My Interests

Such a general statement.....I'm interested in what makes people tick; what makes me tick (still finding out), I'm interested in the world, tomorrow, today, new things, times gone by, learning, teaching, becoming...but if you'd like the more boring list.... reading, travelling, films - anything french, music, my friends, my family, fashion, beauty, being creative- creative thinking :)I am 44% Metal Head.
.. Most other metal-heads acknowledge my presence, but they laugh at me behind my back. Maybe I need to stop spending all that money on haircuts and invest in a few Pantera T-shirts. Take the

Television:

Some of it's ok..!..I love Scrubs, The Office, Extras, Spaced, Mighty Boosh, Peep Show, Phoenix Nights, Friends/Will&Grace, anything with David Attenborough (he's my grandad you know)..

Books:

Fiction and thriller mainly :) I'm currently reading The Time Travellers Wife (for the second time) by Audrey Niffennegger. It's confusing at times because of the flow of the book but a really good read.

Heroes:

No Heroes as such....just a couple of people I admire: Johnny Depp - great actor and has made a great career from starring in quirky films, Audrey Tatou purely because she is so beautiful and a great actress, Tori Amos for her beauty and gorgeous music (if alittle strange at times).Not to forget my parents. For always being strong in the face of adversity. Better than any actor or musician :)
