About Me

What to say??! I still live on the island and work for the Prison Service as a Training Co-ordinator its a rather hectic job, and somedays I feel as though my feet don't touch the ground!! I have a wonderful boyfriend Rich, who lights up my life. Its true when they say "things happen when you least it expect it." I have great friends, who always see the best in me and make me smile. :)Last September, I decided to jack it all in here and take off to Oregon, USA for three months. My brother and sister-in-law live there and they put me up!! I had the time of my life! I have no regrets at all, it took a while to get a job on my return back to the island, but its a experience I will never forgot and I will cherish the memories forever. I met some cool people and have been to some cool places, such as Las Vegas and Seattle and more importantly I learnt a lot about myself. I truly recommend getting away to anyone, its a life changing experience.The only thing I disliked about being out there is the fact that I missed my family and friends so much. Being away from home certainly makes you realise who and what is important.

Such a shame that Prince William is now getting married, I know I should have never turned him down!!!!As for people on My Space - any blasts from the past and likeminded people!!

Music:

God, what would life be without music?! I'm into all sorts...anything with a beat really!! Love to listen to my brother playing the piano and the guitar - he is a musical genious! I got the rhythm though!! Rick plays too, and he is fab and entertains me all the time! Enjoy listening to R n B, John Mayer, Jack Johnson and Snow Patrol. Love my cheesy pop too so that I can get my groove on!! Love to drive about in my little car with my music on!!!! One of my old time favourite songs is Lisa Leob's "Stay". There's a picture of me singing it on here!! Oh, I like Steve Vai too - he's one of the world's greatest guitarists, and one of my favourite songs is "Liberty", its a beautiful song, so much feeling!!
