About Me

i like lots of things really and my most common sound is "mmmmm". i like shopping and like to feel fabrics of things in shops. i like boots a lot and find it hard to 'let go' of my winter boots when summer comes. my friends and music are my favourite things. i love my godson and my dog stupid amounts. i find sarcasm very funny and i believe it is skill to be good at it. i think it is good to do favours for people. i'm pretty stubborn and i love betting with people, especially because i normally don't bet on things unless i absolutely KNOW they are right. it's great to win.

Television:

I like crap tv. although nighty night is amazing. in fact anything with julia davis is.

Books:

Vurt by Jeff Noon, and all his other books like Pollen, Automated Alice, Falling Out of Cars etc. he is the best author ever. I've loved the Douglas Coupland books that I have read like All Families are Psychotic, Microserfs, Miss Wyoming. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini made me think (in a good way). Dune by Frank Herbert is like a weird dream. No Great Mischief by Alistair MacLeod is like a proper memory. The Great Gatsby and Room With a Veiw are brilliant too and probably two of my all time favourites. favourite classic is still up in the air, but if Romeo and Juliet counts then that is it.
