About Me

A dysfunctional professional ... I'm sitting here thinking, what now? I no longer have 'being a student' as an excuse for sitting around diverting from 'real work' ... so for now, its the fact that I'm the web monkey/interview nutbag/reviews mistress of the rockin' webzine, Pure Rawk !

In a nutshell, I'm music/football mad. With regards to the footie bit - I love watching and talking about it. I'm a die-hard Chelsea supporter and have been for the past 13 years. I love films, video games, music and 'rockin' out' is one of my favourite things to do. Oh and I play a mean tambourine too.

Check out PURE RAWK - the website for ROCK/METAL/PUNK/GLAM/SLEAZE! (specialising in unsigned/breakthrough bands)

It also has a MySpace! www.myspace.com/purerawk - check it out.

To make your page rather nice copy the uber pretty Pure Rawk GIF. If you'd like to ... Oh, and a small note about banners and glitter graphics ... as much as I love anyone thats on me friends list ... don't post massive tacky glittery things on here and if you want to post something, resize any banner you pop on ere ... or I delete the beasty! Nobody likes oversized stuff, it's mean.

My Interests

Likes:

Rock Music (duh ... see below), football (soccer), writing, having a beer or two, wrestling (watching, not doing) anime, drawing, dogs, video games (mainly RPGs), films, rock music bits and bobs (anything from badges, setlists, tickets, tees etc etc), travelling, laughing, talking, rockin out (its not the same as music) and getting up to generic mischief.

Hates:

Not having music or football, not being able to laugh or have a beer or talk ... or rock out. Oh ... and apathetic people and scene kids. Man they piss me off! ...

I'd like to meet:

Non-superficial dudes or dudettes with a love of life and all its vices and something interesting to say ... a love of rock is essential. People who read Pure Rawk. People who know what 'T.i.T' stands for. People who like tramping and being piratey. Good new bands with something exciting and new to bring (see Pure Rawk).

Music:

I am 74% Metal Head.
.. I rock just as hard as the rest of the thrash set, except when no ones looking I like to get down with a little "More than a Feeling." Take the
Metal Head Test

Television:

I am 73% Video Game Addict.
.. Video games are a big portion of my life, maybe too big of a portion. They are not a means of social interaction, despite what I might think. I should just go outside. Take the
Video Game Addict Test
@ FualiDotCom South Park, Simpsons, Open All Hours, Hi De Hi, Frasier, Black Books, Friends, Some Mothers Do 'Ave Em, Red Dwarf, Cheers ... good scripted comedy to make me laugh when I'm down ... Never Mind The Buzzcocks, WWE Raw/Smackdown, Crystal Maze, DreamStone (does anyone remember that? class cartoon!), Knightmare, Soccer AM, Tommy Lee's Rockstar Supernova, Rock School.

Books:

Nick Hornby books - excellent writer (How to be good, High Fidelity, About a boy, Fever Pitch), Breakfast at Tiffany's (and anything by Truman Capote), I'll admit I was quite hooked by Motley Crue's 'The Dirt' .. but it should be read only ... not put into practice for the sake of being 'cool', John Boyne's 'Boy In The Striped Pyjamas' (man, that book had me close to tears - the first book 'for kids' about the Jewish holocaust. Seriously touching stuff), Ben Elton's 'Past Mortem' and copious amounts of video game theorists such as David Freeman and Gonzalo Frasca.

Heroes:

Anyone with a love of life and kind heart that isn't out to get something for themselves thus screwing someone over or play with their feelings ... those people deserve to meet a sticky mess *pokes them with a stick*
