About Me

"In a town of twelve women there was a thirteenth. No one admitted she lived there, no mail came for her, no one spoke of her, no one asked after her, no one sold bread to her, no one bought anything from her, no one returned her glance, no one knocked on her door; the rain did not fall on her, the sun never shone on her, the day never dawned on her, the night never fell for her; for her the weeks did not pass, the years did not roll by; her house was unnumbered, her garden untended, her path not trod upon, her bed not slept in,her food not eaten, her clothes not worn; and yet in spite of all this she continued to live in the town without resenting what it did to her."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I’ve met a few bands, no one particularly major though.
Idiot Pilot: I was pretty drunk when I met these guys. I just sort of ended up on stage with them. Got some amazing photos even though I was drunk and using a disposable camera…
The Academy Is…: We sat in a pub drinking wine watching the boys eat steak before their gig. Bizarre. I kissed William Beckett and showed him my passport. In retrospect I wish I’d offered to show him my nipple piercing.
Bring Me The Horizon: Contrary to what everyone says, these boys were actually really nice, a bit shy if anything. Their support band, on the other hand, were the rudest people I have ever met.
Pen Knife Love Life: They had nice accents, but they were a bit sweaty…
Maximo Park: Amazing, gorgeous and lovely voices. Paul Smith gave me a kiss. Hot Stuff.
Messengers: Beautiful boys inside and out! Ahaaa!
Look See Proof: They seemed sweet and loved that megaphone! Not sure I'm looking forward to seeing myself in that video though.
