so far, so good

About Me

I like to travel and love journeys. I'm into art, music, gigs and books. I work for a charity, but it's not a long-term thing and I think I want to go back to Uni to do an MA or work abroad. But I'm still figuring all that out. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to summer and walking round barefoot in the park.

My Interests

Music and going to gigs. Festivals. Dancing. Parties. Curling up in a heap of cushions like a cat and reading absolutely anything, but especially books on art, culture and philosophy and good fiction. Making sculpture things from wax, metal, tissue paper and stuff. Philosophising and ranting. Red wine. Travelling. Taking photos. Interesting people. Duvets and toast.

I'd like to meet:

Jarvis Cocker, David Attenborough, Courtney Love, John McTaggart Ellis McTaggart, Bill Murray, Olafur Eliasson, Anselm Kiefer

Music:

anything that's got soul and integrity and guts - it doesn't matter on the genre, so long as it's not cynical.

Movies:

Lost in Translation, Withnail and I, Amelie, Delicatessen, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Secretary, Coffee and Cigarettes, Forrest Gump.

Television:

Rots your brain - but I do love Family Guy, Neighbours, documentaries, cool wildlife shows and John Snow on Channel 4 news.

Books:

Will read everything and anything.

Heroes:

Either Neil or Vyvyan from the Young Ones depending on my mood.
