About Me

..Veggie by birth, artistic by nature & crazy-cat-lady by name (Some people also call me Shan ;). I have 7 rescued/adopted cats and 2 gorgeous foster kitties... How I wish I could have a dog too. My taste is very eclectic. I love colour, paint, pens that work, animals of any kind, old trees, my treasured friends, walking, travel, live music, black tea, baby spinach and grey haired men, grrr! I dislike; backyard breeders/irresponsible pet owners, sappy boy bands, people who wear fur they didn't grow themselves, pet shops and unnecessary waste.I am a volunteer with *FRIENDS of the POUND* (www.friendsofthepound.com/). Please click on my #1 friend for photos & info on dogs/puppies, cats & kittens all in need of good homes. Or just ask me directly here - send me a message! I'm always happy to help if it means saving a life :)BOYCOTT PET SHOPS - OPT to ADOPT!!! (We get plenty of pure breeds & designer animals at the pound too.)

Everyone on my music/heroes list and anyone with a genuine smile and good intentions :)

Music:

MARK KNOPFLER(guitar genius who just keeps getting better with age), ELVIS COSTELLO (ballsy & brilliant) and PAUL KELLY (an Aussie national treasure) - three incredibly talented musicians, all of whom possess the unique knack of writing subtly spectacular songs...

The Finn brothers/Crowded House/Split Enz, Gillian Welch, Archie Roach, Paul Simon, Lisa Miller, the Beatles (who doesn't?!), John Mayer, Chris Isaak (for a bit of fun), The Pretenders, Ross Wilson/Mondo Rock/Daddy Cool, Bernard Fanning, Xavier Rudd, Hunters & Collectors, Mental As Anything, Marc Cohn, Dire Straits (of course!!!), Sting, Dragon, James Reyne, the Angels... there are so many great Aussie bands, past and present and lots of awesome Brit bands too... It's impossible to finish this list!

Movies:

LOCAL HERO (best film ever!), Comfort & Joy, The Princess Bride (childhood favourite), Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind (& other Charlie Kaufman films), Groundhog Day, Amelie (it's just so pretty!)

Television:

Arrested Development, Little Britain, Seachange, Carnivale, Spicks and Specks, Extras, The Office (UK version), PeTA TV (Watch it, learn something!)

Books:

I'm a sucker for the classics - anything from the Bronte sisters to Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Jane Austin, etc... Also loooove Oscar Wilde and the man modelled in his image, Stephen Fry!

Heroes:

Peter Singer - one of the original animal liberationists, Chrissie Hynde - the ultimate rock chick with a compassionate heart...
