Likes: indie (the good variety!), writing, pastabakes at dawn, cats, ponies, chocolate, mixtapes, fanzines and a lot of other things!Dislikes: bad indie, whiney bands, dogs, scenesters, people who always know better, peroxide and a lot of other things.I used to run a label, the gravestone of which can be found here
I am currently writing for IShotTheDeputy.com
A selection of said short stories ... used to be there but the bastardos have moved server and rose to the occasion and deleted the lot!
I'd like to meet:
No scenesters, hipsters and fashionistas. If you like cats, you will do!

A random selection of bands I like and can think of at this moment in time. In no particular order: Helen Love, Spearmint, Bis, Urusei Yatsura, Blur, Throw That Beat!, Bikini Kill, Shampoo and many many more!Bands I certainly don't like: Coldplay (too whiney), Keane (too whiney), Travis (too whiney), Franz Ferdinand (posers!) and all the stuff nobody in their right mind would like.
Alternatively, if it's loud, has powerchords and I like it, it will do!

My favourite books are ... in no particular order: Most John Irving stuff, To Kill A Mockingbird, crime stuff (Minette Walters, the Kellermans etc) and Astrid Lindgren books.
Heroes:
Ferris Bueller for pulling a sickie in style.Orko for managing to always be He-Man's sidekick but come up with a great line at the end of every episode nonetheless.Drew Barrymore - very cool!
