About Me

I like words, stories and fables. I love gardens and things that grow in them, finding lovely vegetables and flowers.

My Interests

Music, purple aura, flora, gypsy living, Manu's cooking, animation, foreign cultures from the past.Sitting on my seat in the Geelong Botanical Garden. It's my seat. It has my apple stickers on it.

I'd like to meet:

Colonel Brandon, Mr. Darcy and Count Vronsky. Maybe Stephen Blackpool. Definately Elvis. Sweet Elvis.The owner of Cheetham Salt on the way to Drysdale so I can ask him what happens to the big piles of salt when it rains.

Music:

50's rock n roll Folk Fine / Classical Rock N Roll Jazz Blues African Folk Country Bit of metal bit of punk bit of hippity hop (but probably not enough to really speak about it)

Movies:

The Virgin Suicides, Elephant, Ten, Mary Poppins, Swing, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Shawshank Redemption, Lost in Translation, The Power of One, Pretty Woman, Chocolat, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Peter Pan (real life version), Forrest Gump, Harry Potter series, Undressing My Mother, Russian Ark, Old Elvis movies, Tim Burton's work. Coffee and Cigarettes, Alfred Hitchcock's work. Madman Films (c), every single one is absolutely amazing.

Books:

Nirvana's children (it's not about the band Nirvana), the Virgin Suicides, Harry Potter Series (Snape was a good man, I honestly want to believe it. Who is R.A.B? a member of the Black family for sure), anything Jane Austen (almost anything), Leo Tolstoy (russian lit is a saucy minx), a wee bit 'o Dickens (I say a wee bit because alot of it is boring as sod, I'll be dead before I finish Bleak House), and a whole lot of Fforde. I can't read Edgar Allen Poe at night because he's scary, but during the day he is a legend.I like reading books in Russian. I don't speak russian so I make up what's going on and then read a translated version and marvel at how different it is. It's one of my fetishs.
