i don't have any real friends

About Me

late as always to this website. i've got a profile (you're already here - you know that). but i've got no friends. i'll be anyone's friend.things i like doing include playing tennis watching TV watching films eating drinking. i'm the living embodiment of a smiths song. "there's a club and you want to go, to meet someone who really loves you - so you go and you stand on your own and you leave on your own and you go home and you cry and you want to die." if you've read this far then you've probably fallen asleep with your finger on the mouse button, wake up NOW.please don't send me pedantic messages dissing my spelling: people who correct my diction, intonation, spelling, punctuation and use of the English language really annoy me. see - i've even put in a captial letter just to appease the linguists out there.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

preferably people, but i'll consider extending the hand of friendships to intelligent members of other species with myspace profiles.

Music:

i'd go to gigs if i had someone to go with - anywhere on the cowley road, cellar, jericho tavern or wheatsheaf will do, upstairs at the city tavern, port mahon, the ex. if you ever go to see a local band that no-one else has ever heard of invite me along - i'd probably like it.i like bands with guitars, drums and bass guitarists. i don't like dj anyone. i can't dance - i tend to look like an escaped mental patient on a day trip . . .

Movies:

my dvd collection includes: donnie darko, gladiator, lord of the rings (x3), kill bill 1

Television:

my dvd boxset collection includes: scrubs series 1, black adder goes forth, teachers series 1, office series 1

Books:

flann o'brien, christopher brockmyre, toby litt, jasper fforde, ssssssshhhhhhhhakespeare, martin amis, joseph conrad. any kind of who dunnit. last good book read was a norwegian thriller called 'the devil's star' by jo nesbo (i read the translation).

Heroes:

i want to play tennis like a williams sister, play guitar like jimi hendrix, write a lyric like morrissey, play drums like meg white, have the attitude of noel, have the body of halle berry and the looks of beyonce (that should be the other way around!), be as cool as beck, direct a movie like tarantino, write like Jasper Fforde, have the va-va-voom of thierry henry, have the imagination of flann o'brien, be as funny as sara cox and have the shopping savvy of a WAG. unfortunately I'm just chrissie.
