I am here for Friends

About Me

The Bert aka: Car Crash, Lulu, Snugglekins and just about every variation of 'Bert' you can think of.Just so you know- I've pretty much abandoned this. Try Facebook if you want to get in contact with me.Musical theatre and jelly snakes make the world go round.
I'm an 80s kid to the max. Ace mate.
Northern accents are amazing and as soon as, with any luck, I'm at uni next year doing Drama/Theatre Studies I shall pick one up.
Some of my main ambitions in life are to go bungee jumping, spend my life doing something I adore and being fluent in backslang.
Text speak in MSN conversations is not 'OMG sOoOOo kl!!11!!' It's bloody annoying.I'm certainly not cool, and I'm not planning to change any time soon. A few things that are a little bit special (in every sense of the word): ♥My uber-fake customised Converses that now look like I've pulled them out of a bin, then raided C n H Fabrics and stuck whatever I could steal from it over them
♥My new ACTUAL Converses! They have rainbows across them and thick rainbow coloured laces. I love them like a fat kid loves cake.
♥TRC parties (Valentine's Ball + TRC party= lots of drunken teenagers and stacks of profit. Result!)
♥Double vodka and Slush Puppie
♥Musical theatre
♥EVERYTHING about Borneo
♥My old-skool Dangermouse duvet cover
♥Cake Wednesday
♥London South Bank at night-time
♥Very enthusiastic luvvie pretty theatre boys
♥Wham Bars
♥The Go Kart- my fabulous car (as long as it's a good day and you don't go over 25mph)
♥The Breakfast Club
♥Watching complete shite on TV at sleepovres- recent highlights include 'Extreme Dodgeball' and 'The Crystal Maze.'
♥Dancing like there's no-one watching
♥Climbing trees
♥Old people thinking we're having gang-bangs in Starbucks
♥Playing 'Bullshit'
♥Pineapple juice
♥Late night Channel 4
♥Cheesy 80s music
♥Being called a 'theatre geek'
♥Falling asleep watching 'The Young Ones' on Higgs' sofa
♥Dancing in the common room
♥BBC comedy from 'back in the day'
♥Spending far too long on music sites
♥Friends' parents who treat you like their kids
♥Doing jazz hands 6 metres underwater with tropical fish around you
♥Having 'Double C!' shouted at me as I walk down the street
♥In-jokes like the one above
♥Pretty stage lighting
♥Dancing in raincoats with thousands of other people in a field to some truly awesome music while it chucks it down
♥My rainbow-magic filled bracelet
♥Walks in the orchard
♥Being held by someone who never wants to let go
A few things that aren't quite so special: ♦Chav gangs
♦Tea and coffee
♦Homophobia, racism and all that jazz
♦Organised religion
♦Coffee flavoured Revels
♦People with no imagination
♦Musical theatre snobbery (yes it IS still theatre, just with a few more tap dancing routines, songs and sequins...)
♦Being ditched as soon as someone cooler comes along
♦Having spitballs fired at you by 12 year olds on the bus
♦Dark chocolate
♦Being hurt by someone you love
♦Never being 'good enough'
I also have a slight reputation for being a faghag...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Someone who I click with and who I can spend hours with without it seeming like any time at all. Someone who can make me laugh to the point of tears. Someone for who honesty, trust and intelligence aren't foreign concepts. Someone who's not perfect, and accepts the fact I'm not either. Someone who won't leave me as soon as something better comes along. Someone who 'gets' me. And right now, I'm pretty sure I've found them. (Failing that, of course: Eric Idle, Stephen Fry, Graham Norton, Ashley Lloyd, James Lomas, Bill Bailey, Samuel Barnett and the dancing car in the Citroen C4 adverts would all be pretty fabulous...)

My Blog

Indiana Bert...

So yes, amazingly. I survived the Borneo jungles and returned to Britain about 2 weeks ago. (For those of you who don't know- I went to Borneo for 3 weeks with Cadets, living in various camps, huts, r...

THREE THINGS THAT SCARE ME: 01 | Mice (but ONLY wild ones that run out at you when you don't expect it. I think tame ones are cute.) 02 | Death of friends/family, particularly after Rebecca died. ...

Things I 'Ave Learnt....

From the Summer Holidays. 1) If it's sunny, do NOT assume that "it'll be OK this once" and forget to put sun cream on. You will regret it. Really. 2) Wearing white hats (that go luminous under ...
