About Me

My partner and I are finally into our new place and into the renovation stage... I've discovered I will never make a career of house painting. The only fun part is putting paint where its not supposed to go... and that doesn't make painting very productive in the long run.With the support of Dan I've given up my full time "fast track" career into management mediocrity and I'm now working on a contract basis and studying design full time. Hell, why not? Life’s for living right? And as long as you’re enjoying it there’s no reason not to bite off more than you can chew… and chew like hell! Besides after I design an amazing piece of overpriced consumer candy Dan will be able to retire! :p .

My Interests

Music, reading, photography (viewing and taking), art shows, theatre, music festivals, wine tasting (just inherited some REALLY good bottles... ooh we're going to have fun christening our new place), going to the cinema (I'm currently loving all things French) ... all the usual stuff really. I also love cooking delicious food for my friends, designing and sewing my own clothes and a whole heap of granny-like hobbies I'm trying to kill! I'm also studying design at present and I'm discovering I like to draw (hence some of my less crap stuff making it onto this site.

I'd like to meet:

My family? (yup, still bitter! :P), E.T , Katherine Hepburn (that woman is had balls!) , God ( if such a being does exist) and myself in 10 years to see how I turn out and if I do reach my current goals of winning lotto (guess I should start buying tickets ? ), becoming a fireman and designing an enlightening toilet roll holder (I've been told enlightenment is when you get rid of your shite).

Music:

My tastes are pretty eclectic and depend on what mood I'm in . At present I'm in luuurrve ( ok you can throw up now ) and so I'm listening to Madeline Peroux a bit. I also love the The Fumes, Angus and Julia Stone, Walrus, the Donnie Darko soundtrack , The flaming lips, Deathcab for cutie, Muse , Melanie Horsnell , Sneaker Pimps , Incubus , Beth Orton , Sarah McLachalan , The Strokes , The Vines , The Fumes , James Taylor , Carol King , Queens of the Stoneage, The Dresden Dolls, Bob Evans, The Foo Fighters ... Well you get the idea ( I'm skits! :))

Movies:

I love Amile , Thankyou for smoking, Priceless, Paris in love, Love me if you dare , Donnie Darko , Benny and Joon , Kiss Kiss Bang Bang , Pulp Fiction and anything that gets me hot, makes me think or giggle ( preferably all! )

Television:

TV is a vacuum for your brain !... But it helps when I'm too brain dead to do anything else. I spent a week in front of it with a torn calf muscle (skipping accident... no... no alcohol was involved!) and have decided daytime television is designed to drive you back to work

Books:

Everything ... if it has pages and a cover I'll read it!

Heroes:

Wonderwoman ( cause she looks great in short shorts and I want her boobs! In addition to her being a fighter for good against evil :) ) and anyone who can rub their tum and scratch their head at the same time. Or anyone who has found it in their soul to follow their heart and change their path, no matter what.

My Blog

Yay for the sun!

Well ladies and gents... Summers been a bummer so far! Today has been the first day of sun in weeks and weeks and weeks. And after a rather traumatic week (for lots of reasons to numerous and boring t...
