If You Can't Win By Reason Go For Volume

About Me

I manage some fantastic bands and spend my days thinking about them more than anything. I have just about finished my first screenplay, already spent the money I got for it, and will be starting work on my novel soon.
I don't believe in doing anything by halves, I'm an all or nothing kind of girl. That's what I think anyway, according to my friends I'm just vague, eccentric, and difficult to make arrangements with.
I really like laughing, I find pretty much everything interesting. I'm totally encourageable and I kind of like that. I don't really give a fuck about mistakes made or lessons learned - whatever, do what you like.
I do prefer people who can spell, add up, make their own decisions and stuff but that's just me. I'm sure there are many people out there who don't and on a good day I'd say live and let live. Today I'd say FUCK EM.

I'd like to meet:

Hmmmmm, people with a sense of humour tend to go down well. People who are fairly laid back, people who don't really give a fuck, people with stories, people I can wander around with. People who can teach me stuff, people who make me feel like I'm part of something in this weird and wonderful world. Old people with a twinkle in their eyes, young people with cute haircuts.
