I am here for Friends

About Me

Hi! Because my name is so long and no-one ever knows whether to pronounce it 'ch' as in 'chain' or 'ch' as in 'sheep' (it's sheep 'ch' btw), my friends just call me Nina. My mom apparently hates the name because of someone she had an altercation with about a hundred years or so ago. This doesn't bother me however, and am quite pleased that my friends choose to call me Nina. Unless I've been bad or they really want to make a point, then they call me Charlina. My one friend, Carla, insists on calling me 'Sharleen', which really irks me but she's a good friend, so I just grin and bear it mostly. I must be a good person.

My Interests

Of late, Scrapbooking and Mosaic. But mostly, MUSIC!

I'd like to meet:

Madonna. And just so I could clear up a few things, Michael Jackson. Also would really love to meet Lisa Loeb as I haven't heard a song she's sung that I didn't love. So, Madge, Lisa, call me. Also Karma, from Karma (the South African band), also sings music to love.

Music:

Ah yes, music. Can listen, for days on end, to Lisa Loeb, Karma and Madonna. Know all the words and do tend to sing along in the car, except when there's another vehicle just in front or passing by on a clear day. Then I hum.

Movies:

Breakfast Club. Best movie ever. Joan of Arc also got me. Love to watch Owen Wilson in action and watched You, Me & Dupree with a grin slapped on my face the whole way through. Was in Grahamstown the other day, with nothing to do, so stopped in at the Cinema and the only thing I hadn't watched was 'Grizzly Man'. Well. Watch it, it definitely scores on my 'SSAD' possible award list (Strangely Sad And Disturbing). Yes.

Television:

Prison Break. OMG Wentworth Miller should be on my 'would like to meet list' but I'm afraid of what I might do should I ever find myself in his company. Poor Brad Pitt, the competition is really getting stiff out there. Also love to watch The Ellen Degeneres Show (sorry if I spelt that wrong - it's a long word I struggle to say nevermind spell!).

Books:

Sister of my Heart. Hands down one of the most delicious books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Also Mistress of Spices and Queen of Dreams. And who could forget The Power of One. Also like Jodi Picoult's books and Alexander Fuller (Don't Let's Go to the Dogs tonight). Am struggling to find a copy of Vikram Seth's 'A Suitable Boy' as I really want to read that!

Heroes:

Hmmmmm. Madonna. She's definitely an idol for me. In terms of what she's done with her life and her career, pure ambition baby!!
