an opera singer doing scales. I think I copied it off my sister...
