it's the damn spices! ...and they're ruining my appetite like some poisonous sandwich of evil

About Me

My name is Laura.
I be this person:
Although quite often I wear silly hats, like this:
I'm a writer, a bassist, and an artist, all of epic proportions. Look at the evidence! One naff story published in a sociology book, and a song called Dave is a DJ (she isn't, or she is but I don't know about it. Whichever way, she wears loud shirts). I'm otherwise lazy, vain, don't like smells and I flail about without meaning to. I occasionally make hair extensions for people, and run Pink Pirate Hair from the comfort of my living room. Highly exciting stuff, I'm sure you'll agree.
I also like to prat about with a camera, and I love writing both surreal and dark comedy. You can go to the Xird Image website to see some of that, but only in the future as I've only uploaded the first page or so. You can admire my website skills thus far, though.
My grammar is abysmal, as it should be. I also have a habit of muddling words right up. It's the true essence of me in electronic form.
If you want to read my ever-fascinating blog, you'll have to go over to my livejournal and comment to be added, what with it being friends only and all. If you haven't got one then you're a fool.

My Interests

I'm a slacker who likes comedy and electro. Plus leopardprint, sparkly things, and my precious bass guitar. Pink and stars are also good. As is dancing.

I'm easily pleased =)

I'd like to meet:

Fun people. Especially those who like me, aren't afraid to be the first ones dancing. In fact if nobody else joins in that's even better :P

If I know you from somewhere, that's good. If I add you it's probably because I've either seen you out and about or we have mutual friends.

I'd like to meet other performers and writers. Other wearers of neon and pink. Other electro girls and boys. Robottes. And people who want to pay me to make their hair look all magical, of course :D

I met all my heroes in real life in November, how much better can it get?

Music:

I have a very diverse taste in music. However, if you are an 80s metal band, an electro band, or a Japanese band who likes to make me cry, then you're probably in the mix somewhere.

Television:

The Mighty Boosh, Green Wing, Nathan Barley, Kath & Kim, South Park, Father Ted, Black Books, Garth Marenghi, the IT crowd, Futurama, The Sopranos, Rainbow, all of the self-indulgant tosh they show on Living TV, the X-factor [:P], general comedy piddle on Paramount that fills my day when there's nothing better to do than watch Cheers in your underwear...

Books:

Non-fic... music biogs, true crime etc.
