It's the end of the world as we know it

About Me

I'm pretty much over myspace. It's all about Facebook these days. Go there.

I Like
Cold weather, snow, Cherry Garcia ice cream, white beer, Rosé wine, Kettle Chips, cats, sunny days, piano, guitar, Tangfastic Haribo, my iPod, bed, tumble dried clothes, being part of a group, my job, the London Underground, Pure Poison perfume, things being neat and organised, my hair, Innocent smoothies, sitting on my own in coffee shops, book shops, the beach, kites, juggling, shoes, feeling liked, stars, compliments, table football.

I Don't Like
Being made a fool of, mustard, really hot weather, girls in Starbucks who tell me they are going to knock my head off, long hair on men, rude people, bad grammar, washing up, feeling unpopular, photos of me, people who play loud music on the bus, liars, being shouted at, octopuses, wasps, pigeons, red wine, pepper.

My Interests

The Bible, music, guitar, piano, books, talking, singing (badly), interesting places.

I'd like to meet:

No-one especially. I meet lots of people in real life, that's already too many faces to remember. But you never know, I like getting into conversations about music with anyone.

Music:

Pop, rock, classical, metal, punk, emo, ska, cheesy rubbish, 60s. I hate and detest R'n'B and opera and would rather not be subjected to country, easy listening or jazz.

I play the guitar and the piano a bit but I am very bad at both of them. The ultimate in cool is that I play the recorder!

Harry Potter
The Narnia Chronicles
The Snow Spider Trilogy
His Dark Materials Trilogy
Bill Bryson books (Notes From A Small Island, A Short History of Nearly Everything, Mother Tongue)
My Family and Other Animals
Yes Man
James Herriott books
Jane Austin books
