I played connect the dots with your beauty marks / And I ended up with picture perfect sheet music. / I read your musical notes with a composer's eyes / And heard our song for the first time.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bernand so I can nick his watch, or Penny, so I can nick her crayon. I probably wouldn't know what to do with either of them once I had them, but they'd certainly come in useful. For chats I wish for Albert Camus, Haruki Murakami, Sage Francis, Kurt Vonnegut, Buck 65, David Hume. For straight up love, Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Lee, the dude from the Diet Coke adverts and Travis from Gym Class. For adventures, it has to be Guybrush Threepwood Mighty Pirate .View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment

The Hoverfly

I was looking at a hoverfly in my garden this morning, and I was thinking how simple life would be if you were good at just one thing in life, and even your name reflected that. It's really all h...

Stick Your Thumb In

Sometimes I wonder if anyone has ever gotten to the core of me. Sometimes I wonder if I've ever gotten to the core of me. Sometimes I wonder if I'm happy, and sometimes I wonder what happi...

Fashionable Androgyny

Me and Sera went to town today and were cruising around H&M's man's section for some cool sunglasses when we spied H&M Mascara for Men. What is this world coming to? Will we soon be goin...

Under My Shoes

I stand with my shoulders and the heels of my boots touching the brick wall. My hips are thrust forward, the paunch of my belly pointing outward threateningly. I have one hand on my hip, and the othe...

Funny Old Week

It's been a strange week for me. On Monday morning I crashed my car driving home from Matthew's so I could go to work. I was coming out of a junction and I couldn't see around the parked c...

Sundays Fuck Off

Even if I did achieve my dream and get paid to write books, which is highly unlikely because apparently readers of fiction enjoy these things called 'endings' which I never seem to get round to, I wou...

Saturday In A Garden

Every night I dream that I'm in exotic places with a swish digital camera and I snap and snap away, capturing beautiful images and longing for them to still exist when I awake. I suppose this pr...

Thoughts On The Past

She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land just like she's walking on a wire at the circus. One thing that I have learnt for certain in life, disregarding all the truly important lesso...
