I am here for Friends

About Me

Short yet vicious. Terrified of jellyfish. Workin' on THE plan.

My Interests

Theatre (the building and creating aspect, the acting I leave to the poo-fesionals) Art in a sense of it actually looking like something not a spilt can of paint, sculpture is best, reading is good, boating fun and the warmth of sand in the toes.

I'd like to meet:

Silly people, I've got a good head start but I'm sure there are those I've missed.

Music:

Weird mix of shit ranging from Nightwish to various terribly wonderful 80's songs to Barenaked Ladies, and lets not forget Spearhead "The way to my heart/ Is through a garlic clove/ It smells hella sexy when it's on the kitchen stove" .... It's all a bit odd

Books:

I've been sucked into Christopher Moore cause he = hilarity. 'The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists' by Gideon Defoe. "Cause what's my motto? I like Ham!" I adore Terry Pratchett, I'm trying to get into some Tom Robbins and trying for the life of me to finish the freakin Dark Tower series by Stephen King. David Gemmell does really good stories about a gigantic dude with a HUGE Axe (yay!)

Heroes:

Robin Williams and Eddie Izzard."Talking about art is like dancing about architecture." David Bowie
