About Me

I'm 27, living in Wellington, New Zealand. I am originally from the Wairarapa. I currently work in Te Papa Tongarewa, the National Museum of New Zealand. I used to work fulltime in the cafe then got a job working with the scientist guys but still punish myself by working in the cafe from time to time. I like to paint, draw pointless cartoons, try to write the odd story and am also trying to learn the guitar. Some people call me Spaz, as a term of endearment.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


The people at TVNZ that decide what New Zealand shows get picked up... so i can punch them in the rucksack!
The cast of Outrageous Fortune, preferably in some kind of alcohol-laden BBQ-type setting.
Artists, musicians, filmy type peeps, anyone creative, inspiring and/or interesting, even people that are a little bit crazy but not in a 'yelling profanities as you walk down the street alone' kind of way... I don't need the competition.

I stole the wave thing from SPLIT END who reblogged it from no.blog
..
New Guitar Brand - Anthem Guitars ..
