I am he, as you are he, as you are me and we are all together

About Me

..Hey- I'm Ellie. I'm 18 and live in Derbyshire, England with my mum and two brothers- Nathan [when he's back from uni] and Ben. I miss my dad living with us- but there you go- I see him as often as possible.I'm studying English Lit, History and Theatre Studies in 6th Form... however, my real love is writing and I want to be a writer someday. That's the dream anyway. Everyone wants me to go to uni, but I'm not so sure...I have a serious obsession with music- especially The Beatles and Oasis- the two best bands in the world! Also enjoy being with friends [especially my girlies- Colette, Kirst, Becca and Kate!], films, TV, drama, performing, having a drink or three with my mates... I hate 'following the crowd' though- I think everyone should be themselves- I once got an email from Yoko Ono [ooh, get me!] and she said that when we are ourselves we're interesting anyway. I think that's very true!Love going and exploring cities- Liverpool is great- a lot of 'Beatley' things to do there! Also enjoy going to see my older brother Nathan in Newcastle.Also, I'm a massive fan of Derby County- COME ON YOU RAMS!! So I can usually be found cheering them on at Pride Park... or not as the case may be!It gets a bit tedious writing 'About Me' columns so if you want to know anything else add me... I'm usually up for a chat and a laugh about anything and everything... especially music! xx

My Interests

Drama, singing, performing, dancing, MUSIC, watching shows, going to gigs, being with friends, reading, writing, films, TV, supporting Derby County... haven't I said this already?!

I'd like to meet:

There are a few people I would love to meet, but in particular- The Beatles [I know- unfortantly that may be a bit difficult!] Noel and Liam Gallagher, Ant and ..he cast of Lord of the Rings!... But otherwise, I would love to meet some people who have similar interests, are friendly and have a passion for music!
adopt your own virtual pet!

Music:

My favourite band ever are The Beatles! I am a Beatles expert [no- that is NOT sad!] I absolutely adore them! Dunno where I'd be without them. I also love Oasis! I think Noel Gallagher is up there with Lennon/McCartney. Oasis are fantastic... and Liam is the best frontman ever! Legends! I mean, come on- you CAN'T get better than Oasis! I love going to see bands live. I love going to see The Bootleg Beatles- they're amazing- really incredible! Just like watching the real thing- every Beatles fan should go and see them! I'm also really hoping Oasis go on tour soon... but I went to the Manchester vs Cancer gig at the MEN ON 30th March- it was an amazing gig- highlights were deff Paul Weller and Ian Brown and of course Noel Gallagher who did an INCREDIBLE set and easily stole the show. Honestly, one of the best nights of my life! I'm looking forward to Liverpool 08 at Anfield when I can finally see Macca! That will be incredible! Also like other bands and artists such as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr [them four are obvious really aren't they?!]Stereophonics,T-Rex,Travis,The Verve, Richard Ashcroft,Rolling Stones,The Sex Pistols,Simon and Garfunkel,The Smiths,The Monkees,Kasabian, The Kinks,Julian Lennon,The Jam,Paul Weller,Stone Roses,Primal Scream,Ian Brown,Elvis Presley,The Libertines,Dirty Pretty Things,David Bowie,Coldplay,Bob Dylan,Love,Ocean Colour Scene,Pulp,The Charlatans, The Rat Pack, Amy Winehouse,Ben Mills,Buddy Holly,The Big Bopper,Billy Joel,Blues Brothers,The Byrds,The Corrs,ELO,Elton John,Gerry and the Pacemakers,Gomez,Jack Johnson,Joe Jackson,Journey South,Kasier Chiefs,The Kooks,Leon Jackson,Lighthouse Family,Take That,Meatloaf,Michael Jackson,Nirvana,Queen,Snow Patrol,U2,The Who and some musicals too! [Yes, really!] but I love The Beatles and Oasis the most- the two greatest bands ever in my opinion! [Hear I go again...] Just can't stand crap with people miming to backing tracks- I mean, who the hell are the likes of Westlife and Girls Aloud?! THAT'S NOT MUSIC!! That's, "Let's make a bit more money by releasing yet another cover version, filming a cheesy video with a hell of a lot of wind machines and then miming whilst perched on bar stools on Blue Peter..." Not good people! I don't think I could live without music-If you don't like music you'd find my life pretty boring... so don't bother adding me if you don't!

The Lord of the Rings, Green Street,This is England,A Hard Days Night,Help!,Magical Mystery Tour,Yellow Submarine,Let it Be,Imagine,US vs John Lennon,Backbeat,Hours and the Times,Two of Us,The Rutles,Across the Universe,Head,Daydream Believers,Lord don't slow me down,This is Spinal Tap,Trainspotting,Star Wars, The Simpsons Movie, The Lion King,The Road to El Dorado, Free Willy, Shrek, Ice Age, Fly Away Home, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, A Bugs Life, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Of Mice and Men, Back to the Future, Cool Runnings, Apollo 13, Elf, The Truman Show, Ghostbusters, School of Rock, Spiderman, Zoolander,Forrest Gump,The Producers,Harry Potter, The Outsiders,Rent,Casino Royale,Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers,Brady Bunch Movie,13 Going on 30,Brothers Grimm,Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, A Knights Tale,Liar Liar,Along came Polly,Pirates of the Caribbean, Stand by me, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Juno, Starsky and Hutch, Blues Brothers, Rain Man, Hair, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Run Fat Boy Run, Monty Python films,Airplane!, Moulin Rouge, Ghost, Dirty Dancing,The Commitments, The Royal Tenenbaums,Brokeback Mountain,Anchorman, There's something about Mary, Stuck on You, Breakfast Club, Fame...too many to show them all here!

Also love Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, I'm a Celeb, Britain's Got Talent and basically anything with Ant and Dec in it- I absolutley love Ant and ..hey're the best!

Books:

Don't really know... as I want to be a writer I try to read anything I can lay my hands on... some faves I suppose would be 'The Lord of the Rings' 'Trainspotting','Of Mice and Men', 'The Outsiders', 'Harry Potter', 'The Kite Runner', 'Noughts and Crosses trilogy,'In the Absence of Angels','Othello','We need to talk about Kevin' 'Great Expectations' 'The Catcher in the Rye' 'The Shell Seekers', 'In His own write' and loads of music books- mostly Beatles and Oasis ones such as 'The Beatles Anthology' book and 'Brothers' by Paul Gallagher.

Heroes:

We're all heroes y'know... but my personal ones would be [Lets not make this too sappy!]: The 4 best friends that I never met- John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr- Thank you for teaching me more than anybody else could- what can I say? You changed my life- I love you! Noel and Liam Gallagher- you legends! Thanks for the music, I love ya lots! Ant and Dec- loved you since I was a kid, I don't care what people say- I love ya! You make me laugh when I feel like crying :) All my close friends [you know who you are] especially Kirst, Colette, Becca and Kate- I don't know what I'm going to do when we all go off to different uni's and stuff- but you're my mates for life [You can't get rid of me that easily!] Most importantly of all- Mum, you're incredible and Nat and Rodders-aka Nathan and Ben- the best [and weirdest] brothers in the world! Love ya loads! xx And despite everything- my dad x [Too sappy? Ah well!]
