I'm always listening to music, reading, travelling, hanging out with friends, going to the cinema, working out, cooking, drawing, photography, singing, making stuff out of glass, attempting to play guitar, shopping, eating, trying new things, laughing, going to gigs, walking. I cant live without seeing my friends and mum and dad at least once a week, and i cant get through a day without good music.
I'd like to meet:
People that will expand my mind and understanding, people that make me laugh, people that share my faith. I would love to meet the rest of Alexis, the Gaslight anthem, the Dresden Dolls, Tegan and Sara Quin, Audrey Neffennegger, Rene Lalique, Alphonse Mucha, Gaudi, all people that really inspire me. And I never get sick of meeting Against Me! Best band ever, next to Alexisonfire, obviously.

Movies:
too many to list; anything by the coen brothers, anything 80's, anything that makes me think or laugh.
Television:
First and foremost, its always about The Young Ones, I don't care how 80's and dated it is, it never stops making me laugh. I don't know whats happened to me but i suddenly find the mighty boosh really unfunny.

Books:
At the moment I am reading 'Cat's Cradle' by Kurt Vonnegut. My favourite books are 'The Timetraveller's Wife' by Audrey Neffennegger, 'Stardust' by Neil Gaiman, anything by Leibniz, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Plato, Aristotle, Freud, Irvin Yalom, Rollo May and anything about person-centered or existential counselling is always interesting to me. Other books that have particularly touched me are; 'Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance', 'the unbearable lightness of being', 'Vernon God Little', 'the catcher in the rye', 'cloud atlas', 'sophie's world', 'the neverending story' and 'the princess bride'. I love everything by; Neil Gaiman, Anne Rice, Terry Pratchett, Bill Bryson, Kurt Vonnegut, Philip Pullman, Garth Nix, David Eddings, and Paulo Cohelo. I like reading comics too; tank girl, neil gaiman, any sandman spin offs, star wars, and superman.
Heroes:
Jesus, my parents, my friends, bands that I love, artists that I love, random people I meet that have faced unbelievable things and come out the other side of them, and people that aren't afraid to be what they are no matter what, people that don't seel out and always stand up for what they believe is right, its rare and precious.
