Come on you cheeky vixen, get in the wheelbarrow!

About Me

I am geek
I love fresh black coffee far too much
I dress how I feel like dressing
I hate Blackpool with a passion (Even more strongly now)
I have a growing interest in photography and capturing moments in time otherwise forgotten
I love my job
I need a new car
I hate being single though I have a close group of friends that I love dearly
I have the same gripes about the world as most people
I talk to my cat, he plays fetch with me
I no longer have long hair and im loving it (though it needs another cut me thinks)
I want to end up with a woman who I can make feel special and who puts a smile on my face when I wake up in a morning because I feel lucky
One day I will be happy
I have a severe case of road rage (who doesnt though)
I have regrets in my life but dont let them get in the way
I dont get enough exercise, mentally or physically
I make my own life soundtrack every day and find it difficult not to have a tune on wherever I am
Im impatient and hate waiting for anything
I enjoy having my own space sometimes
I dont give my mum and sister enough time or appreciation
I will never fully grow up (good thing)
I procrastinate and am finding it difficult to finish this diatribe
I wont be suprised if most people have switched off and stopped reading by now
I will go snowboarding someday... someday it will happen!
Im too competetive
I need to dedicate more time to being creative with my photography and design
I rarely read
I enjoy a good film
I hate people talking through the film im watching
I think I annoy them by switching off and concentrating on the film
Attention seekers grate on me and are hiding things, people please, be more honest with yourself and others, I make it my goal to be as honest with people as possible, honesty really is the best policy in my eyes
Im not afraid to show my feelings
I couldnt live without gadgets and technology, back to the whole geek thing again
Im bordering on being an insomniac
I dont dwell on illness
I appreciate the sky at night and enjoy just being sat under the stars
Friends are the most important thing to me
Ive found I enjoy travelling but hate flying.. Goddamn why did I ever watch Snakes on a plane
2007 will be an interesting year and I intend to make it that way, however it may be
I am me...

I'd like to meet:

Tom Morello - The more I actually listen to his riffs, the more I appreciate his work

Movies:

I always enjoy a good movie, depends what mood im in as to what I wanna watch though. I like anime, action, comedy, horrors, bit of sci fi, foreign films.. bah ill watch anything if it catches my attention..

A few choice films I cant live without...

Sympathy for lady vengeance

Fear and loathing in las vegas

Godzilla

Akira

Old boy

Four Rooms

The Birds

Battle Royale

The Big Lebowski

Shaun of the dead, Day of the dead, Night of the living dead, Dawn of the dead (See the pattern emerging there??)

Dog soldiers

From what ive seen so far, anything from the Studio Ghibli collection. They are some of the most beautiful and aweinspiring films I have ever had the privilege to watch

Blah blah blah, id rather people ask me about films, I always enjoy a good chat about them

Television:

Dont really watch much tv to be fair, though when I do ill go for some Scrubs, My name is earl, Spaced, Dirty Sanchez and maybe some Mighty Boosh and CSI :) So I guess I do watch quite a bit of TV, just selectively ;)

Books:

My 2 favourite books have to be The Dirt and Long hard road out of hell. Both fantastic and both chronicling the excess rock stars enjoy... lucky bastards!! I have to add The Hobbit aswell, after my trip to Europe I realised just how many different people it can appeal to :)

Heroes:

I dont hero worship though I do have a huge amount of respect for Tom Morello, Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, Bill Bailey, Dita Von Teese and Kevin Smith. Also all the people that have made a difference to my life in whatever way it may be they still made an impression :)
