Lenia

Hi - sometimes regretably - I live in London. I was born here - to two pioneering kind of people. I sailed around the world - right around - before I was 11, with all my brothers and sisters and my Ma and Pa. It had a fantastic affect on me. I lived on the pacific ocean and I been to Taihiti - I remember the boy in Cape Town and I shared my first 'innocent' boyfriend with my 'best' friend in Melbourne. I've lived in other places apart from London - and I know some of the English country side quite well. I trained as a hairdresser - a secretary - a horticulturalist - a teacher of language - a bartender - a dog walker - I am a portrait artist - a mural painter - a guitar player - a songwriter - a singer - a poet! I am a 'jack of all trades'...I can do or handle anything! I have 'fronted' a band and I have been a cleaner. I grow some of my own food. and I redress sofas. Bob Dylan said 'don't look back - it's for losers'. I guess I'm a loser. He also said ' I'm looking for that someone - to take it ...' I am that someone!! Another thing he said about if he were a fan of Bob back then - he wouldn't be now. I say Why not - and who's would you have become. - I used to write songs - the first song I wrote is called Song To Bob Dylan - ha ha. I am modest and forgiving. I'm very friendly - but make friends most slowly. I smoke - but I got a lot to say against it. I don't drink unless I'm inspired to. I walk alone and don't invite one in for a cup of tea. It's crazy writing these things out - for who? for myself, for you? What is this! It is mad - no?
