About Me

I like: Aesthetically pleasing rock faces. The word 'jaunty'. I dislike: Doors with handles that need to be pushed to be opened. Children who cry to get what they want, and the parents that let them.

My Interests

Midgets, cheesecake, nuns, zombies, anything 'cultured': art/theatre and the like, writing poetry, rock climbing and and and...erm.. video games - yeah.

I'd like to meet:

Japanese schoolgirls. Killer Japanese schoolgirls from Mars. Although I guess they cease to be Japanese at that point. Do they have schools on Mars? So many questions. Hence the importance in meeting them. Obviously.Or monkeys. Monkeys that talk. Monkeys that dance. Monkeys that like cheesecake. Monkeys that can BAKE cheesecake! Monkeys with super powers. Zordon.

Music:

Something from every genre / a little of everything. Although mostly (hard) rock or 'kooky female artists' such as regina spektor, tori amos or fiona apple. Going through an electro stage at the moment though.

Movies:

Independant or french or JAPANESE films - o yes - but anything that makes me think. On the mainstream side of things though I like horror films. Gorier the better. Hoowahaha...

Television:

I don't like TV much, adverts frustrate me, as do most TV programs. If I like the sound of a series I'll get it on dvd.

Books:

The best book in the world is quite possibly Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, it's amazing. I want to be him one day. He's lived in Japan and everything! Oooh.

My Blog

Dispelling the JET myth

So it turns out that JET, at least for me, in London, yesterday, at that particular time, was actually nowhere near as evil as I've been informed, and I continue with my life, confident that in 7 mont...
