The Fay Wrays!! The Queens of Noize!! and The Refuseniks!! Fun fun! Want to know more about me?Send me a message!Finally i shall tell you one more thing, that is this:THE METRO RIOTS RULE!!!!! If you haven't added them by now then you're a fool...and you're no friend of mine! www.myspace.co/metroriots MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

Cool is freedom of expression Go ahead and wear your heart on your sleeve. Say it, sing it, use a pen, a typewriter, paint a picture, make a movie. The world is your canvas; and look, it's an enormous canvas. Freedom of expression goes from the top of your head all the way to your choice of words, your choice of style. Coolness is what you do with it.

I'd like to meet:

sooooooo many people. I want to meet: everyone, but more specifically: People who share my taste in music, actually...no....cause debating about bands is always good, so people who have interest in music, films...I'd like to say books but come to think about it i never actually sit down and read books, the few i have read and enjoyed are in that book section down the page....somewhere. Um...yea anyone really! Myself in 10 years time (just for a look) and YOU! Ignore all that, I've just watched this, now i want to meet Bob Dylan ..
