About Me

Just your average ho-hum run of the mill, down to earth, kind of a gal. Big kid at heart, mostly act shoe size than actual age!!!

My Interests

Music is a huge part of my life. Play Bass in an Edinburgh based band - Junior Priest - (web site www.juniorpriest.info) so with learning new tunes, and playing gigs, it occupies a lot of my time. Loads and loads-a-fun though!!

I'd like to meet:

Billy Sheehan, not just for his Bass playing abilities, but cos I reckon he would be a really cool guy to sit and just have a good ol' blether with.

Music:

Huge music junkie, like all sorts, but mainly classic rock/metal etc. Quite a diverse taste, but am always open to hearing new stuff.

Movies:

Karate Kid, Beaches, Steel Magnolias, Hell Boy, Trick or Treat, The Gate, Galaxy Quest

Television:

Quantum Leap, ER, NYPD Blue, Looney Tunes, Jamie and his Magic Torch, Simpsons, Futurama, Six Feet Under.

Books:

Not a huge reader, but do like Stephen King, James Herbert, Janet Evanovich, and Lian Hearn, to name a few. I do however, read Classic Rock Magazine on a more regular basis though.

Heroes:

My dad, gone, never forgotten.
