Sarah - means Princess, so bow or courtsey dammit!

Confirmed Shopaholic

About Me

OK... I used to work waaaaay too hard and had my fingers in too many pies but now I'm going through a phase of just trying to enjoy life and live by the mantra 'I work to live, I don't live to work' and keep my work life to a minimum to give me as much free time as possible. It doesn't always work out that way, but I try my best.
I love fundraising - in 2005 I raised 3,500GBP for Macmillan Cancer Relief by trekking the Inca Trail in Peru. I am planning another challenge for 2008, so watch this space as I'll soon be bullying you all for donations!!
Am a popular agony aunt amongst my friends, and constantly have a soggy shoulder from being cried on so much. I don't mind though - I mean, what else are friends for, apart from setting you up with the dodgy bloke from accounts?!
I am movie and music mad and used to play the percussion, piano and a leeeetle guitar (not as in the size of the guitar, but as in the size of skills at playing the guitar) in my younger years (until serious adult work-type stuff took over!)
Would love to Socialise more, but in less alcoholic surroundings of the bars and clubs in Dubai. However, I love a good dance and chance to check out the young 'uns in Dubai (who all think they're uber cool) and generally have a laugh, so I am no stranger to the interior of many a bar and club in this plastic place.

My Interests

I love scuba diving and can't wait for an opportunity to dive here in the Middle East.

I enjoy venting my frustrations in a spin class or body pump class, or simple running on the treadmill in the gym.

I love to escape, so am glad it's cooling down now so that I can put on my hill walking boots and get out there trekking. I miss my 'escaping' weekends that I had when I lived in Scotland and would just get in the car with my hillwalking boots, camera and iPod and head 'out there', with my favourite destination being the ISLE OF SKYE. I miss Duvegan soooo much and can't wait to see that glorious Loch and Castle again! Oh and dinner and accommodation in the Three Chimneys wouldn't go amiss!Can't wait to go back!

I love trying new things, so most years my New Year's Resolution is to try something new different or unusual every month. It's my way of constantly challenging myself.

I enjoy travelling and am really looking forward to fulfilling my ambition of going to Japan before I'm 30 (my other top place before I'm 30 was Australia and I was lucky enough to celebrate my 29th birthday in Sydney!

I'm a passionate person who cares about way too many things and enjoy spending time fundraising for charity, particularly cancer aid charities due to how much cancer has personally affected those that I love. For my next challenge, my mind is torn between the choices I have to raise money for charity - walk on the Great Wall of China, a trek in Vietnam, a trek in Namibia or hike to Everest Base Camp.

I'd like to meet:

Robbieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Wentworth Miller
The LOST cast
The Scrubs cast
Kylie Minogue (and give her a hug)
George Clooney
Brad Pitt
Angelina Jolie
Madonna
All the bands on my favourite albums (The Killers, Embrace, The Kooks, The Editors, The Bravery, Razorlight, Foo Fighters... etc)

People I would like to meet if I could travel back in time:
Ghandi
Martin Luther King
Marie Curie
Einstein
Audrey Hepburn

Music:

Ecclectic and varied taste in music. My favourite depends on what mood I'm in and what I'm doing at the time.

Just now I'm loving top quality sounds from Razorlight, The Bravery, Embrace, The Editors, Foo Fighters, The Killers, The Kooks, Scissor Sisters, Mylo, Daft Punk, Robbie Williams, Gorillaz (and have Dirty Harry as my home-made ring tone courtesy of Adobe Audition!), Gwen Stefani and Lily Allen.

Movies:

Too many to mention. This also depends on my mood and who I'm with.

I am a HUGE Bond film and have seen 'em all! Casino Royale is great and Daniel Craig is AMAZING as Bond - more like who I envisaged Bond to really be when I read the books.

I especially love thrillers. Holy mother of crap! I watched Saw II recently because I heard Saw III is out in the cinema in the UK and people are fainting while watching it (meaning, it's a PROPER thriller!), so wanted to see Saw II before dashing to the cinema to see Saw III (try saying that when drunk!). It was vile! It was sick! It was everything a slasher thriller should be! Yay!
I do love the odd rom com though, but often find the endings too cheesy. That is one of the reasons why I liked The Break-up, as it DID actually end with a break-up and them getting on with their lives, instead of getting back together, which is what you normally expect in the alternate reality that is Hollywood.

Television:

LOST
Prison Break
Desperate Housewives
This Life
The Office
Extras
Little Britain

Books:

Love crime thrillers from the likes of Stuart McBride, Mark Billingham, Christopher Brookmyre...

Enjoy the funny romantics from the likes of Marian Keyes - great airport books.

Revel in the inspirational words from Paulo Coelho

Heroes:

Wonder Woman
Hong Kong Phooey
Superman
Angelina Jolie
Kylie Minogue
Anyone who has battled and won the fight again cancer
