I love playing football, but unfortunately have not for a while as can't find a team:(
I really love cycling and the freedom you feel when you walk out of work to your bike and realise you could go anywhere without relying on anyone else..I have been known to have road rage at cars tho..
Im beginning to appreciate the beauty of rugby, and am part of Five Ways Old Edwardians Women's Rugby Team. (we just won our first match. it was exciting)
Also...snowboarding is amazing, when you turn into the mountain and feel yourself swing round (without falling and wrecking shoulders, ankles or wrists!) it is heaven.
I have alot of fun annoying my sister - tho she beats me hands-down when she starts going on about physics. Rock-climbing (outside and in)!, The Edinburgh Festival, Glastonbury and festivals like Exit fest in Serbia. I think Eastern Europe is so intrigueing. I love travelling, and being in situations where eveything is different but ultimately you can draw similarities between what you know and what you don't.
I adore dance theatre.
It all pretty much rocks my boat.
I'd like to meet:
Friends i know, friends i don't know..I dunno, send me a message and maybe we'll click!

Television:
Well, obviously ER is pure escapism.
Shameless rocks- i love James McEvoy. SO much so, that when i saw him in Narnia (he's Mr. Tumnus, so cute!) i had the hots for him. Is that wrong, to love a man/animal? Oh well.Sugar Rush - nice to see an actual lesbian drama
The L Wordi dunno, quite enjoy rocking out to random shows on the telly. i would say docudramas and documentaries, but our digi box has just conked out so really tv ain't happnin round here much.
Books:
I'm drawn to short stories- large fictional novels do make me anxious; i get the feeling i'm wasting time...I'm sure that feeling will shake tho;0 *Raymond Carver is great, *Anne E. Proulx is good too, *Alice Walker, and poetry too - wow, just bought an anthology edited by *Carol Ann Duffy,,amazing,,
i'll get to actual books another time
Heroes:
Bigup Evo Morales, the indigenous president of Bolivia- he's given control of the gas company back to the people- and away from foreign investment. Following hot on the heels of La Paz's water revolution..Yay!
