About Me


(This really needed updating!)Ok, I'm 24 and a little pipsqueak in size at 5'3". I' finished about 2 years ago my BA (Hons) degree in Marketing & Advertising coming out with a 1st class honours (I was 1 of 8 out of 134 people in my year to get one, hehe. How much of a boffin am I?! lol Not really. Spent most of my time at uni gigging).Currently I’m mainly working at my new work placement at 19 Entertainment and loving every minute of it! I can only hope it will become a full time thing (and I can then FINALLY leave Unichem after 7 years!).I’m also a passionate drummer. I’ve been playing for well over 9 years now, receiving lessons from Gary O’Toole (I recommend you check out his music school- www.myspace.com/garyotoole). I’ve been playing in Superkicks now for almost 2 years and I love my boys in it dearly, as well as all the friends I have been lucky to make through it. I hope it never ends!As for socialising, as much as I enjoy it, if you get to know me, you’ll find I’m almost impossible to pin down for a night out. Somehow I find myself always busy, and I apologise to all who know me for being crap in spending nights out- it gets to the point I have to start booking people in like appointments! But then if you know me well enough, you should be used to this with me. I don’t mean it offensively, I’m just a very busy girl!So feel free to drop me a message. Just I warn you, it might take a while for me to reply!

My Interests

drums, gigging, just generally music/ band stuff. My life at the moment doesn't really consist of much else. Unfortunately it doesn't pay... damn. Guess I should also add tattoos (of which I have 4; 1 on my lower back, a dragon on my hip, 1 between my shoulder blades which was a 19th birthday present from my parents, and a pair of blue angel wings), and piercings, well I have plenty, lol.Recently developed a likely for poker (Texas Hold 'em to be exact), and you can regualrly find me on partypoker.com under 'santonica', and normally losing, lol)

I'd like to meet:

The person who made this!!!

Music:

anything really although mainly rock, punk or metal and as long as it has a good drum beat. So... Marilyn Manson, Nightwish, NIN, SOAD (early albums), Disturbed, Foo Fighters, CKY, Blink 182, Guano Apes, Distillers, Violent Delight, Audioslave, Metallica (I hated these guys but lil' bro ALWAYS plays them now so it's grown on me), Pitchshifter, and then the opposite end of the spectrum, a bit of James Blunt (if you haven't heard this guy yet, you much! His drummer plays with beautiful feel!)www.myspace.com/superkicks www.superkicksmusic.com
