I am here for Friends

About Me

I edit/write for/staple and distribute my own music fanzine called Play The Song I Like. My friends contribute to the 'zine either by album reviews, gig reviews or support. I couldn't do it without them.I love to smile, spend time with friends, draw friends -- though I never have the courage to ask them to sit still for me, so I just draw random things and give them to them. I usually photocopy them before-hand, but I can be very forgetful, so I may forget, which is the reason I photocopy.I love to laugh at stupid things, make fun of myself -- act like a clown. It's quite easy you'll see.I love singing to songs I love, even if I'm out of key.I love living when I let myself.Sometimes I waver from all the things I want to be -- the person I try to be, but Sometimes is a word I over-use.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

To meet Hemingway in a dream would be lovely.
