About Me

Uhh..ok, so I am meant to update this to fill in the gaps of the fragments you may know about me.
I live in an old cinema, a very, very cold cinema that's haunted by orbs...they show up in photos.
Often described as vague, I'm constantly in a dream world, doing my thing with music or design when I'm not making coffee for the jet-set of New Plymouth.
I formed a band with my friend Josie in 2005, called Shart Nouveau...we discovered that we couldn't quite emulate the success of our 2005 radio friendly hit "La La Lollipop" so we took a break, but it still lives in poster form. You'll see...when we go on tour with our favourite bands The Cure, The Brunettes, Tori Amos and Blondfire.
I don't know what else to put on this thing, so I'll sum up the basic properties of myself below in the following LIKES/DISLIKES section.
Enjoy lovers!
