My Interests

I like going to gigs, larping occasionally (my character is very lazy!), ballet, burlesque dancing, being a pirate, going to the pub etc.

I'd like to meet:

People, from all the beautiful spectrum of insanity that is the human race...

Music:

Dragonforce, Opeth, Gojira, Machine Head, Metallica, Biffy Clyro, Muse, Foo Fighters, Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Gallhammer, Viking Skull, Rhapsody, Lou Reed, Finntroll, Dropkick Murphys, Year Long Disaster, Flogging Molly and Achren and Nygotha from Glasgow

Movies:

Anything by Kevin Smith, Star Wars etc, LOTR, Pan's Labyrinth, any creature-feature like Boa Vs Anaconda(!), most vampire/werewolf stuff especially the Ginger Snaps films and American Werewolf obviously, dumb action movies like Die Hard and Lethal Weapon, mainstream indie films like Garden State, Lost in Translation, The Virgin Suicides, and most comic/graphic novel-based films, especially Hellboy and Sin City, though definately not League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (graphic novel: genius, film: not so much...).

Television:

I love Black Books, Spaced, Big Train, Buffy, House, Scrubs, Jonathan Creek, Mighty Boosh, Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe, Whose Line Is It Anyway, HIGNFY, Californication, Mock the Week, Red Dwarf and pretty much anything shown on the Dave channel...

Books:

I just finished re-reading Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass and also the latest Harry Dresden book. I also love anything by Douglas Coupland, and also enjoy pop anthropology/history/folklore.

Heroes:

I don't really have any heroes apart from my mum and dad who gave me a great start in life, love you guys!

space-time anomalies

Well, I was gonna have a good whine about the shiteness of the sound quality at the Barrowlands on Thursday night at the Opeth gig, and the extreme pansyness displayed in the 'pit' that night, but all...

It is a bit over-elaborate, you can hide out in Croydon...

Not a long post, just wanted to say that I thought In Bruges is the funniest film I've seen all year and that you haven't really lived until you've seen Colin Farrell karate chop a dwarf in the neck.....

any bones that need collecting?

Just went to see Juno and now I can't seem to stop quoting the script, like a 14 year old watching Reservior Dogs for the first time... It seemed to get the balance right between being a kinda c...

first sign of madness

Well, I thought I would sit here and type for a bit as I have just had a whole conversation with myself, out loud. It was about whether I should wash the dishes or have a beer first. If Co...
