I'm interested in learning new things and experiencing as much as I can before I die. I love going to gigs and rock clubs. I'm in the process of learning calligraphy. I enjoy fundraising for charity (animals only for me though)and interior decorating. I also love horses and I'm currently working thruogh a stage one course in Horse care although I am struggeling to learn all the different bones in an equine skeleton!!! Aside from that I'm a keen reader and music lover as you can see below.
I'd like to meet:
A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet, A friend is just someone who hasn't let you down yet. You tell me who would I like to meet? Failing that anyone who can help me learn to love like I've never been hurt I manage to sing like noone's listening and dance like noone's watching but haven't mastered the love thing yet!
Music:
R.I.P. to the mighty Fourwaykill I made 13 awesome shows by this band before they split and they gave me some of my best gig memories not least of all enjoying a boxing day christmas lunch with them in weston-super-mare (thanks Lee!!!) and getting to sing a few lines along with Rod at Junktion 7 in Nottingham of course not forgetting helping to pick the setlist for their charity gig in Cov! The Kill gone but not forgotten thanks guys! I love music in general and I think if I explored any given genre hard enough I could find one or two bands that I'd like (apart from Reggae and Jungle) I like Glam mainly fave bands include Poison, Def Leppard, ZZ Top, Tyketto, Wildside, Tuff, Danger Danger, Lita Ford, Warrant, Ratt, Winger, Alice Cooper, etc. as for metal Fourwaykill, Panic Cell, Balance Of Silence, etc. I also like a lot of 80s pop/new romantics stuff such as Spandau Ballet and The Human League. Also I like a little opera the only one I've ever really listened to is Phantom Of The Opera but I really enjoy it some of the music is really intense and then some is so fragile it's beautiful. Most recent find - M.ILL.ION their most recent album Kingsize is awesome Also into Shy check 'em out they're in my top friends. Bad Company, Neil Young, Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, Joe Bonemassa, Pink Floyd, are all new additions this year. Guilty pleasure - Kelly Clarkson loving her latest albumPoison - Only Time Will Tell
Quite possibly my alltime favourite song!Poison - Fallen AngelDan Reed Network - Rainbow Child

Movies:
Disney!!!! Brother Bear, Finding Nemo, Dumbo (my favourite weepy disney film never fails to get me when he visits his mother and shes rocking him in her trunk and then he has to leave and they stay connected by their trunks until they can't hold on any longer : ( so sad) Home On The Range, Toy Story, Monsters Inc etc you get the idea I also like old black and white horror films and anything with ghosts, vampires, werewolves, witches, dragons, shapeshifters etc in it. And of course weepy girlie movies hahaha like Shakespere In Love and Never Been Kissed (both reduced me to a blubbering wreck hehehe) Also Batteries Not Included is another fave. Still Crazy, Pirates Of The Carrabien, Razorblade Smile, Pretty In Pink, Cool Runnings
and an amazing old comedy (which stars Kylie minogue of all people) Biodome!!
Television:
I don't watch loads of TV but I like shows like Carnivale, Hex, anything with a bit of mystery or break from the norm also I really enjoy Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps British comedy at its best. Johnny Bravo is the best cartoon ever! Recently started watching Over There which is a real life/drama based on the war in Iraq I'm sure it wasn't as good out there as it looks on the screen but I guess there were things that went on out there that had to be glossed over for TV "We're savages, We're thrilled to kill, We're monsters and war is what unmasks us" quote taken from one of the soldiers in the programme it was part of a message he sent home to his wife. Of course TV was never the same after they stopped showing The Littlest Hobo, Pigeon Street and Trapdoor (I guess I'm not quite the same as I was when they were either)
Books:
Now reading:The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. It's a pleasure for me to say I've walked these pages with the bloody nine (a.k.a. Logen Ninefingers) Also love Running From Safety by Richard Bach. It's the biographical story of a man and a boy seperated by 50 years who come together to teach each other some important things about thir life. Has to be read to be believed. "We have a saying an excess of heart a shortage of brain" "The way he said it his proverb was sad truth." one of many great quotes from this book. For more info on Richard Bach including quotes from his astounding publications visit this site. http://www.inner-growth.info/main_bach.htm Completed the three part bartimaeus trilogy by Jonathan Stroud (The Amulet Of Samarkand/The Golems Eye/Potolemys Gate) An awesome series of novels set around a London ruled by magicians and the demons that they use to enforce their rule. I think everybody should read There's No Such Place As Far Away by Richard Bach apart from this other books that I enjoy are pretty much anything by Graham Masterton also a big James Herbert fan, Read a couple of Richard Laymon which I quite enjoyed other that that anyhing with vampires/werewolves in it. I read the twelve part Darren Shan series and thoroughly enjoyed it and also the first three parts of Charlaine Harris's vampire series Club Dead/Living Dead In Dallas/Dead Until Dark. One of my favourite books of all time is Rumble Fish by S. E. Hinton. I recntly watched the film that was based on this book and although it was good I didn't feel it did justice to the quality of the story. Laurell K Hamilton writes some amazing novels as well about Faries that walk among us and their world of magic hatred polotics love and desire amazing truely amazing!
Heroes:
Give me a reason to say you!
