i think only stupid people have good relationships.

About Me


"i'd rather be hated for what i am, than loved for what i am not"

I'm really not the sort of girl who can be described in a paragraph - I'm likely to spark your interest, but it takes time to understand me. I'm an illustrator and aspiring tattooist. I'm also writing a graphic novel and I do a fair bit of design work for bands. Absolute fucking stereotypical Aquarian. Horoscopes freak me out. Complete geek in every meaning of the word. I don't believe in doing things in half measures. I don't like routine or regularity, but I like making lists. One day I will travel the world and taste the air in every big city, to find somewhere my soul can settle. I think I'm destined to always call London my home though. I could talk your ear off for hours about subjects that I feel strongly about - the tattoo industry, comics, music, art, gaming and film are generally my forte. I probably act about 10 years older than I should, although I've always been this way. I have a love/hate relationship with myspace, conversations are better in person.
The stars are aligned, but they don't align for us
Excuse me for I am the ocean, and I will starve for you
Will you know how to stay brave?
Such fragile moments we share
You are my everything
Even with nothing to say

Likes art, creating things, writing, exploring the english language, tattoos, the teeth-gritting but strangely therapeutic sensation of being tattooed, playing 'silly buggers' - even if I always suffer injury, seeking inspiration, sex - not purely physical but also the sensation of being so directly intimate with someone, music, gaming, xbox 360, the premise of xbox live when we finally buy a wireless adapter, seeing old people in the street holding hands, long journeys accompanied by good tunes, having the motiviation to pick up my guitar, going to gigs, good conversation, salvador dali quotes, make up and hair, graphic novels, 50s diners, polaroids, being referred to as a 'human dictionary', reminiscing, lying in someone's arms and being perfectly content with doing nothing, real curves, basques & suspenders, creativity, being a general 'g' at guitar hero, walking the streets of London not having a clue where my feet are leading me but always making it where I want to go, trying to take a photograph every day, losing a grip on reality if only for five minutes, tgi fridays, the air after its rained, mini coopers, seeing old friends and making new ones, nights in, nights out, geeking out about Lost, jagermeister and red bull, cinematic experiences, keeping paper journals and scrapbooks, interior design, eclectic fashion
Dislikes being way too emotional, my terrible timekeeping, art blocks, people who insist on reading their paper standing up on a packed train in rush hour..., running out of something, laughing when i'm panicking, paying bills, 'myspace names' and others referring to these idiots as their psuedonyms in real life, food shopping, false promises, BAD GRAMMAR!!, people who have their nudes on the internet thinking that it makes them SO MUCH better than you... errr..., scene queens, name droppers, cheaters, liars, immaturity, idiocracy, people who 'don't read' and think its cool, idle threats, violence, red meat, washing up, 90% of the female population, overpriced drinks in london gig venues, money and how it rules everything, not having enough time in the day, the 9-to-5 and how it governs my life, lack of inspiration and creativity, when people tell me that I "won't like my tattoos when I'm older", depression, loneliness, getting up early in the mornings, having to go to bed before midnight, having a shit immune system, and whinging about all of this.

I'd like to meet:

verity: This doll is my art twin and it was amazing to have finally met her. She's the sweetest girl ever, especially when she puts up with my insane ramblings over MSN! I love getting things from her in the post. She's such a sweetheart and I wish I had more time to make presents for her; we will always have Hard Rock, Strawberry Daiquiris and that scary Mick Jagger puppet from Spitting Image to giggle over! love you sweetie.
♥ everyone else who has made me who i am today, good or bad, I owe it to you. ♥
