The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits.

About Me


I'm a media whore. Err, I mean darling. A media darling. No, it was right the first time.
Give me a minute. I'll be quite charming eventually.
I have a thing for trains. I love trains. And Autumn. The season, not the person. Though I know a few Autumns and they are all lovely individuals. But, trains. What wonderful, lonely things trains are. Mass transit in complete annonymity. Scenery without responsibility. And the rhythm of the rails. Rhapsody in Blue was written on a train, inspired by the rhythmic thumps and thuds of the iron and steel. I love Gershwin.
I'm sorry, what was the question?
Did I mention I'm a DJ? Ypu should definitely tune in Monday, Wednesday and Friday to RFX noon to 3pm. It is cool and fun and you never know when I'm going to play something you actually *like*.
You know, that whole location field over there is highly misleading. I'm not a girl who stays in one place too long. When asked from where it is I come, the standard answer is England on a good day, North Carolina on a bad and Seattle in between. Where was I born? That's easy. Jersey, Bitch!!!

I'd like to meet:

People with an IQ higher than that of Mayonnaise.
NEWSFLASH: If we have not shared a pint, a cab or a cry and have no intention of ever doing so, chances are there is no point attempting to add me as a friend. Because we are not. I dislike friend whores, attention whores and bands who sound nothing like anything to which I would ever subject my ears.
NOTE TO BANDS: I spent many a year reviewing music for Epinions.com, CultureDose.net, Godiva Magazine Online and served as music editor for Vibra Latina magazine. I like music. I know music. This does not mean I will friend your band simply because the frontman is shagable. Or frontwoman. If you want my attention, send a message.
Yeah, I'm a bitch. But a fun one.

Music:

I’m a music whore and make no apologies about it. If you really want to know what I'm into lately, it's easy enough to stalk me by clicking here .
I was listening to Spoon well before anyone else. I still think Fiona Apple is an amazing songwriter, Roddy Woomble is the prettiest member of Idlewild and Harvey Danger write songs about me.

Movies:

I'm a filthy little film whore, though not as much since getting a social life. I'm also a screenwriter, which leaves me bitter and cynical about the direction of modern American film. Is there life beyond Wedding Crashers and Dukes of Hazard? One can only hope.

Television:

Most of the shows I really like are either no longer on or broadcast only on stations I don't get. So, other than the occassional Bravo mini-series, I don't much bother with the TV.

Books:

Neil Gaimen has recently replaced Robert Rankin as pack leader for my most favouritest authors. Nick Hornby would be up there, if only he knew how to actually end a story.

Heroes:

Arthur Dent; Dave Lister; Emma Peel
