I am here for Friends

About Me

Umm...I hate these things. What are you supposed to say? Anyways, I'm from Seattle, and have lived in the UK for five years this year. When I go home people tell me that I have a "Nice Accent"...which is weird. I read too much, am very much into the green scene, and am addicted to both my Mac and my music. I studied photography at uni, and am currently living in London. And some days, that strikes me as the absolutely most amazing thing in the world.

My Interests

Music, books, the environment, green issues/fashion/living, hiking, camping, cycling

I'd like to meet:

If you're interesting, then I'd probably like to meet you.

Music:

Right now, I can't stop listening to Death Cab for Cutie, Sheryl Crow, Blind Melon, Bob Dylan, and Tracy Chapman. My only problem with living over here is that I can't find a decent, up-to-date rock station. I used to listen to The End obsessively, and now the only bands I know are from the brief period when I go home. It's depressing!

Movies:

Empire Records, Lost in Translation, V is for Vengence, Serenity...the list could go on and on!

Television:

Firefly. Go and watch it, right now. And then buy it, because it is so addictive. Why are you still reading this?? Go and watch it!

Books:

Ender's Game , High Fidelity , White Oleander , to name just a few.

Heroes:

Sam Abell. You'll probably have no idea who he is unless you're into photography or read a lot of National Geographic. Also, my mother's mother. She is a damn cool lady.

Deep Thought of the Week

The world can no longer have heros. A few hundred years ago, all someone had to do was save someone from a burning house, or something similar to be talked about and respected for the rest of their l...

Freezing

So it's the middle of January, and while all my friends in Seattle have had the pleasure of heaps of snow, in Cardiff it's been raining so hard I can hear it through the two flats above mine. I can't...

The Welsh and Coffee

So, I'm at work today. Usually this consists of wearing all black, looking artistically coffee splattered, and calling all my co-workers Bitch (a sign of affection coming from any Starbucks employee)...
