All I want is a place in your heart to fall into

About Me


* I'm independent, yet lack self-confidence
* I like street performers, but am scared of mimes
* I’m enthusiastic and excitable, yet vague and reserved
* I don't drink, but often end up acting more drunk than anyone
* I worry about everything, but blindly believe everything will work out ok
* I laugh too easily, and cry too hard (to steal lyrics from The Whitlams)
* I over-think some things, and do others without thinking at all
* I love cars and motor racing yet am scared of driving
* I have a fear of conforming, but want to fit in
* I am friendly and outgoing, yet shy

I also believe that my life is like that film, The Truman Show. Or, if you will, The LOUman Show.

This makes me so happy I want to cry...

Belated ’Burgh Stuff

Hello, you.  You're my favourite. Anyways, I realise that I've been slack at telling you (my favourite of them all, did I mention that?) about exciting happenings in my life.  I don't have t...

I'm moving to Slough: Roundabout Capital of the Universe

When I went for this job down in Slough, my mum could think of only two good things to say about the place. "It has a LOT of roundabouts!!" she told me.  I just sort of *looked* at her.  And...

Those days when you just go "DAMN I need a trilby right now!"

Am I the only person who has "GOOD LORD I NEED TO WEAR A TRILBY TODAY!!" days??  I can't be.  Is this is frequent medical condition across the world?  Trilbyitis. Anyways, so, I had it ...

Staring death in the face (err, ish..)

Hello! So I thought I'd stick my head out of the window to get some fresh air into me.  I didn't realise how far my window opened.  I've got a, um, we'll call it a window seat, that'll do......

Oh dear.  You would not believe how many people in the States recognised me as "the girl in the hat on MySpace".  It was genuinely bizarre.  Cool, though.  But yes, slightly bizarr...

Fiiine... I give in.... I pimped my myspace...

Look, I've done it.  After, well, years I guess, of that garish turquoise style colourscheme that I picked almost literally with my eyes closed.... I've finally done something about it. I got car...
