Dinner with my friends, drinks with my friends, music, going to gigs, painting, cocktails, tequila, coffee, cigarettes and alcohol, days/nights at the beach in every season, cooking, reading, walking around the city at night, drinking, theatre, my herbal remedy, catching up with friends who are so far away, cinema, rainy days spent under my duvet, fun times and laughing (I know what your gonna say Ms. Begley...how gayyyyyyy hahahaha). Well maybe I am. Deal with it. Build a bridge and get over it.

Television:
I dont watch much tv BUT Family Guy, Simpsons, Lost, Dexter, Nick cartoons such as Cat Dog and Ren & Stimpy, Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, My Name is Earl, The Office. Anthing that gives me the giggles. Usually I wait for the box sets and then watch them for hours back to back. Currently in possession of an Entourage box set. I miss Ab Fab, The Johnathan Ross Show, Bottom, The Young Ones, Eastenders and Coronation St - anyone from Ireland or England will understand.
Books:
Crime & Punishment (Dostoyevski) was the most moving book I've ever read, I had to read it again straight after I had finished. Dean Koontz because his books are sometimes the most f*cked up shit you'll ever read. Most of Irvine Welsh's stuff eg Filth, The Marobou Stork Nightmares, Trainspotting, Porno. The Vampire Lestat, Interview with a Vampire, Queen of the Damned, (Anne Rice), Post Secret, anything by Stephen King, the Bronte sisters, I like Auto/Biographies the best. Currently reading Rotten - John Lydon, the first page reads "no Irish, no blacks, no dogs" you have to love it! Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. My promise to myself is to read more and drink less. Whatever happened to staying in with a good book?
Heroes:
My Mammy, tear! Oh and also my brother who makes me laugh like no-one else, chases away wankers and looks after me so well. Oh, and did I mention my mam? And my brother? I dont think I did. Maybe I should.
