About Me

I'm nobody interesting! No, I should be selling myself here, you've taken the time to look at my profile - possibly to find out who I am - do stay and have a gander! I have tried to make my profile page and such as entertaining/interesting/enlightening as possible. I'm doing a Television Ops course at Aberdeen College and am currently deep in the midst of making a 10 minute 'drama'. I say 'drama' because it's not very dramatic but I think it's very easy when tackling drama to cross over into melodrama. Not good. I have been part of many projects now and below you can find my first writer/director/editor effort 'Serious Fun'. You can also find information on it on my fake IMDb page in my blog: MPIMDb Serious Fun or something like that. You know, if you're really interested or really bored. Also, I totally recommend checking out 'Hulk Up With Hamish' on Youtube. I did that camera work for that but have pushed it off my page in favour of my own work! I like films a lot and see pretty much every major release whether I think I'll like it or not. Well kudos for getting this far if you're still reading - I do go on a bit when I'm writing, which is bizarre because ask most people who know me what I'm like I'll guarantee you the first thing most of them will say is: 'She's very quiet.' Thanks for visiting my profile! xx

My Interests

Films...oh that's a category later on, um, writing? Reading. Philisophical debate on the lower level, for instance how do dolphins sleep (the answer is quite interesting) and does it freak you out that cats are cats? That's not philisophical, it's just a question. What is philisophical? If the world is a figment of my imagination, why would I imagine football (which bores me) and why wouldn't I have given myself more money and so on? Ergo, the world is definitely not my doing! That sort of stuff. I have a sort of inherited interest in horses but it's such an expensive interest it hardly ever gets indulged. Big fan of comedy. You can't get too much laughter and humour is the fastest way to my heart!

I'd like to meet:

I've never thought about who I'd like to meet. Any major films fans is good because that's pretty much all I can talk about. And anyone who wants to meet me! All the actors and so on that I admire and what not I think I'd rather not meet because I'd hate for my illusions to be shattered. I'm sure they're mostly lovely but I'm also sure some of them aren't! :) Fantastically, though, Flixster has allowed me to make a wall of my favourite actors so here they are!

Make Your Actor Wall Flixster .

Music:

Snow Patrol, The Fratellis, Franz Ferdinand, Placebo, Frou Frou, The Zutons, Muse, Nina Simone, The Feeling, Ludivico Einaudi, Vanessa Mae, Supertramp, Aimee Mann, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash I'll admit it - BRITNEY SPEARS! Kelly Clarkson. Is that bad? Really? I prefer soundtracks to films, original scores that is. I don't really get the whole music scene I'm not a music person! I love soundtracks though and quite a lot of classical music. In terms of other stuff, though, if it's good to sing a long to, I'll like it. That, or, it's very moody, depressing music (it's not depressing to me but that's how I've heard other people describe my taste in music...that and crap, lol!)

Movies:

Are you ready for this?

Television:

Nip/Tuck, Scrubs, Desperate Housewives, Kath + Kim, Simpsons, Futurama, Malcolm in the Middle, Boston Legal, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, Spaced, The Book Group, Peep Show, My Name is Earl, South Park, Mighty Boosh

Books:

The Great Gatsby, The Eyre Affair (and the rest of the Thursday Next series), Jane Eyre (The Eyre Affair made more sense after I read that), The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, A Widow for One Year, A Prayer for Owen Meany, The Time Traveller's Wife, The Talented Mr. Ripley, any Julian Barnes or John Irving book, Seabiscuit, Starter For Ten, A Scanner Darkly and Lord of the Rings.

Heroes:

My cat, Tigerlily who I've had for years and years and named after Princess Tigerlily in Peter Pan! Kermit the Frog and all the Muppets really, especially Gonzo.In terms of superheroes Spidey's always had my vote but after seeing Superman Returns I realise it's best to be behind him because, well, no one's better than Superman! What do you mean that's not what 'Heroes' meant?

Tales of a TV Student Weeks 33 and 34

No I haven't changed course, just decided that 'media student' is a bit misleading.  I realised this after I had to record a voice over this week and was taken into the college's radio studio and...
