About Me


sadly, my life can be reduced to the following few dot points:
- i am australian. i live in brighton. unfortunately, this does not make me special or unique in any way.
- the winter is too cold for me, so i rarely leave my flat. hermitdom is rather befitting.
- i have a stupid hybrid english/australian accent.
- i work in publishing.
- i am in no way, shape, or form, a 'bit gothy'
- i play the violin. badly.
- i like (reading) books. and (making) zines. and (taking and developing) photographs. and (listening to) music.
- i really don't like geckos. they scare me.
- i am a film and coffee snob.
- i am mostly bitter and enjoy a spot of sarcasm.

My Interests

art. books. coffee. craft. cultural studies. diy. graphic novels. hating geckos. independent media. laughing at welsh accents. making things. music. photography. publishing. punk rock. sarcasm. scottish accents. sewing. travel. veganism. violin. zines.

I'd like to meet:


a bloody croc. and people who are nice. especially those who live near me, and will drink coffee and partake in gossiping with me.
i wouldn't like to meet: bands who are stupid. and people who try to add me and then don't want to talk to me - i am friendly (sometimes).
