I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I want to be a writer tv/film/fiction and a musician but there's no escaping the fact that I'm a terminal hypochondriac and am convinced I'm going to die next week, until somebody tells me I'm ok. I like going to gigs and playing gigs. I'd like to work in a job that isn't admin. I'd like to make the world a better place, just not in the same style as Michael Jackson.

My Interests

Snowboarding, Anything involving snow - the cold stuff. DIY music scene. I'm fascinated by groupies but certainly not interested.

I'd like to meet:

Debbie Harry, Zach Braff, and Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips.

adopt your own virtual pet!

Music:

Can you feel the funk Howard? Err, way too extensive and varied to list here (all together now "cop out!") but I generally have a finger in every genre pie and every genre pie inbetween genre pies. Anything that rocks and some things that don't - except The Strokes, *shudder* they just claim to rock. Blondie ROCK.

Movies:

The Constant Gardener, Secretary, All About My Mother, The Life Aquatic, Adaptation, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Clockwork Orange, Ghostbusters, The Graduate, Rushmore, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Garden State, Y Tu Mama Tambien, The Wedding Singer, The Vanishing (the original version), Profondo Rosso, Dead Man's Shoes, This is England (Shane Meadows, Midlands hero!), Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Zombie Flesh Eaters, The Evil Dead (I could be here all day!) Anything starring Jack Black and/or zombies. Richard Curtis should be thrown to a hoard of zombies.

Television:

The Mighty Boosh, Peep Show, Scrubs - most inane surreal comedy... I also like a good mystery, thrillers - Wire In the Blood, Rebus, McCallum (John Hannah is the best!) - oh and diagnosis Murder when I'm not working - although it is about as thrilling as a tank of guppies.

Books:

Thrillers and anything you require at least half a brain to read. Naughty girly stuff. ..

Heroes:

Cissy. Debbie Harry. Jimmy Destri. Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, Zach Braff. Dario Argento. My mates.
