One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

About Me

I'm working at a debt recovery firm at the moment until I manage to decide on something better to do: ideas at the moment include the Crown Prosecution Service, being an A-level teacher and saving the world from injustice. Ahem. One day, I'd love to write books, be a judge and have super-powers. I also want to travel to far-flung exotic places (and everywhere else), but am not keen on the idea of living out of a backpack....so i shall have to either a) rob a bank b) write a best-seller or c) marry a millionaire. However in 2005, without having to resort to any of these options, I did go to Prague, and China (Shanghai, Bejing and Xi'an). Last year (also without marrying anyone old and rich) I trotted over to the Green Isle that is Ireland and went to Germany several times. This year, the legend that is Svend and I plan to geek it up (to the MAX) in Japan. I never know how to write down the sort of person I am... basically everyone on my friends list knows me anyway, so I don't need to tell you I am pretty much insane, but you LOVE it, slags. I love asian cinema, anime, books and knowledge of all kinds. I value friends very highly, and spend most of my time with them. Most of my tastes err towards the dark side...but I am no Goth, I just appreciate that sort of thang. Actually, I am a bit of a Goth. I like quirky humour and interesting people who laugh at really inappropriate moments in horror films.
