About Me

MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile GeneratorHi! welcome to my newly updated page!!!for anyone who doesn't actally know me, I'm a parent and I also work part time doing random stuff. I live with my partner of 5 years Tony (we share the same birthday..) and our 3 year old daughter Sofia. I keep pretty busy, but in my spare time I like to do latin dance aerobics (when I can) and go to the beach. I grew up in Auckland. My first pet was a chicken named Mohawk. I've had lots of frogs, a goat, lots of cats and a couple of dogs, now I have tropical fish and they're the most annoying pets I have ever had especially the siamese fighting fish .gah.. I used to work many hours in a nightclub and did work as a tv extra and was a zoo volunteer. I like tattoos and would like some more soon. I like coffee.

My Interests

Arty stuff- painting, photography etc. music, latin dancing, aerobics, yosakoi, making stuff, psychology, watching Tony fighting, snorkelling, shoes, growing veges in my vege garden, digging random holes in the backyard etc. I do a lot of sewing, I love cooking. . I like cooking classes, my last one i went to was traditional Thai (when I was 5 months pregnant (how long ago was that??)). I like travelling (so far I've been to the USA, Canada, Hawaii, Australia & Japan) One of my goals for the coming year is to take heaps of different classes and learn lots of useful new skills, maybe another language, maybe belly dancing or something out of it like that. maybe african cooking.

I'd like to meet:

I'm in Eastern Europe - Bulgaria, Greece etc. I'll be keeping a regular travel blog with heaps of photos!

Music:

I like a lot of different music - lots of Metal, some hip hop, a bit of latin music, some jazz. I'm not going to limit myself (:dawn of azazel, cannibal corpse, morbid angel, forced to submit, cryptopsy, nile, immolation, ulcerate, promise of bloodshed, vital remains,incantation, and deeds of flesh, cystic dysentry, m.o.p, mobb deep, m.m.o. GZA, La the darkman, alchemist, spider loc, snoop dogg, wu tang etc, benny benassi, led zep, motley crue, slayer, pantera, down, el gran combo, perez prado, black sabbath, yngwie malmsteen, joe satriani, dean martin, frank sinatra, al green, barry white, ken hirai, the list goes on.....

Movies:

I really liked 28 days later, the new texas chainsaw massacre (and the old ones too), Identity, labyrinth, freddy got fingered, white chicks ( I laughed my f**ken ass off), the new dawn of the dead movie, the omen movies, the exorcist, the butterfly effect, donnie darko, Amelie, scarface, goodfellas, once upon a time in china, hero, shogun assasin. sawI and sawII. shaun of the dead, kung fu hustle, beautiful boxer, city of god, Battle Royal, Kill Bill I&II, the story of Ricky (but only because the gore is so unbelievable and the special effects are so crap it's funny), Borat, Black Cat White Cat, the hostel, 300.I have not seen ET, Romeo and Juliet, or Titanic.My Greece Slideshow

Television:

I like heroes, grey's anatomy is good, ugly betty, csi, desperate housewives and the Sopranos except when there's too much talky-talky dr melphi stuff and no hits etc. oh oh and Fashion Tv

Books:

I actually read a lot, I like Thomas harris, John Grisham, Mario Puzzo, and really like reading Patricia Cornwell books, they're so hard to put down. also this criminal profiler John Douglas has written a couple of books that have been quite good. I read readers digest... I usually get out heaps from the library, mostly books on how to make stuff (if I was bigger I'd be a builder although I managed to make a 2m long book shelf when I was pregnant), and gardening books etc. I'm a bit of a namby-pamby Martha Stewart type like that.

Heroes:

I have plenty of great friends and I think they're all pretty choice. Luckily for me I've met lots of talented, strong, kind hearted, compassionate, intelligent and artistic people who have inspired me and still do inspire me in so many different ways.A small selection of my Bulgaria photos!
