About Me


Hey! I'm Vickie, I'm 20 and I live in either sunny Garstang, near Preston, or Manchester where I've finished my 2nd year at uni, started my 3rd, got Glandular Fever and other assorted illnesses, and have now had to defer to September 2008 :(.

Have just got back from Ibiza, where I spent 3 months of the summer with Emma, working and generally having lots of fun. Had SUCH a wicked time - Would definitely love to go back next season!

I like to have fun... Be it with people from home, people from uni, or both at the same time. Fun usually involves me falling over/hurting myself in some way or another, as i'm possibly the most accident prone person EVER.

I like to meet new people, visit new places, and see new things... Spontaneous adventures are the best, midnight intoxicated excursions also make for a cracking night out.
I like polka dots, black things, things with bows on them, piercings, and tattoos. I have a scar on my forehead from where I fell headfirst through a window, and another one on my foot where I impaled myself on a swimming pool step. I..m a bit of a retard really... I like vodka, doing jigs (one usually being a direct result of the other), and laughing until I cry. I can be an outrageous flirt, but it..s usually subconscious. I drink an excessive amount of diet coke but prefer sprite. I like boys with eyeliner, cold pillows, cups of tea and Philip and Fern. A girl can never have enough handbags. I get on with boys better than girls, as a general rule. I live with 6 guys, and they..re the best. Buy me flowers and I'll love you longtime. I LOVE cats. I've met Dave Benson Philips, and kissed Pat Sharp from FunHouse(legend). I LOVE shoe shopping, especially for pretty heels, but spend 90% of my life in trainers. I forgive but I rarely forget. I love my friends to bits.

My Interests

Music - I play Violin (Grade 6), Piano, Keyboard and a bit of Guitar. I love going to gigs with my friends, and frequenting The Venue on a Friday night when I'm at home... Ooh...and outdoor raving and misbehaving in the Lake District in the summer!At the moment I spend most of my time catching up with people when I'm home, and generally having a good time on my limited student funds!

I'd like to meet:

Jeff Buckley, John Lennon, Bill Hicks. All dead unfortunately! Noel Fielding, Noel Edmonds, and Philip Schofield are also up there too. Alternatively, my doppelganger. Would make for a strange day out!

Music:

Musically I'm into a lot of different stuff...I like Guns n Roses, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Jeff Buckley, Jurassic 5, Audioslave, Velvet Revolver, Black Sabbath, Alice in Chains, The Prodigy, FatBoy Slim, The Music, AC/DC, Pantera, 2Many DJs, Dragonforce, Iron Maiden, Basement Jaxx, Audio Bullys, Johnny Cash, Saul Williams, Smashing Pumpkins, The Wildhearts, Garbage, The Flaming Lips, David Bowie, System of a Down, RATM, Faithless, Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, GLC... I'm also partial to DubStep, Drum n Bass, Hard House, Techno and Breaks!

Movies:

Favourites include... The Wicker Man Requiem for a Dream The Long Good Friday Pulp Fiction Blow American History X Romper Stomper The Shawshank Redemption The Green Mile The Acid House Human Traffic

Television:

I'm not a massive television person, but The Mighty Boosh, Peep Show, The Office and The League of Gentlemen are a few of my favourites. I hate the majority of Reality TV programmes, Bo Selecta is wank, and Little Britain's pretty crap too. I wish Catherine Tate would fall off the face of the earth. In an ideal world, Gladiators and Baywatch would still be on...as would The Crystal Maze!

Books:

Enduring Love - Ian McEwan, Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden, The Wasp Factory - Iain Banks, Stupid White Men/Dude Where's My Country - Michael Moore, The Dave Pelzer "A Child Called It" Trilogy.
