I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet interesting people who will make a distinct impression with me. People who have depth and are passionate about things that effect their lives. I often find that it is these kinds of people who make the biggest impact on your life and sustain themselves as your greatest friends. Id also like to meet people who have a great talent for humour as I love to laugh and smile! This is one of my favourite songs on 'Songs For The Deaf' and I love this music video in particular! Check out the flying sperm at the end!!! LOL!

Music:

My favourite bands are QOTSA and Foo Fighters, but despite the rock profile, I'm very much a idie girl. I'm very sceptical of talentless popsters who come from this Simon Cowell manufactured cash cow but I have to give that arena its dues because it sometimes produces addictive set pieces which are for a short period of time, unforgettable!

Beatbox Fame Game
Uploaded by loranger Beat that Delia Smith! You'll add never tuna or salmon to any recipe ever again under his direction! Plus he looks fabulous in that wig don't you think? Beat boxing at its most wonderful and most extreme!

Movies:

I love anything with a clever script and gets me thinking their concepts for days and films that have been adapted from novels. I'm also a sucker for romantic films and any old school black and white film. But if I was to pin point my greatest films of all time it would be: Casablanca, American Beauty, Thelma and Louise, Breakfast At Tiffany's and Only You. Also developed an obsession with the Princess Bride!

Television:

I dont watch a lot of television, but when I do its usually Desperate Housewives, Friends, Shameless, Sex in the City, Ally McBeal, the odd snatchings of Eastenders and the Mighty Boosh! Lately my boyf and his mates have co-erced me into watching 'Heroes' and I have to say that its excellent!!! Everyone should watch it! Oooh I'm a cockney nut job I'm like connect four in dagger terms! Magic times Obsidion Black-bird McKnight! Timeless!

Books:

Well seeing as though Im an English Literature graduate this category is a tough one...there are not many books that I have that I haven't enjoyed. Its the same principle that I adopt for films...something clever and inspiring and insightful. But if I had to choose a few that I have found to be as such it would be: Grapes of Wrath, Pride and Prejudice,Lord of the Rings, Lady Oracle and Fantastic Mr Fox!

Heroes:

I really admire my parents. They have been through so much change and adversity and they never cease to amaze in the way they always rise from seemingly hopeless scenarios. I have learned not to be afraid of a change and of a challenge. I also admire strong women figures like my friend Steph. The number of times she's given me metaphorical and literal sort-yourself-out slaps is enumerable. I have her to thank for my career direction and admire her own tenacity and determination in the pursuit of her own dreams and goals.
