I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm 23 years old, live and work in London. I have what some may consider to be a manic obsession with music, listening to as much as possible and using it to share experiences in my life. I live in a dreamworld.I sing in a band called Touchstone - Classic Rock Society Best New Band 2008. We're pretty chuffed with that.I love to try new things, have fun and laugh wherever possible. Never forget where you came from, even if it means poking and laughing at it. Don't be afraid to make and arse of yourself. It's fun, I Promise.

My Interests

Reading, writing, listening to music, writing it, performing it. Trying to bring elements of positivity into other people's lives. Spending time with family, close friends and the church.

I'd like to meet:

Martin Luther King Jr. People who think in either the exact or totally opposite way to me as either make great conversation!Also.. Our Lady Peace (My Favourite band, check them out) and the Goo Goo Dolls.Lee Evans!!!Johnny Depp but he would have to be wearing his Jack Sparrow getup - Grrrr!!!

Music:

Music can entertain you but also define you: OUR LADY PEACE, Jimmy Eat World, REM, Eva Cassidy, James Taylor, Flyleaf, Switchfoot, Talking Heads, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beatles, Enya, Alice Cooper, Maire Brennan, Incubus, Muse, Snow Patrol, John Denver, Linkin Park, Peter Gabriel, Adiemus, Death Cab For Cutie, Counting Crows, The Goo Goo Dolls, Breaking Benjamin, Something Corporate, The Feeling, Korn, My Chemical Romance, The Scorpions, Adema, Skillet, Angels and Airwaves, Blink 182, Tori Amos, Joni Mitchell, Band Of Horses, Vertical Horizon, Longview, The Fray, Elvis Presley, Bobby Vinton, Royworld!

Movies:

Now being past the teenage obsession of Titanic (oo Leo Dicaprio, what a dreamboat - hopefully not a sinking one...) I really like films with depth (Secret Window, the Butterfly effect, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and have always liked Cruel Intentions. It's always good to be silly though and lark about sometimes though too. Secret Window, Big Fish, Robin Hood (Men In Tights), The Jackass Movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, There's Something About Mary, the Bridget Jones Films (to be watched whilst consuming copious amounts of wine and chocolate).

Television:

Bill Bailey, Lee Evans, Black Books, Spaced, Jackass, Simpsons,Green Wing, Top Gear, Mock the Week, Love Soup. Anything silly. Occasionally I'll go mad and watch Wildlife on One.

Books:

The Bible, James Herbert, Robert Rankin, William Blake, JD Salinger. Anything thought provoking. Unfortunately I do not get as much time to read as I would like...

Heroes:

Anyone who can stand up for what they believe in and just be themselves no matter what their peers think. Those who follow their dreams and enable other people to follow theirs. I hate being around people who put on facades to make other people think they are great.
